Also, if "Blue Flames" is going to be the "official" RetroPie theme, does that mean it will be the default on new installs of the OS? In which case, forget Carbon: we need to focus on Blue Flames IMO.
Blue flames is in the official Retropie theme list but it's not the official theme. Cygnus - Blue flammes is one of the most completed theme because it's the one used for "Development of module-script generator for lr-mess and mame standalone" project.
You can create a "pull requests" for Cygnus-Blue Flames if you want.
-
Can you add a dragon64 to the Cygnus-Blue Flames ?
-
@folly
sure! -
Oh I forgot coco2 and coco3.
While your busy can you also take a look at them ?
I think both aren't in the theme also. -

In the theme list, we have trs-80. I thought it was a coco2. My mistake, it's different
-
Indeed it's also tandy but quite different.
Don't know exactly either what the difference is though, I have to investigate too.On some webpages of color computer they refer to trs-80 but the software of the color-computer doesn't work on the trs-80.
Edit :
Here is everything explained :

Coco 2 , coco 3 and Dragon 64 are now on GitHub : cygnus-blue-flames
-
Thanks for adding these 👍
Looks very nice, especially the coco2 !
Btw.
There are a lot more that should be added looking at the directories.
But I don's want to overflow you with work ;-).
Perhaps I can do one or two.I Saw that the theme for fmtmarty is called fmtowns_cd.
Can you make a duplicate of that and make a directory fmtmarty ?
Then it is also compatible with the system-driver-name. -
@folly
I also changed Dragon 32 logo -

I'm gonna change the name
-
Ok, that's perfect.
Don't know why it was called fmtowns_cd.
Had it something to do with the Valerino scripts ? -
@folly
In mame 0.233, in the hash folder FMMarty = fmtowns_cd.xml. That's why I have use this name. It fit with the Basename.
I made the change. -
Aha, I get it.
-
@dteam Do you have a Dragon 64 logo? I just finished a Dragon by Tano logo...
I don't know if using the Dragon 64 is the way to go. Looks like many of the games out there are NTSC, which is the Tano version.
-
That's a nice logo, you made.
But is there a possibility to make it more universal for more dragon64's ?
I think you should also include the 64 part.The trouble is more system drivers will use the RetroPie name dragon64 not only the Tano.
Do you agree ? -

@jamrom2 Unfortunately, the outline of the Dragon 64 logo is not perfect on a dark background. Are you able to improve it?
The real one is like this:
Note: finally, I used the last one for the theme -
@dteam sure. I'll look at it. What font did you use? Or is it pulled from a graphic?
-
@folly yes. Looks like we can have both! Lol.

@jamrom2 said in Request for artists working on themes - needs for (lr-mess/MAME) additions:
What font did you use?
For dragon , it's from an image. You can use WhatTheFont! webside to found a font on a picture
Seems to be Helvetica-Black or similar (maybe not for "R")
-
I am trying to do the fmtowns theme.
But indeed the outlines are always an issue.Hoping to find a fast way of cutting out the desired things so you won't see a white rough edge.
I am now trying the scissors option in gimp to cut out the computer with a smooth edge.
