Pixel Theme

jdrassa

@fieldofcows Thanks for taking a look at it. Most of the logic came from ImageComponent.

Ok, I can't find any other channel to tell this : Hello @Rookervik , I used part of your work to the header of my project on Hackaday.io. You can see here https://hackaday.io/project/20009-raspberry-pi-game-pad-enclosure-case

Let me know if it's ok for you or not, I made a point to tell you before you discover it.

Thanks, and great fr***g job (french people don't care about bad words).

@bumpshoveit That looks fine to me. More like your typical background image than using the art as part of your project. So I ok it.

@Rookervik i installed this a version or two ago and didn't see Doom so I made images for it I thought you'd like. Feel free to do with as you please.

Couldn't find a way to direct message you these so I'm sorry if links aren't ok.
I didn't include xml file as all that's changed is red background color.

@Rookervik could I upgrade my pixel theme with not losing the sounds I added?

sergioad

By the way, I think I will delete all my installed themes only keeping pixel and Carbon as my backup theme due the fact that I am only using the pixel theme, pixel splashscreen and pixel runcomands

@Rookervik Could you please make an icon for the joystick selection script with this theme?

Here is a link to the script:

can we get a pc slide for dosbox? LOVE THIS THEME!!!

Rookervik

@Swagman89 wtf is a pc slide?

mattrixk

@Rookervik I'm guessing they mean the PC folder, with the MSDOS logo, but if I'm remembering correctly, Pixel already has this.

Swagman89

Yeah that's exactly what I meant. Also I realized I was using the metapixel theme that had ripped you off :/...... so I just swapped to the real pixel theme and boom done.

Reroshaggy

@backstander for the pixel theme to stay within theme. However I went ahead and put one together. The logo I made, the background I got from Google images. Both were done to theme as pixel art.

@Swagman89 I prefer to think of it as "inspired by" Pixel hehe.

Basically I wanted to use the Pixel theme, but at the time it didn't display any metadata, and I wanted it, so I made my own version of Pixel with metadata. I custom made all the borders and half the backgrounds. Granted I used Rook's awesome console and logo artwork, but I also asked permission before doing so.

However, I'm also lazy, so I only made folders for the systems that I would use. As such, there are many missing.

@Rookervik
I love this theme but since I'm using Steve's multibootpi setup I have an entry for Raspbian alongside all of my other consoles but instead of a flashy retro logo and background its just the word raspbian all lowercase with a solid white background and it's a real buzzkill. I was wondering if you could whip up a logo really quickly, I would myself but I don't know how to edit the images or the theme itself in emulationstation :/

mattrixk

@coreoptic The simplest option would be to duplicate one of the existing folders and rename it to "raspbian". You'll then need to change the console and logo images to match the folder name.

I found this one with a 5 second Google search:

You can use an online image editor to cut it apart and use either logo for the console image, and use the text for the logo image. Granted the won't be all awesome and pixely like Rook's stuff, but it's better than a while screen with black text.

Will there be a Famicom Disk System or a Super Famicom set in the near future?

Rookervik

@ClarkNova I'm not sure what you mean by "set," but there are themes for Famicom Disk System and Super Famicom in the pixel theme. You just need to direct your SNES to load the "sfc" theme. Famicom Disk System is already set up to load "fds."
