Pixel Theme

[MrJordaaany]

@rookervik Hey, all those reasons are more than fair enough. Thanks for the reply. Look forward to the future updates.

Don't get confused now man. I am desperate and have one think that might sound a little bit strange. My thing has nothing to do with this forum or this topic you are talking here.

I saw you are registered to Attract Mode -forum. Someone who is registered there needs to create a new thread about registering new accounts. What I'm talking about:

https://www.reddit.com/r/attractmode/comments/6m6zft/registering_on_the_forumsite_broken/

https://github.com/mickelson/attract/issues/366

Could you please make new thread about this? The registering verification has been broken for 1 month now...

@aqery hi there, im already create a new thread in the forum about this problem, hope some mod or Raygun (the admin) read it. Thanks

ti-99 logo is trs-80.
Thought you could take a look at that. I have re-installed theme / updated it... went to github etc. they all have the same problem of showing trs-80 and not ti-99.
Cheers.

[Rookervik]

@anunna777 Thank you for catching this. I have replaced the logo and synced up Pixel on github. Clicking the icon (on github) still shows the incorrect logo, but looking at the commit shows that the old logo was deleted and correct logo added. Let me know if this is not the case.

[anunna777]

@rookervik Pixel is fine with an update now through retropie setup but Pixel-Metadata (which is what I use) still has trs-80 unfortunately after update.
Cheers.

[anunna777]

I have used the ti-99 logo from pixel theme (copied png into pixel-metadata theme folder) so it looks right now but obviously an update or install for others will still have the trs-80 logo.
Also noticed it looks 2D like the old version of the theme (without highlight or shadow etc.)... so wondering if it's the right one?
If it is that's ok.
Anyway love the theme (only one that has all the systems I have in RetroPie).

[Rookervik]

@anunna777 Ah yeah I didn't update pixel metadata. Just the default theme.

[sergioad]

@rookervik could you add favorites and all games support?

[Rookervik]

@sergioad I don't have access to these features to test them right now. Nor do I know how to implement them. Are they "systems?" If so, I can make system logos for them. That's not hard.

[meleu]

@rookervik just create new "systems" theme folder/files and name it as:

• auto-allgames for all games
• auto-lastplayed for the recently played games
• auto-favorites for the favorites

Look the @lipebello 's Retrorama repo as an example:

I use pixel as my sole and definitive theme on my raspi1 and TBH I don't care about video preview on my raspi1. But I would love to have these "virtual systems" (recent and favorites) on pixel.

Thanks for all your art, mate!

i'm using these as placeholder images for auto-lastplayed until the theme is updated (i love the pixel-metadata theme):
console.png:

logo.png:

looks pretty OK against a background color of #32457C

i searched google for "isometric delorian", and ripped the sprite from that with gimp. the logo is based on the Back to the future 2002 Font, also made in gimp. feel free to use them if you want. i have an auto-favorites set in the works, and one for a custom collection "Beaten" for all the games i've completed if anyone's interested

[chipsnblip]

here's what i'm using for auto-favorites:
console:

logo:

can't really decide on a background color for this set, so for now it's #d27d2c

the console image is a light modification of Gold Treasure icons by Clint Bellanger, and the logo is based on the BlackChancery font.

[Rookervik]

Oh I forgot to make these. Haha. Full-time work has slaughtered my free time. I basically just sleep on my days off. I'll try to get on this.

[Rookervik]

I promise I haven't completely forgot! Work is still consuming all my time until we can get a few more people hired.

Messing with Favorites right now. I haven't looked at anyone elses' so I hope no one has done one that looks just like it.

Obviously not finished. Just trying things out.

[Rookervik]

Still needs some tweaking.

[steeeb]

Looking forward to when the favourites icon/system screen is done as I'm using the functionality currently but with it looking horrid :P

[sergioad]

Me too, Pixel is my favorite theme along with the Famicom mini, Retrorama and the in work SFC mini theme, I really love pixel art and hand drawn themes, I also like modern flat themes but those while nice looking and uniform lacks the charm and nostalgy that hand drawn and the pixel art has

[Rookervik]

Been working 40+ hours a week for 2 months now. When I get home I have no energy to do anything. Sorry for updating so seldomly.

I have, ever so slowly, been working on adding collections to pixel. I haven't had time to browse the forums so I am not sure what everyone else is doing. I just did a folder. Hopefully it doesn't look like someone elses' artwork.

But now I'm having trouble choosing a font and going with it. While I can pixel, I'm not the greatest designer. LOL.

I'll keep working on it. If I could find a font I liked, and could use it on all 3 of the collection systems, I could finish this up pretty quickly.

Also have to work on Luminous.

Again, sorry for the lack of updates. Blame stupid work. Work sucks. But at least I make plenty to help buy groceries, pay bills, and help around the house. :D

@rookervik i love the second font/colouring!
