Pixel Theme

[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

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!

[ruckage]

@rookervik
I agree with @dankcushions , that second font looks great.

Now we are three!

Four

[Rookervik]

Well that makes it fairly easy to decide. LOL. Might try to reduce the pixel dpi a little one it (make the image bigger but still display the same size on the screen) to give it some better resolution. I'll fiddle with it tonight after Yahtzee. I work the afternoon shift.

I prefer the 3rd one :P

[sergioad]

@hiulit That one is great too

[Rookervik]

@sergioad Haha, 3rd one doesn't have any coloring... it was just the outline for the next attempt at a logo.

[hiulit]

@rookervik I meant the one that looks from the 80's, like OutRun :)

[Rookervik]

Can change folder colors. Not sure what to do for "All". Other than maybe an infinity symbol, or some sort of dual box with the boxes having a check mark in them.

[sergioad]

@rookervik Maybe a folder with a list view symbol to contrast with Carbon's icon virw controller?

[Rookervik]

Thought maybe a more stylized folder would look nicer.

[ruckage]

@rookervik
Personally I prefer the original folder design though both do look good.
Have you come up with an 'All Games' icon yet? I also found that the most difficult to think of an icon for.

[Rookervik]

@ruckage Working with this so far. Fiddling with colors and stuff.

[ruckage]

@rookervik
That symbol works perfectly.

Just a quick note on your 'Last Played' icon. Shouldn't the arrow be going anti-clockwise? Otherwise you're implying the future where as you want to imply the past.

[Rookervik]

@ruckage YOU AND YOUR LOGIC!!! SHUSH YOUR MOUTH! XD
