Pixel Theme

Thought maybe a more stylized folder would look nicer.

@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

it reminded arduino symbol, but I loved it anyway!

[Rookervik]

@meleu Ugh, that's strikingly similar. I might have to try something else.

[ruckage]

@rookervik
It is very similar but I wouldn't worry too much. It's used in a different context and only people who use Arduino are likely to notice. I knew the Arduino logo but I still didn't notice the similarity before @meleu posted the comparison, I just thought what a clever idea it was to use the infinity symbol to represent a controller.

how about a raspberry pi, or an SD card/USB drive? i was making a pixel version of the pi but gave up because i'm a lousy artist:

you're welcome to it

By far the best theme in my opinion. I was just wondering if there might be video support coming this year? I understand all the time and sweat you have put into this and we are extremely appreciative.

I noticed some how someone did it, but I don't thinks it's your version:

Thanks

@Rookervik did you saw what I has to say to you un the luminous theme's tread?

[Rookervik]

@sergioad I did, I haven't had time to run over and check it. I work late today so I will try to check it before I go in.

[Rookervik]

Not so sure about the tab colors. But that's what I have so far.

[Rookervik]

@g0nz0uk The video support, when I was adding it, was buggy and didn't have layers support. The pixel2 theme supports videos now. I just haven't fixed the errors on the carousel. Some logos appear FAR larger than they are supposed to and I'm not sure how to fix them right now.

I am getting help with Luminous right now to get folder support in. I just don't have the time anymore. I'll see what I can do about Pixel1. I was supposed to re-draw all of the pixel systems but that's not going to happen with work. I am almost done with the folder artwork though. I just need to finalize colors and create logo art.

I will make me a TO-DO list and add all of this to it. I've been away far too long. :D

Is there any chance you could add 5:4 support for Pixel Metadata or under detail? The "Choose" part is blocked out on a 5:4 monitor.

[Rookervik]

@sgtjimmyrustles I have no idea. I don't have a 5:4 monitor. I can try to launch ES in a resolution like that and fix it. That's not a typical aspect ratio, and will require a complete fork of pixel.

@Rookervik Yeah, that's not really practical to do just for me. If there were a lot more people, different story. Ah well.

Did you try the suggestion I gave you the other day regarding forcing the pi to output a 4:3 resolution such as 1024x768? Your monitor should be able to display that and will probably have options to either stretch the images or add black bars. 5:4 isn't at all common these days so I think that would be your best option.
What is the make and model of your monitor?

Actually @ruckage I did, and while the HannsG says it supports the 4:3 resolution, it wouldn't even turn on when I had it set after modifying the boot.cfg file. I had to FTP into it and change back the boot.cfg to get it working again. And I followed instructions there to the letter with hdmi group and such. I honestly thought I had responded back to you saying that it hadn't worked. My apologies.

The one thing about the Pixel Theme is that if I don't really use the metadata, it's fine.

[Rookervik]

@sgtjimmyrustles It's possible to make some changes to a single file in the theme and get a change that covers all systems. You'd just need to replace the pixel.xml file. I'll look into what would be required to fix that problem.

Oh, one thing... what resolution is native for your monitor?
