Pixel Theme
-
@sonicsheppard As far as I recall I didn't have video previews working on previous versions. Perhaps you were using a modded version of the theme? I only have a couple of videos to test with so I will take a look at it and see. But as I didn't intend videos to be working in the past, I'm not sure how to get this to look like it "did" in your case.
-
@rookervik I think you're right! I do seem to rememeber trying a custom one that said it had video enabled a few weeks back just to see what it looked like. I obviously forgot all about it. Sorry about that.
-
@kneetie Mmm, let's see.
The code for enabling the sound is in the
pixel.xml:<!--<scrollSound>./art/flipper.wav</scrollSound>-->Change it to :
<scrollSound>./art/flipper.wav</scrollSound>But you need to put a
flipper.wavinto theartfolder. Whatever sound you want to use. There is not a sound effect included with the theme right now. -
@rookervik thanks i went ahead and did it over again only on the first instance of that line of code i found and it worked!
-
@rookervik Man, IT IS AMAZING, for me Pixel + old carbon sounds + Pixel Retropie menu icons + Pixel splash screen + Pixel launching images is the way to go, just LOVE it and I can not stop to scream about that
-
@sergioad I have sort of made a complete package. Haha. I wanted my retropie looking retro. :D
-
@rookervik Are you going to also be updating pixel-metadata anytime soon? I like the updates but i needs muh metadatas!
I am glad you keep updating this theme, thank you! -
@madmodder123 Yeah I'm going to take a little break before I get on metadata. Tho it shouldn't be hard. Hopefully I will just need to edit the pixel.xml for meta data version. We'll see. But I want a small break. Took me 6 hours on Sunday to do all the xmls. Such a drag. Haha.
-
@rookervik Indeed, retro is the way to go my friend :) enjoying it

Hello @Rookervik !
I'm working on fun facts splashscreens and I was using your theme as an example and while trying to parsepixel.xmlwithxmlstarletI kept getting and error telling me that that xml was malformed.
Looking into it, I found a couple of comments that have one extra dash-, these ones:<!--- This will enable Player Count under the screenshot ---> <!---<pos>0.686 0.573</pos>--->and
<!--- This will enable Player Count under the screenshot.---> <!---<pos>0.830 0.567</pos>--->I removed them and now it's working! :D
Just wanted to let you know, because it might affect other projects usingxmlstarletto parse themes. -
@hiulit I think Rook is aware of it:

@meleu @Rookervik whoops, sorry! Should have checked for issues in the repo before :P
My little contributions to the RetroPie project:
-
@hiulit Yeah I'm aware and I haven't updated the theme on purpose. LOL. Tho if I ever intend to use meleu's awesome splashscreen maker, I might fix it. But the reason I didn't fix it is exactly because of the splash screen maker :D Hahaha
-
@rookervik Why wouldn't you want @meleu 's splashscreen maker to use your theme? :O

@hiulit Have you ever heard of the Luddite movement? :D

@meleu x_D

Ok, starting to work on Pixel with Metadata. (gotta go make me some gamelists so I can even see the crap :P )
Anything you guys want fixed up or changed? Now's the time to ask. I don't use this theme so I don't care how it looks. Haha.
-
I think it's all working. I don't have gamelists to test. I can make a couple but I didn't move any positions of text.
Videos are in. And I think everything from Pixel-regular. Anyone wanna test it?
-
@rookervik The fancy carousal at the bottom is about the only thing I would like to see in the Pixel metadata update. I'm sorry to say, I'm not a fan of the spaced out game list in Pixel. I appreciate your hard work anyway.
-
@rookervik Should I be able to update it through updating retropie setup then updating the theme in es-themes? I tried and no update is available.
