Pixel Theme

[Quackwalks]

@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.

[Rookervik]

@quackwalks I was gonna mail it to whoever wanted to test it. Before I send it to the main download and potentially ruin everyones' pixel. LOL

[Rookervik]

@quackwalks Ah, the spacing was added to make the game selection bar fit in the background. You don't like how the games are spaced further now?

[Rookervik]

Screenshot with a video playing. Metadata shown. Everything seems to be working. Systems screen is the same as Pixel. Carousel moved and art repositioned.

Thanks for all the hard work, great theme!

@rookervik In my opinion it's more important to show a good number of games per page than having them match the background. On my 1080p TV, towards the bottom, the list becomes unaligned with the background anyway. But hey, I'm just one user.

[Rookervik]

@quackwalks Nah, I also am a little put-off by not showing as many titles on the gamelist. I'm going to look into this and see about fixing it up.

[Rookervik]

If I don't find any errors in Pixel Metadata I will update the github repo so everyone can try it out and potentially break their systems. LOL.

In other news... coming up with a selector graphic is hard... especially since adding a color to the bar colors the entire bar.

[RetroNESguy]

@Rookervik can you just have the text change colors for the highlighted game?

[Rookervik]

@retronesguy Yeah, that's all it typically does. Easiest method.

[RetroNESguy]

@rookervik then I would just leave it that way, without the spacing so more games are listed.

I agree with this, I like the spacing before the update. Anyways keep up the hard work rook :)

[Rookervik]

Ok Pixel Metadata is live. Go grab it. I think I got the font spacing the same as the old Pixel Metadata. Doesn't look as good lining up but hey, I don't use this :P

@rookervik Thanks man. I love the pixel theme. Both the normal and meta version work really well on my CRT. Even in 240p mode.

[Rookervik]

@mrjordaaany Got Pixel TFT somewhere. Good for 320x240 screens :D

[Quackwalks]

@rookervik I just updated and the Pixel-Metadata theme looks exactly the same as Pixel, meaning there's no meta data. Whoops!

[MrJordaaany]

@rookervik Yeah I enjoy that theme too but still like the layout of regular pixel and meta :D

Cheers

[MrJordaaany]

@rookervik Hmmm unless I m mistaken, pixel metadata looks the same as pixel now. As in, no meta data is being displayed anymore :( I just ran the update.

[Rookervik]

@mrjordaaany Mmm, happy birthday! Hahaha I was going to ask if videos were working but looks like there are other things to worry about. Haha.

[Rookervik]

@mrjordaaany What 'layout' are you talking about? The system select screen? Otherwise there are no changes that have been made. I've been wanting that ugly white bar gone for years. LOL.
