lilbud

@lilbud sweet

@Nismo I did this and still no image I am suppose to edit the flat.xml right? edit nvm I assume it has to do with motionblue gameslists because it doesn't save my scrapes either so all good.

Nismo

@lilbud I think you need to raise the delay of video a bit for a rpi.

This is what I'll use in my next version of my theme:

<video name="md_video">
   <delay>0.5</delay>

I hope this helps.

@greekmanx I'll take a look at that when I have time.

lilbud

@Nismo Where do you think the marquee would work best? Other than where it is now.

Kischa

@lilbud I vote for it to be straight on top over the roms names.

Great Theme Lilbud! 👌

Nismo

@lilbud I think it's ok where marquees are, top right, but centered inside the white zone.

The problem is some systems with large names like "Nintendo entertainment system" .

Another option it's to move down a bit metada info, and place marquees inside the metadata box, on top of "rating". There's free space in bottom side of metadata box, just put that free space on top and marquee there. (I think this could be the best).

Or maybe just place the marquees out of the screen , that way you avoid to show the marquees art on your theme even if it exist.

so after using this theme more I vote keep it where it is. and my only issue so far is on Sega Genesis the top left logo says nintendo and my TG16 is broke but that might be my gamelist. and then the dark theme and I am set. This is deff my new daily drive theme.

so I switched my tg16 back to pcengine and my genesis back to megadrive and they work now except pcengine is blue in carasoule like sega but says nintendo in top left logo so confused there.

lilbud

@greekmanx You have to change the tags in the theme.xml.

Should be something like this

<image>./../Nintendo.png</image>
change it to this
<image>./../Sega.png</image>

I'll fix the theme later

lilbud

Dark theme is updated with video support

greekmanx

lilbud

@greekmanx If you want, submit a pull request to the repository

greekmanx

so all is good now got dark mode and video is working and I fixed the logo in pcengine so all good. I am happy now just need to add more roms to my image and get over the pcengine and megadrive names and I will be all set with my image.

Has anyone tested this theme (without video) on a Pi Zero? Curious if anyone has seen issues with this theme on a Pi Zero. This theme is just beautiful and I would love to use it on my Pi cart.

Nismo

@Roxsteady I doubt you can have issues with this theme in a pi zero (if you don't use videos), it's a very light theme.

It's not so difficult to install it and try...

Roxsteady

Thanks, @Nismo I'll likely backup my image and then try it. For the images, does is split those scraper 3 part images and uses them or do you have to add new images for your games? Also, how is the installation done? I m assuming you don't go through the theme options in ES(?) or do you?

Thanks guys!
