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!

@Nismo thank you

lilbud

@Nismo I changed the height of the marquee

Nismo

@lilbud Yes I told you that you need to modify that, just because I improved your theme for video in a few minutes and I didn't want to spend time optimizing the size of marquees.

How about the marquees on top of some system logos like nes? How are you planning to solve that?

lilbud

@Nismo I really don't know, I don't use video or marquees. I might just remove marquees. Since they can vary so wildly in size, I have to watch where I place them.

Nismo

@lilbud See my tips on the post above, also I changed <size> for <maxSize> for marquees in your flat.xml that way you can adjust the maximum for a wheel art to not override anything.

Also remove them it's a good idea too, because I think wheels broke a bit the flat style of the theme.

Roxsteady

Just FYI @greekmanx When you swap the images from Megadrive to Genesis, and PCEngine to TB16, the PCEngine/TB16 logo breaks but the Genesis logo is fixed. So I swapped back.

Roxsteady

Are you guys making changes via the github link? Just so to be sure I download the latest theme as we go along.

lilbud

@Roxsteady I believe @greekmanx is making the changes in his local copy, not to the GitHub. Not sure

greekmanx

I honestly don't know how to make changes to github I am new to this and the only change I made was fix the pc engine to say hudson instead of nintendo.

Roxsteady

@greekmanx How did you get the title logo to show at the top right for each game?

@greekmanx let me know if you need help making a pull request on Github. The basic gist is to fork his repo https://github.com/lilbud/es-theme-flat and then make your changes to your fork. You can then send a pull request to his repo so that the changes are updated to the master.

greekmanx

@Roxsteady I didn't do anything just installed theme only change I made is edit the theme.xml in pcengine to say hudson instead of nintendo.
