Flat Theme

I found a website called freesound.org and picked a space-like sound :D

@Nismo I didn't how to add that system switching sound, so I've added it to my theme now. Thanks!!

Nismo

@robertybob No problem mate, tell me if it works on your rpi because I have no rpi to test, but for sure it will work on windows if you use the ES version with video support.

Gamelist sound will work for sure, I mean system sound.

@herb_fargus @lilbud I have found an error in the code of your main flat.xml file. Maybe that's because your theme it's broken.

Problem is <view name="video"> and </view> tags are missing:

<feature supported="video">
		
	  <image name="md_marquee">
			<origin>0 0</origin>
			<pos>0.800 0.01</pos>
			<maxSize>0.19 0.10</maxSize>
	  </image>
	  
	  <video name="md_video">
			<pos>0.254 0.202</pos>
			<origin>0 0</origin>
			<size>0.185 0.327</size>
			<delay>0.0</delay>
			<default>./assets/static.mp4</default>
			<showSnapshotNoVideo>false</showSnapshotNoVideo>
			<showSnapshotDelay>false</showSnapshotDelay>
	  </video>
	  
	</feature>

</theme>

@herb_fargus can you make this changes to github and test it please?, (I don't know how to use github), change the code above for this one:

<feature supported="video">

    <view name="video">	
	  <image name="md_marquee">
			<origin>0 0</origin>
			<pos>0.800 0.01</pos>
			<maxSize>0.19 0.10</maxSize>
	  </image>
	  
	  <video name="md_video">
			<pos>0.254 0.202</pos>
			<origin>0 0</origin>
			<size>0.185 0.327</size>
			<delay>0.0</delay>
			<default>./assets/static.mp4</default>
			<showSnapshotNoVideo>false</showSnapshotNoVideo>
			<showSnapshotDelay>false</showSnapshotDelay>
	  </video>
	  
	</view>
   </feature>
</theme>

I hope this helps. Regards.

@Nismo @lilbud

I think I've corrected it(?)

https://github.com/lilbud/es-theme-flat/pull/4

Nismo

@robertybob I think my code it's ok now.

lilbud

For sounds, which would be better?

http://rcptones.com/dev_tones/tones/digi_plink.wav

or

http://rcptones.com/dev_tones/tones/click_04.wav

Nismo

@lilbud I like both of them, for me I think the number 2 it's better.

robertybob

@Nismo Herb edited my space.xml the same way :)

Nismo

@robertybob Ok no problem then, now we only need somebody to test if it's fixed XD. Thanks.

Nismo

@robertybob It's the system sound working in your Rpi?

herb_fargus

@robertybob don't know if I did it right though ;) anyways I'll look at all this when I get time after work and all that, but if someone fixes / tests before me then that's great too. Saves me the trouble ;)

Nismo

@herb_fargus I think the right way it's this:

<feature supported="video">

   <view name="video">	
   </view>

</feature>

This way have sense...

I'm not able to test until tomorrow night, but I'll report back then :)

sergioad

@Nismo could you help @lilbud to add the option to enable optional scrolling sounds to his theme?

Nismo

@sergioad Read a few posts ago, I tell him the code, and he was looking for a good sound, so the sound support will be added soon.

sergioad

@Nismo @lilbud the sounds should be optional for people who is more visual and dislikes sounds, maybe the sounds could be similar to the new xarbon sounds, clean earcandy and modern 😀

lilbud

@sergioad The only way they can be optional is through editing the xml file. I am going to use this sound: http://rcptones.com/dev_tones/tones/click_04.wav

sergioad

@lilbud oh man I LOVE THAT SOUND, it is gorgeous and earcandy

The 'system sound' on your theme and mine is not working in the latest Windows builds although it does work on the one by fieldofcows. I'm going to assume it therefore won't work on a Pi with the latest ES :(

@lilbud fyi, videos now support <maxSize> like images in case you want to use it.
