Flat Theme

[robertybob]

@FlyingTomahawk Game scroll sounds work fine, but the sound I'm talking about hasn't been pushed to the main branch yet.

I didn't know about the existence of a launching sound , so thanks :D

Does anyone else see the box art growing slightly when you scroll?

[A Former User]

No, I do not.

Also, will you add Kodi to this theme?

[lilbud]

@itsnitro I'll get to it later, I'll be out for most of the day.

@lilbud fyi, the carousel theme changes have landed, but your theme is using an older version of the theme xml and will probably be broken.

You currently have:

  <infobar name="infobar">
      <color>dddddd00</color>
      <fontColor>000000ff</fontColor>
      <fontPath></fontPath>
      <fontSize>0.035</fontSize>
    </infobar>

You will want to change it to:

  <text name="systemInfo">
      <backgroundColor>dddddd00</backgroundColor>
      <color>000000ff</color>
      <fontPath></fontPath>
      <fontSize>0.035</fontSize>
    </text>

I'll add Kodi and the Carousel changes in a little bit. The sound will be added too.

@lilbud cool, thank you very, very much 😀

@lilbud Is there a way of changing the background to the console itself?

[lilbud]

@itsnitro just add the background image to the system folders and change the path in the .xml

[A Former User]

Thanks!
What I'm thinking of doing is modifying this theme so that the background looks kinda like this. It's like a flat-type theme thing.
@Rookervik has made a bunch of these, and I'm gonna try and contact him to see if he can make more. (I don't want to rush him though.)

[lilbud]

@itsnitro if you need to contact him, might want to jump on the retropie irc channel

[sergioad]

@itsnitro Or maybe the actual flat colors plus a flat or even material design representation of the system

[lilbud]

@sergioad @itsnitro Just do whatever you want, I'm done with this theme until gridview is official.

[sergioad]

@lilbud I will not do anything, I love it as it is

[herb_fargus]

@itsnitro I wouldn't hold your breath on that. He's been busy with work, might be faster for you to check out some Photoshop/gimp/inkscape tutorials on YouTube ;)

[A Former User]

@herb_fargus Alright, I might give this a shot.
It's gonna be harder though with my program, Paint.net.

@lilbud Also, the IRC chat? How do I get into there?

There's nobody on.

Started to think of ideas for the carousel, I had this one as I was walking home from school. I think it looks nice.
