Flat Theme

[lilbud]

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

That looks cool, but the size and font of the "Games Available" section make it look awkward.

[lilbud]

@thedeathstar so, would it be better if it wasn't there? or just different font?

[Keigan]

@lilbud the font for games available needs to be way smaller. It shouldn't be the focal point, it should just be a small accent, providing a bit of information.

The width of 17 Games Available should be no wider than the word SYSTEM.

[lilbud]

@Keigan how about something like this?

[thedeathstar]

@lilbud Yeah, that looks a lot better. There's something about the bigger spacing between the numbers than between letters that made it look to me like that line was shifted right of the center. I think the smaller size fixes that.

[Keigan]

@lilbud better!

Something still seems a bit off, I think I would us a condensed font and force caps, but that is just my preference.

A or B?

@lilbud

Just kidding! I like the red "Nintendo" but I would also like the white "Entertainment System" below it.

Hi, could you add a steam folder like other themes have?

Thank you!

[lilbud]

@kbronctjr Steam has been added

What does everyone think the system select background should be? When trying the new carousel, the colors don't end up looking that good.

That SMB one looks good but are you going to use a different background for each system?

[lilbud]

@backstander yeah, i'm planning on using the backgrounds from the simple theme. Unless someone has an idea that could work for every single system

Personal opinion for the flat look, limit your colours, no photos.

Keep it clean and minimalistic, even on the select screen.

Tone the vibrance down on some of the colours (i.e Super Nintendo red on the select screen, even all 4 colours from the logo).

I would likely change the font size to a bit smaller, but it's clean so that's just me being picky.
