@ruckage Awesome work. Was my script in the 4:3 port thread any help or did you have to manually modify each background?

Hi. I'd actually already started planning this before you posted your topic (why I said it may be arriving sooner than expected) . As I hinted at in your thread none of the backgrounds have been modified at all, it's entirely done through the XML itself (if you look in the theme directory you will see there is still only 1 background for each system/gamelist). This way any new systems I add will also just work in 4x3 mode which saves having to maintain several different versions.

@ruckage this is beautiful! Next time we get together i will buy you a round :)

It's deal :D, though I'll buy you a round back as I think you've been busier on your theme than I have.

@ruckage @TMNTturtlguy I dont know where you guys are from. I am in LA. Are you anywhere near?

And I've just found a bug - typical, I thought I'd checked so carefully.
Vectrex and Virtual boy display incorrectly in 4x3 mode. No other systems are affected. I'll fix those systems and issue an update shortly.

I'm in the UK. I'd have a long way to come and get that drink from @TMNTturtlguy as I think he lives in the US as well :)

@ruckage Also in the resolutions guide file

Find the following line:

	<include>./layouts/1920x1080.xml.xml</include>
	
Change 1920x1080 to your desired resolution (valid options are 1920x1080, 1280x720, 1440x1080, 1280x960, 1024x768, 800x600, 640x480, 320x240)

The twice xml is incorrect 1920x1080.xml.xml

Thanks, silly typo. I'll correct it.

Fixed Vectrex and Virtual Boy.
Corrected the typo in the ## RESOLUTION AND LAYOUTS GUIDE ##.txt

That latest update is for the "NES" theme only?

@ruckage Thank you so much for the 4:3 update, my question is, is there any chance you can create a new layout option for 4:3 that does not add the ratings, publisher, etc.... So that the on the left only the box art is shown?

Hex

@skj what purpose does that serve?

TMNTturtlguy

@skj if you want something that custom, I suggest you try to figure out how to modify the theme yourself and adjust it how you want it. The changes you have requested do not benefit the theme and add a lot of work and unnesecary maintence issue for @ruckage

excellent work @ruckage!

one tiny issue i noticed: when scrolling through a gamelist, i'm seeing the box art/screenshots shift ~1 pixel to the right. you can actually see them move. not sure if this a theme thing or an ES thing.

i'm at 1080p

I would like to send him some rupees to encourage him to release that Neo Geo X theme. :-)

Yep, +1 here too.
That NeoGeo/Capcom theme is looking awesome.

Not going to happen, there is only so much I can do, I can't create custom layouts for everyone - I think I already offer plenty of options to fit most peoples needs as it is.

It may be an ES issue but I'll check. I imagine it has to do with scaling (are the images different sizes?) but it's possible my overly precise values are adding to it. I'll look into it and see if it's anything I can remedy.
