@TMNTturtlguy ah cheers, I'm currently using a "test build" I assume that'll be overwritten by the official release?

@__Scannigan__ I bet you are using the video screen saver with OMX player by @fieldofcows with the modifications made by @pjft . I am using that as well and have been in conversations with @pjft about it. He is working on some other great projectes and pretty busy, and it is to much work form them to keep updating every ES release with their modifications. My hope is that someday soon they will try to get this implemented into the main ES build. It is a great addition and what is nice is that you have the option to turn the OMX player on and off and you don't need to use the video screensaver if you don't want to. It seems like a pretty good addition. Anyways, here is a thread from @pjft regarding updating their work: Link I have similar issues with a theme that i am just about done working on. My solution was to go get another SD card and duplicate my build and then update to the new ES. I now have identical builds, but one has the screensaver ES, the other is up to date with the standard releases. The new ES update does have a pretty big impact on some of the things i have been working on. See this thread: New Comic Book Theme

Edit: To answer your original question, yes, when you update to the new ES to use the new theme tools, you will lose all the screen saver and omx player capabilities.

@TMNTturtlguy Spot on mate, yeah would be a shame to lose such a good feature. There's so many things people are working on at the moment, this last few months has seen so many updates and modifications put out there, and I share your thoughts, I'm sure pjft will get it merged eventually, I'm just an impatient sod :) Just one more thought, does the most recent ES release include the screensaver without pjfts modifications?

TMNTturtlguy

@__Scannigan__ No, there is not screensaver option at this time. Non of OMX player or screensaver work from @fieldofcows or the modifications by @pjft are available.

@syhles said in Carousel theming help (left align):

<carousel name = "systemcarousel">
<type>vertical</type>

Where does that go? Just anywhere in the theme.xml file or under a specific view?

@linkreincarnate that would go under the system view

@alphatoanant Thanks

@alphatoanant I just need to lose the horizontal bar that holds the number of games for each system. How do i get rid of that anyway? I don't see it on other vertical themes.

alphatoanant

@linkreincarnate I haven’t tried that in one of my themes yet but typically to hide something in a theme you can position it off screen.

In system view try this to see if it works...

If not I can check tonight when I am back at a computer.

Yup that works perfect. I'll post a preview of the themes I've made with your guy's help later today.
