New Comic Book Theme!

[smartgenes]

@Clyde @Lolonois I've just noticed that if you switch to another console and back, then the scrolling text box doesn't reset - it continues from where it last was. So you can read the rest of the text. So emulationstation is "seeing" all the text but arbitrarily stops it after some count. So it should be changeable somehow.

Any idea what is controlling the box's line limit? I can't see why it would need any limit at all.

Hmm. No. But you can try Ctrl-t when EmulationStation is started with the --debug flag. Maybe it shows a hint why the bounding text box does not show all of the text.

I don't assume it is related to this issue FYI.

Anybody got a "PC-FX" logo?

So lately I've been loving this theme and I've been making stuff but I can't make my own text? I know you can use PS but I don't have it so is there any way to make it in Paint.net?

[Sweetness]

I just finished making a switch theme for it I think it came out pretty nice!

The backround is low res because of the file limit too so.

Hi, I have a Retropie.

1. Can i put in a request for an Apple 2G theme/art?

2. I also have duplicate entries in my menu for sega genesis and the sega megadrive. I know they are the same -usa version and japan, but I'd like just the sega genesis menu and not the other. A way to do this?

Be well.

I'm still having problems with the stars on this theme matching one's rating.. Mine are all 5/5 filled up.

[3Draco]

@duglor are they red or silver? If everthing is silver it is not filled. Oh i think i have the same problem. I will look in to it maybe i can finde some.

[3Draco]

@duglor it ist not the right way but it is a fast dirty fix
opend the comic_book.xml and delet the <unfilledPath>./art/star_empty.png</unfilledPath>
as always make a backup of the file. If I have time i search for a better fix.

@duglor it looks like that the stars are normaly a outline and behind the outline it shows the full star. I think this is a global thing and it should not touched (i dident find it ;-)) but what you can do is copy my version of the emptystar to \themes\ComicBook_SE-Wheelart\art. And you need to undo the dirty workaround .

or this:

I also tryed this and it dosent worked for me->

@sergio_mikkos hahahahaha well... I fixed it
It was stupid simple to do.
I will update it to my fork, but it you want to do it manually, all you need to so is open the comic_book.xml in the text editor of your choice. (I use Notepad++) And edit the following:
From this:
<rating name="md_rating">
<pos>0.87 0.66</pos>
<size>0 0.038</size>
<filledPath>./_assets/star_filled.png</filledPath>
<unfilledPath>./_assets/star_empty.png</unfilledPath>
</rating>

To This:
<rating name="md_rating">
<pos>0.87 0.66</pos>
<size>0 0.038</size>
<unfilledPath>./_assets/star_empty.png</unfilledPath>
<filledPath>./_assets/star_filled.png</filledPath>
</rating>

What is happening is that when it is applying the images on the screen it first applies the star_filled.png then the star_empty.png, which causes the overlap. So the edit just changes the order of apply the empty star image first, then the filled one.

Where is the file where you edit this? I think a similar issue was solved with an overlapping "D" in "TIMES PLAYED"?
What I'd also really like to do is increase the amount of text available in the text box (the <desc> information) in emulation station and also decrease the scroll speed if possible.
