New Comic Book Theme!

meleu

@TMNTturtlguy option 3 is surely the one I'll choose when using your theme! ;-)

Thanks for your nice work man!

Cheers!

TMNTturtlguy

@meleu I will make option 3 standard!

I kind of like this one.....Made it for "Kids" system - I plan to throw a bunch of disney and sesame street games into one folder so my kids can easily find the games they like.....or more accurately, so my wife can easily find the games my kids like.

@TMNTturtlguy oh, I love that one for a "Kids" system indeed.

Can't wait for the 16:9 release. This looks so good !! Good work mate appreciate it.

TMNTturtlguy

@serotonin major storms rolled through our area and thousands of homes actually in the hundreds of thousand homes are without power! A wasted weekend, but progress has halted until power returns!

@TMNTturtlguy
That sucks, I hope you get your power back soon.

pjft

@TMNTturtlguy Hope you're all well, and that no serious damaged has been incurred in!

TMNTturtlguy

@pjft @ruckage thanks guys! Everyone is safe and no noticeable damage to our property. Trees and branches down but that is it. Going on 10 hrs without power.

ortsac

Good to know that you and family are safe. Wow, 10 hrs of no power, that is really some major storm. Stay safe hope that power will get restored soon!

@ortsac Just got a generator running, we have been informed that our power will be out until Wednesday night. Generator is big enough to run the refrigerator a few lights, charge our cell phones and laptop batteries. No internet except for our phone though, so I probably won't be able to get theme update for some time now.

@TMNTturtlguy you better learn how to photoshop on your phone. We demand more theme!! :) that really sucks bud. I do like the kids pic. And i love that it includes my 4 favorite ninjas.

pjft

@TMNTturtlguy Oh my, that's a big one then.

Just enjoy the basics and some family time, really. The theme can certainly wait - and you'll come out of it refreshed and with some new ideas! :)

I hope there is not too much damage besides the current?
@pjft as you managed to create a new logo because personally I do not follow the manipulation with illustrator.
I miss it "Lutro, Dos, C64, Cavestrory, ZX81

Wow, that's a long while to be without power. And I start to moan when power is out for a few hours. Do you often get power cuts like that due to storms or is it a rare occurrence?

TMNTturtlguy

@ruckage it is a pretty rare occurannce. Typically June and July we get a few good storms that knock over power lines or blow transformers. Most of the time they fix it in 4 hours or less. This was just a huge storm with damaging wind. Storm blew through in 10 minutes. Left 180,000 homes without power due to massive numbers of down trees and power lines.

Yikes! I hope it is all over!

Hi @TMNTturtlguy .

Hope things are going well!

Just wanted to give you a small heads up that the new developments are actually going nicely.

The names for the new system folders are, in the end, "all", "recent" and "favorites". Wanted to make sure you knew that before you release your next update, in case anything needs to change. :)

So far I've been using copies of your existing ones, and it's going well. I just need now to keep the metadata consistent if/when it's updated elsewhere in ES.

Hope you get power back soon!

TMNTturtlguy

@pjft Thanks and glad to hear all is going well. We actually just got power back on! A day earlier than expected. I have completed the theme updates and they are all ready to be uploaded so that everyone can update. The only hold up is that after updating to the newest ES from source which now includes screensavers! the ratings system is broken. I used to have the comic pows with colored overlays (instead of stars). The code for those was identical to the original stars in carbon, i just switched out .svg files. Now the comic pows all show up black and they just get bolder when the rating goes up, no more color/image working on them. On the older ES and even your Screensaver test branch, this worked fine. @jdrassa and @ruckage i did see you guys working on something like this, can you let me know what might have happened? No changes to my theme, so it must be something in the updates?

@pjft - i do have all 3 of your systems ready to go and included. Last played will need some future updates but it works great and for the most part it is all completed. I need to upload and throw together an update post, but was hoping to figure out the rating system before releasing.

If anyone out there is running the newest ES from source with the comic book theme, can you please report if the rating system is all black, or is it still in color on your ES v 2.3.0RP
