[New Theme] Cygnus, with support for video and carousel features
-
Here's a little theme I'm working on, it supports all systems, is resolution/aspect independent comes in 3 color schemes and 4 display variations. I'm almost ready for release now so here is a video of all the system screens
And a picture of some of the different displays
-
Very clean.
Nice work :) -
@ChoccyHobNob I absolutely love your system select screens! Those are super clean and unique!
-
@ChoccyHobNob do you have screenshots of the 3 color schemes and 4 display variations?
-
@ChoccyHobNob It looks great. Dumb question. How did you get rid of the white scroll on the system selection? I didn't think it was themeable.
-
@cafarellidigital not yet :)
-
@shamrock it's themeable in the latest version of emulationstation. I didn't get rid of it, it's the logo in the bottom middle of the system screen
-
I like it!
-
@ChoccyHobNob Thanks. Is there anyway you can share that snippet of code. I am a beginner working on a theme to the best of my (in)ability.
-
@shamrock I got it from @mattrixk's toolkit here https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9047/emulationstation-toolkit-theme-making-helper
-
This is awesome!
-
@shamrock: The BaseVid theme in the ES Toolkit has examples of how to theme the Carousel.
@ChoccyHobNob: Looks really good. One small thing I noticed is the the "xx games available" looks a little out of place. You could put it in line with the Help text, and maybe even make it the same size/colour so it sort of flows a bit more.
-
@ChoccyHobNob I agree with @mattrixk about the "xx games available" section. My neurotic design-mind wants it perfectly aligned and sized with the help bar. I think I'll do the same with my next theme; great idea!
-
@mattrixk I've never tried changing the font of the help text, should be interesting. I used your example and tweaked btw, so your basevid theme doesn't match the help text either ;)
-
@ChoccyHobNob Hmm... the BaseVid theme is based on another one that I'm currently working on, but with a lot of the custom image stuff ripped out. I thought I had the Help stuff set up, but I guess not.
-
@mattrixk Mine has matching fonts, colours, sizes and positions now :) coming along but the final set of art is the hardest bit

@ChoccyHobNob said in Here are a few screens of my new theme, Cygnus:

I know what you mean. I've been working on the Indent theme for months. The art just takes so long. I just had 2 weeks off work, I had intended to get the theme finished, but I haven't touched it. I did get to play some actual games though, which was awesome.
-
This looks nice, can't wait to see it complete!
-
Looks veeeeeeery cool !
Can't wait to test it on my Pi !
Go ahead !

Just the readme and some last minute testing to do now. Then I can put this online.
@herb_fargus how do I get this added to the theme picker/gallery in retropie? Is there any specific way I need to prepare it? I was just going to upload to github for each of the 4 styles (full, nometa, simpleart, nometa-simpleart) is that the best way?
