Good work dude

[poumtaq]

Hi, thanks for this new theme !
Could you add a "download" option to your git repo ?

[DjLeChuck]

@poumtaq There is an option: https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-themes/archive/master.zip But it downloads ALL the repo.

[supernature2k]

@poumtaq unfortunately I can't

@rockaddicted would it be possible to make a release like Eudora & simplelight?

[poumtaq]

@DjLeChuck yep nickel merci, pas grave je prends tout et ferai le tri !

[rockaddicted]

@supernature2k of course.

[azvarel]

Alors testé en 480i sur CRT :

Big Picture :

Big Picture Blue :

Standard - Landscape :

NoDesc :

Supernature2K :

Controls :

Je testerai en 240p pour que t'es une idée

Mais en tout cas c'est parfait, le decalage que l'on voit c'est l'overscan de mon écran qui est réglé pour la résolution 240p en jeu. (EmulationStation tourne en 480i)

@supernature2k I use your new theme with my 7" display: https://www.adafruit.com/products/2300 (1024x600)

aaaand it works great I have tested:

• no description layout / white & black colorset:
  

• supernature2k layout / white & black colorset
  This is not very suitable for small screens like this. Too many information on the screen.
  

• big picture layout / white & black colorset
  This is my absolute favourite layout for this size of screens. Only as much information as needed. Big pictures. This gives a nice overview

Thanks for your work

[supernature2k]

@lackyluuk thx very much for the feedback!

what about system info? is it readable?

[lackyluuk]

@supernature2k It is readable although it is a small font size. What about using the whole space below the system logo instead of having all the information in the middle at small font size?

Is it maybe also possible to increase the game names a little bit in the detailed view? Currently we see 17 games on one page. On small screens the number could be decreased to 10 - 14 or something like this?

[supernature2k]

@lackyluuk

thx very much!

For the system info, I just let it as it is in recalbox theme. Let's see what @reivax and @Global-Moderators think

For number of items in gamelist there is no other solution than creating a specific layout for small screens

[Substring]

/me thinks there is soooooo much space unsused. But i really do not care that much about the visual part of the project Except this multi idea is awesome !

[Substring]

@lackyluuk the problem with big scraped images is the resolution ... I think we fixed it at 350^x wide, something like that. So strzetching it on a 1080p screen can be ... errr .. ugly

[rockaddicted]

@Substring everyone can choose the scrape size by editing es_settings.cfg file (why not export this setting in ES in the futur)

[rockaddicted]

typically our "mix images" from the new screenscraper scraper in ES are computed with a size of 745x745 pixels, then resized in ES during the scrape.

Hi All,

v2.0 of the recalbox-multi theme is now out!

You can download it here

(link in 1st post also updated)

What's new? lotta things!

2 new layouts:

• crt that fits nicely on crt screens in low res (480)
• tinyscreen for small tft or crts with very low res

multi region for following consoles: (thx @paradadf )

Dreamcast/megadrive/nes/pcengine/pcenginecd/sega32x/segacd/snes

to activate a specific region, got to theme.xml in each folder and change the settings:

<!-- uncomment one of these lines to choose region for this system-->
                <include>./theme_eu.xml</include>
                <!--<include>./theme_us.xml</include>-->
                <!--<include>./theme_jp.xml</include>-->

Your help is still welcome for:

• testing
• complete the controls layouts
• create new colorsets or layouts
