Minor update available 0.7.1

Project is now hosted on Github
i've made a few changes while doing this :

• Add new colorset called "game accent", this add some possible configurations with colorset option and improve some assets quality.
• Fix psx Final Fantasy VII game theme was not "pixelate"
• When a system has multiple game themes, system folder is now duplicate instead of media files inside it, this make it easier to switch game theme
• 720p and 1080p images are non longer available as separate standalone downloads, 2 downloads package are now available from github, one including 720p and another one including 1080p images

Added almost all missing systems for this version.
Here are systems yet to be supported :

• amstradcpc
• channelf (i tried, but tough one, any game suggestion and/or pictures are welcome)
• lutro
• oric
• ports (not sure what is it, any clue?)
• thomson

i'll be glad to have help for these last ones.

Next version will focus on a complete gamelist view review as i'm not happy anymore with the actual one. I'll try to make something more consistent with the recent changes for system views.

@myst ports is a system planned for the future, where pc games have been ported to a raspberry pi or linux. For instance, Doom has a libretro core called prboom and currently we have also prboom as an own system. To not expand the system list and, among others, make future theme developers less scary about the amount of supported systems, we plan to gather stuff like prboom, cavestory, maybe lutro and who know what else together with any future ports supported by recalbox in a single system called ports.

@paradadf ok thx for the info, i guess i'll add cavestory/prboom images for next release

I recently noticed that the "scrolling" direction (for lack of a better word to describe it) feels kind of wrong when using the vertical wheel.

For example, if I'm currently seeing the SNES system view, the NES is showing up two position down the wheel. Now my natural behavior when wanting to change to the NES is pressing the "down" button twice. What this does is the opposite of what I would expect, it moves upwards, away from where I wanted to go.

Now this could be only my expectation, but if I remember correctly the recalbox-next wheel does the exact opposite of this, as do most other themes with wheel support.

How would you feel about changing this or maybe making it a configuration parameter in the next release? Or is it really only me thinking this?

[mYSt]

@bloodsurfer Nice catch! Fixed for next release, you can apply patch manually for now, check this commit

[Bloodsurfer]

Yay, thanks!

[Bkg2k]

Very nice work. Can't wait for a final version

[ian57]

@paradadf Perfect for my scooby cab

[mYSt]

@ian57 Hum i need to improve 4/3 compatibility, this is definitly not what it should looks like.

[ian57]

@mYSt great work! looks good even if 4/3 compatibility is not at best

[mYSt]

Version 0.8.1

Just released a new version to add 4:3 support (and 16:10), i couldn't leave it as is when i saw @ian57 picture :), also fixed somme issues with 720p screens.
Please read carefully download instructions for 16:10 users and users having memory issues with Raspberry Pi, when switching to 720p package on 1080p screen, i added instructions to force recalbox to run at 720p as weel as it will greatly improve image quality.

Changelog:

• Add 4/3 screens support
• Add 16/10 screens support
• Add ports support (using cavestory game theme and prboom game theme as alternative)
• Fix layout on 720p screens
• Fix wheel scrolling direction

@ian57 try 4:3 version and now you can tell me it didn't look great at all

[ian57]

@mYSt ok, i will make a test ASAP. Thanks for the job.

Very exciting changes in last releases, I'm following development of this theme continuously
Unfortunately, due to a lack of time, I currently can't install new version. Looking forward to final new RB version, then I'll go for install of latest Next Pixel version too.
Also curious about your suggestion switching Pi to 720p mode, can't wait to try
Thanks again for your work!

Bonjour à tous,

Etant équipée d'un RPI 3B+, je suis actuellement sur la dernière version Beta de Recalbox (2019.02.24).
Après avoir flashé ma carte SD SanDisk avec la cette version, j'ai remis le thème Next Pixel dans le dossier themes.

Cependant, après avoir sélectionné le thème Next Pixel dans les menus de Recalbox, l'affichage ne se fait pas correctement.
J'ai un fond noir avec uniquement le nom des consoles sur un bandeau.

J'aimerai savoir s'il y a un éventuel problème de compatibilité entre la dernière version de Recalbox et ce thème et si quelqu'un a eu ce souci (avec la même configuration que la mienne).

Merci pour vos retours.

Hello everyone,

Being equipped with a RPI 3B +, I am currently on the last Beta version of Recalbox (2019.02.24).
After flashing my SanDisk SD card with this version, I put the Next Pixel theme in the themes folder.

However, after selecting the Next Pixel theme in the Recalbox menus, the display is not done correctly.
I have a black background with only the name of the consoles on a banner.

I would like to know if there is a possible problem of compatibility between the last version of Recalbox and this theme and if someone had this problem (with the same configuration as mine).

Thank you for your feedback.

@matth23
Quel version as tu téléchargé (lien du zip)?
Quel system view tu utilises (horizontal/vertical)?
ça le fait aussi sur la liste des jeux?
Si tu navigues dans les dossiers system du theme les fichiers background, background_legacy et background_wheel sont ils présents?
