[Release] DARKADE

[Nachtgarm]

A while back I made the DARKADE theme. It looks great on 19" LCD TFT's, but of course it works very well on FullHD Screens/TVs as well. Here are some screenshots in 5:4 Ratio

Startup Screen

Detailed view with scraped information

Non-scraped overview

It supports the following systems:

Enjoy it and let me know, what you think.

Thanks @Nachtgarm.

It's really good looking and I like it in combination with UXS. Great work!

How can I change the background image?

[Nachtgarm]

@tophuriel Which one?

[tophuriel]

@Nachtgarm None of the background images, those of the games that can scraper I have no problem. Only with the images of the consoles I have that problem

[Nachtgarm]

@tophuriel I still don't know what you mean.

My Theme (as all themes) consist of 3 backgrounds (kind of)

1. Main Menu BG
2. Game List (unscraped)
3. Game List (scraped)

@Nachtgarm

I'm sorry, it's the background image I'm referring to

[paradadf]

@tophuriel this theme has no background image, just a color given a code.

[tophuriel]

@paradadf

thank you very much

[Nachtgarm]

@paradadf That's actually not true. My theme has 3 backgrounds which are

Background for Game List

 <image name="background">
      <pos>0 0</pos>
      <origin>0 0</origin>
      <size>1 1</size>
      <path>./art/mid.png</path>
    </image>

Header and Footer

    <image name="header" extra="true">
      <pos>0 0</pos>
      <origin>0 0</origin>
      <size>1 0.16</size>
      <path>./art/dark.png</path>
    </image>
    <image name="footer" extra="true">
      <pos>0 1</pos>
      <origin>0 1</origin>
      <size>1 0.065</size>
      <path>./art/dark.png</path>
    </image>

and the main Background in the System overview (ES), which is the same for all Systems

    <image name="background" extra="true">
      <path>./../art/bg.jpg</path>
    </image>

[paradadf]

@Nachtgarm ups, sorry! I suppose whoever tried to change the background must have noticed it in the code

[Manuel Giuseppe Trizzo]

How to insert a theme?

[lackyluuk]

@Manuel-Giuseppe-Trizzo Please read the wiki! We are not writing it just for fun..

[Manuel Giuseppe Trizzo]

@lackyluuk
I do not understand much English,and Italian is not written.
where it is written for thema?

[paradadf]

@Manuel-Giuseppe-Trizzo just search for theme on the wiki.

[levendis32]

@starmagoo what do you mean combination with UXS.How you can combine it with UXS ?

[Nachtgarm]

@levendis32 He is using the Universal XML Scraper by @screech in combination with my theme and seems to like the outcome of it

[levendis32]

@Nachtgarm hahahaha , ok I know now what do you mean , I have downloaded the theme in a zip file and I think I have to copy paste it in Recalbox/System/.emulationstation\themes on my Network but inside the /System file I see only bluetooth,configs,logs,ssh,udev etc .
How can I enable to see the hidden files on Network and if I need to ROOT raspeberry how can I do it ?
After copying the zip file with the theme do I need to unzip it inside the theme file or just leave it there ?
Thank you for your patience guys
