exactly what i was looking for!

Unfortunately EmulationStation don't work on my computers because of the OpenGL requisites...
But I love the UI.

Waiting to see the final result!

hi xbs,
im having fun with the theme (don't consider im stealing it! just for personal purpose, i won't put it on the web)
just to learn how to modify layouts and adapting it to my screen size.

im trying to find a way to scrap games description but i think there is no way to do that, it's built in the executable file...

Not at all :D
I'm really happy this layout "port" is appreciated.

I'm also trying to figure out how to scrap games descriptions from history.dat file (mame) but I haven't  found a way yet.

I find out the sound is repeated while background snap enabled. The background's sound should be disabled. Below is the script.

bgart.video_flags = Vid.NoAudio;

how would one change the color for


local gametitle = fe.add_text( gamename ( 0 ), 0, 915, 1152, 108 );
      gametitle.align = Align.Left;
      gametitle.alpha = 40;

just add a line below that:
Code: [Select]
gametitle.set_rgb( 200, 50, 50 );

Hi xbs,

Thanks for the work on this skin - I like the simplicity of the es theme.

I have made some mods to this theme and I would like to share them - do you mind?

Thanks

Cheers

I'm after something simple, clean and modern and emulation_station is a great base. Changes so far:
*Skin renamed to emulation_station_remix so I can have both installed.
*Reduced the opacity of the background.
*Changed sizing to 1920x1080
*Changed sizes and positions of objects to better suit the new resolution.
*Removed all options
*Only artwork used now is 'snap' for the background and 'cover' for main art
*Added a heap of system icons, they are named after the 'emulator' name and are located in the logos dir.
*Removed status and added overview.

To-do: I really want the overiview text to scroll. So far I havent had much luck. Probably some other things too... its my first crack at anything AM related.
