Thanks for taking the time to share. I revised some to make it a bit simpler...lowering the number of wheel graphics, getting rid of genre and manufacturer images. At this point I like it...not saying it won't undergo another revision, but it covers everything I wanted in a layout.

Well, at least it's giving me time to try some different themes...

Thanks for the advice. I like your idea of the faint outline for the controller. I don't know how I can eliminate everything below the video/history because of the orientation of my screen. I'm working with a 32" vertical monitor at 768x1366.

What would you suggest for the game selection list if that section was removed?

The best looking themes here haven't worked yet for vertical orientation...that's why I'm holding out for Flat Blue.

You've got a lot of favorites! It reminds me of the OUYA interface in some ways. Have fun.

I didn't realize liquid's code would show a different image for golf and baseball with that code, I thought it was defaulting to sports if any of the sports were included.

Themes / Vertical Theme (Updated Video)

« on: April 25, 2016, 03:35:03 AM »

I'm working on a vertical theme which has taken my favorite elements from other themes.
Please keep in mind this is a vertical 32" screen at 768x1366 resolution.

Here is a video of the one I am currently using: https://youtu.be/ZRVhNF2MlZ4

Scripting / Genre Display from Magic Token Category

« on: April 25, 2016, 03:17:25 AM »

If the magic token for Category is: Shooter / Flying Vertical
I am not able to use a slash for naming the desired image. I started doing a find/replace for "Shooter /Flying Vertical" to Shooter_Flying_Vertical.png to display the images.

The code is simple for displaying using this renaming method, but I would prefer if the code would work with the original Category:
// Genre
local genre = PreserveImage("genre/[Category]",400,1075,368,368);
genre.set_fit_or_fill( "fit");
genre.set_anchor( ::Anchor.Center );

If you've read this far: Can I use something like if CATEGORY CONTAINS Flying Vertical then X=Shooter_Flying_Vertical

I might try the uifx...running a self compile 1.70 at the moment.

I like to have mamelayplus because my screen is vertical.

Here's to hoping when Simply Austin does his Youtube review he'll include a Floob type image with artwork!

Omamez, can you post a pic of the 3d printed case.

Mine is a lego bus at the moment.

Thanks. Now that I'm learning more about the coding I'm going to redo the magazine theme so it is more user friendly, and hopefully will look better too.
