Themes / Re: What happened to all the themes?

« Last post by dmmarti on October 02, 2023, 09:12:49 AM »

I haven't really made themes in a long time. But all of my older ones are still on my Github.  I wasn't the best theme programmer back then, but they seemed to work okay.

https://github.com/dmmarti?tab=repositories

I use Attract Mode in a nested menu (so I have Main Menu > Sub Menu > Systems Menu).

Main Menu and Sub Menu would use the same theme.

Main Menu => Computers, Consoles, Arcades, etc
Sub Menu => (would list all systems of the same type, ie: Atari 2600, NES, Megadrive, etc for Consoles)
System Menu => for viewing individual system's games

My naming convention on my GitHub let's you know which one that theme is for.

I have AM themes, ES themes, as well as system media PNGs on my Github.

For the AM themes, here's the naming convention (and you'll see _menu or _systems in it's name if needed, otherwise, it's a global use theme).

am-theme-XXXXXX

I also made RetroPie ES themes that are included in the RetroPie theme downloader script.

Then there's a bunch of repos for system media files (wheels, flyers, backgrounds, etc.) that could be used in all sorts of ways.

My thoughts exactly. The frontend itself, AttractMode, has made a lot of decent progress in recent days and continues to do so. However, the themes/layouts have become almost non-existent or are hidden in scattered places throughout the internet. There really needs to be an actual "Download" page for themes where they can be acquired easily instead of a forum page with a bunch of links, most of which don't work anymore.

There is a layout showcase channel on Attract Mode Discord server, but it's pretty new so it has only a handful of them. There was a plan (more an idea actually) to implement a layout showcase website or be able to download/update layouts from within Attract Mode, but this is going slow...

General / Orbit theme - Remove game name

« Last post by keeleon on September 28, 2023, 06:52:24 PM »

How do I remove the game name at the bottom of the screen in this layout?  ITs so pretty with the video and logo, and the basic text just kind of ruins it.  Also it would be nice to remove the "All [5/16]" from the bottom right as well if possible.

Themes / What happened to all the themes?

« Last post by SylentEcho on September 27, 2023, 04:17:03 AM »

Hi, all

Is there a reason most themes have been removed and the very few that are left (on YouTube) are stuck behind pay-walls?

I've been searching all over for well over a week, for a PS2 theme for my Desktop Attract Mode and have had no luck whatsoever. What happened to the good, old days of the internet? 

If possible and if it's allowed here, could someone please HMU with a good PS2 theme which supports box-art?

Themes / Re: At-The-Arcade Flex (multi-resolution / multi-aspect, MAME + pinball) [Release]

« Last post by RjamesC on September 25, 2023, 07:47:58 AM »

I am using ATA as a launcher for multiple emulators including Visual Pinball X.  In VPX folders I created a "pincabs" folder, updated the cfg file, and located cabinet art.  The cabs design displays properly but the backglass portion only shows the generic "Mame Arcade" logo.  All the pincabs PNG files have backglass images as part of the file but this portion is somehow being covered by the generic.  Is there a trick to display them properly and/or avoid the generic one from appearing?

Thanks!

In my vpx i have the backglass in a marquee folder , my layout seems to pull it from there even though its not listed in the cfg file.
