Themes / Theme Gallery, place a thumb image of your theme here. Max size < 300x300
« on: December 12, 2015, 08:21:42 AM »
Reply to this post with a thumb image of your theme, the title, and whatever relevant information you want to submit with it. Let's keep the size below or equal to 300x300. Doing some quick math, If we do a max thumb size of 96kb then this thread should support at a minimum 53 themes. That should be adequate for now at least. I'll start with the robospim theme @ 300x300.
REMEMBER: This is not a discussion thread.
It's only for posting links to specific forum threads with FINISHED (working and downloadable) themes.
#1
300x300px is max dimension
It can be 300x225 (4:3)
#2
You can externally link bigger (or more) images
#3
IMHO there is no need for images bigger than 600px width
It supposed to be a thumbnail and link to theme thread in forum. A kind of a finished theme index.
#4
Don't post your whole theme here (as attachment) - just make a separate forum thread and post it there
#5
Again - it's not a discussion thread (...and not for announcement, mockups, unfinished themes).
All post that does not contain link to separate forum thread with working and downloadable theme will be DELETED.

Preview video of next release https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmOvoS5eVx0&nohtml5=False
Robospin updated 9/8/16.
Features, options and additions:
Auto scales 4:3 and most 16:9 aspect ratios. Tested 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1920x1080 res.
Options that can be turned on by users via layout options:
Wheel art, vertical art or a Listbox for rom-list.
Many background options to choose from including flyers.
Two types of cabinets, a modified robotron and moon patrol. Thanks to verion for making them look spiffy.
Marquee artwork. On by default, if turned off a generic user marquee is used. This is for users who might want to add custom art.
Shader effects like CRT or bloom. If CRT shader is turned on, static effect might be affected. Enabling shader effects can also hinder the raspberry Pi's performance.
Several overlays for masking backgrounds. Options include generic mask, scan-lines, and aperture effect.
Animated pointer types. Options include a rocket, metal hand, or none.
Lighted marquee effect. Not that great.
Flyers, took out pan-and-scan to boost performance on the pi.
Text frame to contrast text, on by default.
Random (RGB) text colors. The color of the text will change on each selection.
Genre icons.

General / CRT problems
« on: December 11, 2015, 03:28:38 PM »
I probably should post this on Klov but hey I'll give it whirl anyway. Anyone have experience with sharp image or CRT chassis in general? I just put a new cap kit on my sharp image si-727r-ds chassis to fix a horizontal width problem. The good news is the shotgun approach fixed the width collapse but now I can't get the picture to fill the full screen. I tried adjusting the width trim pot but nothing happens. All the vertical adjustments work fine. I ordered a new 5k trim pot for the width adjustment to see if that helps. If that doesn't work I guess it could be the B+ adjustment. But, I'm not sure what the correct voltage should be, though I'm guessing somewhere in the 109 v range. Anyone else have experience with CRTs?

Themes / Cockpit theme based on wing commander with animated pilot hand.
« on: November 17, 2015, 07:10:54 AM »
OK, I wanted to challenge myself to do something different. So, I created a cockpit theme based on wing commander, one of my favorite old games. I remember being mind blown playing it for the first time. Anyway, I think I've created something different and cool. The animated hand still needs work. Here is a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qHY5ehym3c&feature=youtu.be
I hope to release this soon if anyone is interested.

Themes / New tron them WIP with light cycles instead of ghost
« on: November 10, 2015, 08:56:36 PM »Tron theme based on attract-man, using light-cycles instead of ghost. It is a little colorful, since I wanted to use colors from the original game. I'm still playing around with the design and look of the layout. It already functions, so it's just a matter of being happy with the design aspect of it.
Feedback appreciated.

Themes / "WIP" Lean theme design
« on: August 10, 2015, 07:35:08 PM »
Working on a unified theme design for all the popular consoles and more. This is just the first mock-up. Transparency layers needs to be a little darker. Boxes need to be moved in closer. This layout will support the spin-wheel as well. Any other suggestions? Might add button art too.
Updade... Logo is displayed when marquee is turned off. On that note, when the marquee is enabled it will shift left over snap. Turning off the listbox enables spin-wheel.

Themes / Multi-layout that uses listbox or wheel via options.
« on: August 04, 2015, 11:33:16 AM »
Choose either listbox or Wheel. Listbox also has wheel select that helps it contrast with the text. It also has two shaders " crt & bloom". Three different backgrounds to choose from. Option to turn off marquee and I'm sure something is being left out.
