Although in the simulations it seemed like that, now I can say that the three themes work perfectly in 4:3, 16:10 and 16:9.

I've been able to see for myself on screens of 1024x768 (4:3), 1440x900 (16:10), 1920:1200 (16:10), 1366x768 (16:9) and 1920x1080 (16:9).

I do not know if you mean this, in ioflat games, top bar, for the categories:

http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=2481.0

Anyway, upload a screen with what you want to do and maybe we understand you better.

And I think that this thread should go in scripting not in themes. There you could have more help.

Themes / Retro Gui AM Theme --> From MALA/Mamewah to Attract-Mode.
« on: October 02, 2018, 06:49:57 AM »
Retro Gui AM Theme.

Years ago I saw the Retro Gui theme of Nexus6 for MALA, and I liked its retro and simple style so much that I started to try MALA. Very little time, because I got fed up with him.

Well, the fact is that after re-encoding the Ring Blue for AM, I remembered the RetroGui theme, I searched my old hard drives and found the original layout, so I've also recoded it for AM, even changing the way the backgrounds are displayed of the machines.

It works in 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10. The layout checks the screen resolution and depending on it, loads some graphics or others. For my part I have checked it in 1440x900 (16:10), 1920x1080 (16:9) and 1024x768 (4:3) and it works perfectly.

In addition to the original listbox, I have added a shuffle option, for those who prefer it, and another option to use scanlines in the videos of the games. I have also put the search system without keyboard and the option to align the lists to the left, right or center. And finally there is another option to see more data of the games or leave it as the original layout.

I have not wanted to add any type of marquee or any other graphic to respect as much as possible the original design, which in the end, is what attracted my attention.

I do not think that it will be used by many people, but as of MALA there is no web, official forum, or anything, I did not want to let that RetroGui die that I liked so much in his day. Today I still like it, but technically it is already very much surpassed.

You can download it here: https://mega.nz/#!Wkdl2CjQ!QnC1vMRNxXlJV2kiXAdDM99WRsirikXnNKVLcpCSzdE

Themes / Re: iojukebox Theme, a JukeBox for Attract-Mode.
« on: October 02, 2018, 03:05:28 AM »
Now you can use accents, á, é, ñ and other unicode characters in iojukebox.

Before I did not read the album covers with accents, for example.

After a month of communicating the AM bug, Mickelson has modified the code correcting the bug he had when dealing with UNICODE.

To be able to use the new code you have to download the latest unofficial version, but it works in windows perfectly, from here:

http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=2324.0

In linux and mac you have to compile yourself.

Attract-Mode does not allow changing the spacing between lines of your listbox, they all have the same. So if I put it with 11 lines, the list covers part of the middle selector of the list, that's why it's with 9. I attach images so you can see it.

What I have done is to occupy more space in the list and change the font for another more readable.

If you're worth it, tell me and upload the changes to mega. If you want something more, just say it, if it is within my reach, I will.

And if I came to know that the theme was originally yours, I would have asked for your permission before doing so, but I had no way of relating Nevincho to A. D.

If you tell me, I modify it as you want, and I even delete it from the forum.

I just wanted to say that there is no need to use MALA layouts in AM, which is easy to do the coding.

I like the theme, and of course i modified it a bit, i did not intend to make an exact copy.

I did not mean to bother anyone. If i have done it, i am sorry and i apologize.

ioflat Theme (With System Menus)

Version: 02/25/2019

The system consists of 3 layouts: ioflat menu, ioflat systems and ioflat games.

ioflat menu

It is the main menu with one division per type of machine/system. In my case: Arcade Classics, Arcade, Consoles, Handhelds, Pinballs and Computers.

Your position is, in your attract.cfg, at the end of the general section:

Code: [Select]
general
language             en
exit_command         
default_font         larabiefont
font_path           
screen_saver_timeout 0
displays_menu_exit   no
hide_brackets        no
startup_mode         displays_menu
confirm_favourites   yes
confirm_exit         yes
mouse_threshold      10
joystick_threshold   75
window_mode          fullscreen
filter_wrap_mode     default
track_usage          yes
multiple_monitors    yes
smooth_images        yes
accelerate_selection yes
selection_speed_ms   51
scrape_snaps         no
scrape_marquees      no
scrape_flyers        no
scrape_wheels        no
scrape_fanart        no
scrape_videos        no
scrape_overview      yes
hide_console         yes
video_decoder        software
menu_prompt          Displays Menu
menu_layout          ioflat menu

It is operated with the left and right keys, not up and down.

Important to change the selection_speed_ms to 51 and the scrape_overview to yes.

Important to activate the Platforms plugin that i include with the themes, copy the folder Platforms on the plugins folder of your Attract-Mode (for example E:\arcade\attract\plugins\Platforms). If you are going to modify the names of the menus you must edit the content of plugin.nut.

If you want to see, in addition to the 6 options indicated above, an exit option of Attract-Mode, put displays_menu_exit as yes and add in attract\menu-art the video and/or the arts with the name "Exit Attract-Mode".

ioflat menu has 3 options:
  • Select the art that will be displayed in the selector: fanart, flyer, marquee, snap or wheel.
  • Select the scheme color: aqua, blue, brown, cream, dark, granite, green, grey, orange, pink, purple, red, wengue, white, yellow, UCLA or random"
  • Shows clock and date, in Spanish or USA format.

When not using this theme the option "per_display" (it would not make much sense to be a main menu), the configuration will appear in the attract.cfg below the general configuration, like this:

Code: [Select]
layout_config ioflat menu
param                set_art snap
param                set_clock english
param                set_rgb_scheme random


ioflat systems

It is the menu of each system, within each option of ioflat menu. For example, to choose, NES, SNES, Genesis, etc. within Consoles.

Your position is, in your attract.cfg, at the beginning, and, following my example, with this structure:

Code: [Select]

ioflat systems has 7 options:
  • Select the system selector type: Carrier, Grid or List.
  • Select the art that will be displayed in the selector: fanart, flyer, marquee, snap or wheel.
  • Select the art that will be displayed in the top of screen: marquee, wheel.
  • Select the scheme color: aqua, blue, brown, cream, dark, granite, green, grey, orange, pink, purple, red, wengue, white, yellow, UCLA or random"
  • Shows clock and date, in Spanish or USA format.
  • Choose the key to initiate a search. (Thanks, liquid8d).
  • Choose the search method.

The grid must be managed with the four directions: up, down, left and right.

The carrier (bottom bar) only with left and right.

The list only with up and down.

The search/filtering system of liquid8d in this theme is implemented in Carrier and List options and works well, even you search for uppercase words (if you search for nes, Genesis NES or SNES returns it), since it is a option that does not contemplate in the original search of liquid8d. I have modified it.

Important:
  • The themes are designed to work at any screen resolution, but videos using "ioflat menu" and "ioflat systems" should be in 4:3 format (1024x768, 800x600, 640x480 , etc). I the ones i use (those that appear in youtube videos) are in 1024x768.
  • The three themes work ok in 4:3, 5:3, 16:9, 16:10 and 17:10. Tested by myself on screens of 1024x768 (4:3), 1280x768 (5:3), 1280x800, 1440x900 and 1920x1200 (16:10), 1366x768 and 1920x1080 (16:9) and 1024x600 (17:10) and it works perfectly.
  • The overviews of the systems, not the games, will be placed in the folder \scraper\@\overview\SISTEMA.txt of your Attract-Mode. In my case, for Atari 2600, it would be E:\arcade\attract\scraper\@\overview\Atari 2600.txt.
  • These themes are aesthetically compatible with my theme iojukebox for music.
  • In any of the three themes you have to keep in mind that the use of snaps (videos), instead of static images, significantly increases CPU consumption.


ioflat games

It is the standard theme for games of any system. It's a new theme, inspired by Oomek's Silky, but with a quite different function. And as usual, I leave it in mega with the hope that you try it well tested and tell me what mistakes you have found, what is missing, what is left over and if you like it or not. Although this last one i already know that it is like a talking to brick wall... ;D

ioflat games has 13 options:
  • Shows clock and date, in Spanish or USA format.
  • Select the art that will be displayed in the right column: snap, flyer, fanart or none.
  • Select the art that will be displayed in the bottom banner: snap, flyer, fanart or none.
  • Select the art that will be displayed in the top of screen: marquee, wheel or none
  • Select the scheme color: amiga, spectrum, aqua, blue, brown, cream, dark, granite, green, grey, orange, pink, purple, red, wengue, white, yellow, UCLA or random"
  • Number of rows in the List: 12 (big font) or 24 (small font).
  • The time (in milliseconds) it takes to start hiding the frames, carrier, list and wheels. Set to 0 for no hide.
  • The time (in milliseconds) that it takes for the wheels, carrier, list and frames to hide.
  • Use system logos or only name.
  • Use the icons of the language flags of the games or not.
  • Use the icons of the genres of the games or not (The genre is always indicated with text).
  • Choose the key to initiate a search. (Thanks, liquid8d).
  • Choose the search method.

All this can be checked perfectly in the video that i leave below, where you can see how, when entering Consoles, as you change the system there is a graphic more or less on the screen than in the previous one or the next console. From having all the graphic options to leaving it alone with texts. So everyone can leave it to their liking.

With the keys up and down you change the game and with the left and right you change the genre (if this does not work like this, you would have to define left and right as a previous filter and a next filter in the Attract-Mode controls configuration).

The overviews of the games will be placed in the \scraper\SYSTEM\overview\GAME.txt folder of your Attract-Mode. In my case, for the Aerobiz game of Sega Genesis, it would be E:\arcade\attract\scraper\Sega Genesis\overview\Aerobiz.txt.

In the color schemes, there are two special ones: Amiga and Spectrum, which, logically, are not included in the "random" option.
Amiga, for the emulation of the Commodore Amiga computer, and Spectrum for the emulation of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum computer. The thing about adding a special scheme for Amiga is because it was the computer that i always wanted and could never have; and the Spectrum, because it was my first computer and i have a special affection... :-[

In the video the color schemes of the three layouts are in random (minus the amiga and the spectrum, obviously), so every time you enter or leave a system, the colors change. But remember that they can be fixed. To me, particularly, the scheme that i like the most is the "blue".

Well i think that everything is there, if you need some more explanation, because you know, to ask, that we are here.
