[download v1.0] FLAT BLUE theme released

[chrisvg]

Looking great! Will it be able to work well with consoles also? I've noticed several (very nice) screenshots with mame and other arcade art. However, I imagined having the ability to place boxart such as those from NES, Sega Genesis, etc. on the screen, instead of game logos

Thanks!

The layout is designed primarily with MAME in mind, however there's no reason you couldn't set up box art as a "wheel" art type, or if you want to use box art as the menu icons, you could do that too (the layout supports multiple art types for the menu).  Also, the layout does include support for displaying different systems.

This looks really incredible! Excellent job.

Here's a little sneaky peek at it running on my vertical Blast City cabinet

Great work! Looking forward to this theme being released

Thanks! All good things take time as they say, but it shouldn't be too much longer now

I'm sure hoping it looks as good at 768x1366...

Hi,

I'm really impressed by your theme and thanks for your hard work.
Do you think it will work on a small monitor with a 800x480 resolution?

I had no idea about 5:3 aspect ratio monitors, but I see sites like adafruit sell them for Pi users huh?

I can add support for it...

[chaney]

Yes, exactly, I bought it for my Pi2 on Adafruit website
Would be REALLY great, thanks!

FYI, The Nevato theme doesn't work at all on it, unfortunately

[verion]

Why is NEVATO not working on Pi2? Please report it in NEVATO thread, so I can fix it.

[chaney]

Nope, sorry, I mean it doesn't work on my monitor

[chrisvg]

Just added support for 800x480 and 480x800.  Note that the CRT shader effect is disabled at low resolutions as it really needs a high resolution to simulate the subpixel effects.  You can still enable a scanline overlay effect though (these screenshots have scanlines set to a weak value, this is adjustable in the layout settings).

Will this theme work/look good at a 15kHz line frequency (640x480i)? I want to run Attract-Mode on my RGB SCART-enabled CRT TV. :-)
