fe.Listbox
- format_string - Get/set the format for the text to display in each list entry. Magic tokens can be used here, see Magic Tokens for more information. If empty, game titles will be displayed (i.e. the same behaviour as if set to "[Title]"). Default is an empty value.
Can use a function for a magic token. Create your function to return your proper string. Typing on a phone while away from home. Hopefully you have enough to get started, assuming it works.

Hello keilmillerjr
Find how to chop game name as below code. I will try it on tonight.
But I still not know how to use "magic token" for adding index number of games. Could you help me to complete the script?. Many Thanks.
listbox.format_string = "[SortValue]";

I'll try to get it started if I have a slow part of my work day. Down here in florida working 14 hour days for two weeks.

First step for using magic tokens :)

Working on a pos Android phone, so I will edit as I go as to not loose what I type.
function Title(index_offset) {
}
local listbox = fe.add_listbox( x, y, w, H );
listbox.format_string = "[!Title(index_offset)]";

Good news. Fixed all issue. I will release new version soon. Thank you.

Thank you for keilmillerjr hints. I have updated the theme. You may download it from post #1 :)

Woohoo! Did passing the index_offset to the magic token work? I haven't tried it yet and I am curious.
-
How do you guys like using the fe.layout.preserve_aspect_ratio? I assume you need to turn off aspect_ratio for it to scale to different resolutions. I'm curious if there's an advantage to using it compared to the way I auto-scale my layouts. It would be less coding for sure.
Just wanted to get some feedback on any scaling issues. Thanks...

Keilmillerjr-
BTW, your mvscomplete layout looks nice and clean on a crt monitor.

thats fantastic do we also get the pandora 3 video intro lol :-*
how does this work with other consoles
-
This is very nice.
The word PAGE for each game at the top right doesn't match my understanding of the meaning, so I might change it to ITEM or GAME or something like that.
Thanks for sharing your work!
-
Remove the rom number because is duplicated info and keep the page.
-
Just update again for graphic improvement :)
-
Next target function :P
I created 2 rom list files of same console. One is English for game's name, another is Japanese for game's name.
May I select different "romlists" file by configure option?
class UserConfig {
</ label="Language", help="Select display language", options="English,Japanese", order=1 /> language="English";
}
if language="English"
English file location
else
Japanese file location
Anyone can help me complete the script. Thanks. :)

Haha, the layout template is coming from Pandoras Box. As you know, Pandoras Box is made by Chinese. Their English should be not good enough :P
-
I think they are actually right because it's [page/pages] and in AM it's [item/items]
- `[ListSize]` - the number of items in the game list
- `[ListEntry]` - the number of the current selection in the game list
-
You know the Chinese are not going to be happy with you stealing their ideas. :P

Haha, I come from Hong Kong. Chinese from China always steal another idea. So don't worry ;D
-
I've wanted to make PANDORA layout too. I really like it for it's simplicity and that sci-fi look.
I've dropped the idea because using Pandora's intellectual property (that screen background) would prevent such theme to be distributed with AM.
But before I've gave up... I've prepared 2 backgrounds with that top text and icons masked out (in attachment) :) so you can replace that PAGE and TIME with something else.
-----
I would also skip that numbering in front of game name... it seems unnecessary and that space can be better used to display longer game names
-
I know, I was being ironic. :)
-
Hi version
Wow!. Thank you for your image. It is great for us. Your art skill is better more.
I also respect intellectual property so please keep this theme using in non business use.

Dear All,
I updated the theme again, thank you all & version resource & idea, please download it on post #1
I really want to add language function in this theme, please tell me if you know. Thanks.

I also think it for long time. Auto-scale is the best idea in Technical level. But in ART design level, it is difficult to use single theme on both CRT & WideScreen resolution :)

It seems a issue for AM in this moment, I hope it can be fixed it soon

Hi Guys,
First post here as I am looking for a possible replacement for another front end. I absolutely love the Pandora theme from the first moment that I saw it on the jamma boards. It is very basic but it just has something sexy about it all at the same time.
I look forward to trying out Attract mode and also Pandora's theme.
Thank you for every one who makes the software and themes, so us mere mortals can feel young again.
Regards
Mark

hi, thanks for your work! few noob questions ::)
•How do i change resolution? it opens at 4:3 and i'd like to have it at 16:9 widescreen.
•The mame logo it wasn't showing up,so i renamed the png in the system folder to MAME (Libretro) and it fixed it,
if i add others .png for consoles would it work?
•Is it possible to get the roms list disappear when Not scrolling and showing just the flyer instead?
I really love it and i wanna use it for my cabinet, sorry for the questions, and Thank You! ;D
-
1. Open layout.nut go to fe.layout.preserve_aspect_ratio = true; and change "true" with "false''
2. Yes.
3. I do not think it will disappear.

Here is plugin.
PLEASE! would you mind to explain me how to do it? do i have to drag the PopUpImage.nut file into the folder of the theme? and how can i set a button to show it?
AND, i've got like 3000 mame roms, and when i'm on 1000 and over the first letter of the rome name goes over the number, how can i move a little more right the rom name?? Thank you!
-
Put PopUpImage.nut file in plugins folder.
In folder theme put image with instructions How to play.
Open menu-plugins-PopUpImage
Enabled - Yes
Image - path to your How to play img.
Key - Your choice
Hold Key - Yes
For rom names i dont know hot to fix this. But i add in AM only 500-600 games maximum.
Try to shorten the names. Sample: The King of Fighters 2000 - KoF`2000
