Title: MAGNUS theme with coverflow game selector [preview]
Post by: verion on November 25, 2017, 01:52:17 PM
This is a new MAGNUS theme with coverflow launcher.

Take a sneak peek at the new theme that we are creating together with liquid8d (coding). Prepare for really awesome features like cover flow selector and beautifully presented game artwork. The whole UI is made in 4K res - so your new big and shiny TV will be thrilled. It's of course down-scalable to lower resolutions. I think we are halfway through - but no ETA (as usual). Tell us what do you think.

I'm pretty sure that pi will be too weak for coverflow animations - sorry :(

nice color combination!
in ur coverflow: do u plan to move all non selected covers slitely left and right relative to the selected one? do u know what i mean? this is more and more used in other styles. i think netflix uses it.
would be a nice Feature. but i think also as bit work to do.

greets!

do u plan to move all non selected covers slightly left and right relative to the selected one?

what do you mean? like rotate/twist in perspective?
If so - the answer is no... not because of the amount of work but because with this particular design I want covers to be presented in 2D.

But I'm cooking another theme design with coverflow in perspective.

Yeps, I have been checking the facebook page. The last update was Jan 20th from what I can see. So I figured I would ask here. I really love all of your design work.

Post by: jedione on November 27, 2019, 10:26:06 AM
the onley real obsical i see is on how to go abought switching systems at the top,

individual layout for each layout?   can it be done through filters? i dont know

if anyone has a good idea on how to let me know! thanks

the easy way would be to get rid of all systems at the top and just show the current one and add som other shit to round the look out..

will see ..somthing will give,   :D

From my point of view, I think that this looks perfect and innovative. The detail of the systems at the top of the screen fits very well and is a detail that no layout, at least not that I know, has. The only thing that you notice is missing, unlike the images, is the name of the titles, players and gender at the bottom. ;)
Title: Re: MAGNUS theme with coverflow game selector [preview]
Post by: jedione on November 27, 2019, 11:33:53 AM
yaa, maybe ill just knock out the bottom info relay quick, on turkey day  and release it

my thought would be that others could help to make the functionality come to life........

sounds like a good plan.

I can't help you to program because I don't know how to do it in this language. The only thing I can do is to tester and give suggestions. 8)

Lookin great!
Would it be possible to make thumb adaptive? snes box covers look especially bad squished that much. I think that Arcadeflow is one of the themes that adapts thumb's aspect to the system name.

What good news Jedione! ;D Will you have any option for the covers of the games? For example, as seen in the following image:

Post by: jedione on November 28, 2019, 02:23:53 PM
that would be great,  but i dont know how to do,  short of just,  editing your own pics,  :-\

Yes, there is no other way to do it unless each user creates their own artworks. What I wanted to know is if the layout will have the option to show, in that section, flyers or fanart. That is what I meant. In my case, I use layouts for arcade games usually, not for consoles.

That's great Jedione. Well, if you think that way it will be better ahead. Anyway, once it is available for download and I can prove it, I can tell you with better accuracy that it could be improved. If you agree.

Post by: jedione on November 29, 2019, 07:29:17 AM
here is the idea im going to add in to the cover flow...

possible option "on off"

it is cropping the snap, via a surface, and using mipmap, to help it out.

preview = https://youtu.be/FbXfh8GzrVA (https://youtu.be/FbXfh8GzrVA)

off to work...

Very good idea that option! Especially for people who don't know how to design covers. Will the name of the game, the number of players and the genre at the bottom of the images remain? This detail looks great.

looks good already - but something is off with the gradient
I'll compare it with my design tomorrow and let you know.
I think I've used radial gradient to show a bit more of snap/video.

I'm glad you like it.
The initial idea was to change the color with every console.
You can see different color combinations here:
https://www.facebook.com/561670787341777/videos/884432048398981

But I like this color set the most.

Like so many others - A great idea is born, but after months and months of 'progress reports', that idea eventually disappears into thin air. In my opinion, a lot of these theme-projects start out as something awesome in a Photoshop mockup, but when it comes to actually making the layout/theme, they probably run into too many problems while trying to code it and eventually give up or forget about it. Then again, who knows - maybe it was 100% finished and just never released officially?
