Arcadeflow theme v 17.1 [Release] Updated 22 March 2024

[zpaolo11x]

I tried the auto-update with auto-install option: the whole process went smoothly! I also confirm that now the "blinky" shell issue originally caused by the auto-update is resolved 

May I ask you to send me your attract.cfg file after the auto-update? There's something wrong when I do updates on my system but apparently nothing too scary. If you can share it send it to paolo.zago@gmail.com

Arcadeflow 8.2 is out!

Besides the usual bug fixes and under the hood improvements, in this release you can enable/disable individual "Utility Menu" entries to reduce clutter. There's also a new "Pinball" display category. Have a look at the what's new online and enjoy the new release!

Many thanks for the update and new features! Can't wait to test it.

Time to work on the "History Page"... I'm implementing a new calculation for the panel size and content, so the panel will maintain the same aspect ratio for every resolution (see attached example for horizontal resolution, but it will work in vertical also). There will be an option to chose the proportion of the panel, so you can see more history at the expense of the screenshot, or have larger screen but cramped history.

They are gzipped now because this works better for the auto-update and auto-install feature. Is this an issue on your os?

No problem, with 7zip I can open it

Sneak preview of another feature in 8.3: game panel overlay, with button hints if you have data in your command.dat mame file. Still polishing, but promising

I'd love to have option to disable context menu and have it's functions moved to game panel, as normal buttons under description. Which would make for more traditional browse mode. This would make the theme almost perfect for me.

Either way, it's just getting better and better, great work

I see what you mean, right now you can disable the context menu, and set the history so that when you press Select on a game it will show. Of course this way you'll lose the context menu function, unless you map that to a different custom button.

The idea of adding those functions to the history panel is good though, I'm thinking how to do it, because navigation in that panel is a bit complicated. Maybe I can add an option like this: when you are in history mode and you press "UP" from the topmost row of the history, the context menu pops up and you can use those functions...

That would work for me
Yes I know that you disable it altogether but it takes you straight into game then.

True, but if you set the Select button for the History page, it will bring you to the games panel instead or running the game.

Arcadeflow 8.3 is out!

Featuring a new, complete Spanish translation by Jate from the forum (thanks a lot!) and many customization options. Filter and sort the utility menu as you like, and also the multifilter menu can be heavily customized.
Improved the way text panel is rendered in History page, plus the support for command.dat allows you to see the function of each button.

Update, report bugs, but most of all... have fun!
