Themes / Re: New layout in progress ...

« on: March 30, 2020, 04:26:02 AM »

Hello everyone, I hope all of you will be fine at  home, mothe F***ER COVID19!!! ... I want to show you my simple and humble latest layout in 4: 3 format that I am designing, thank you very much to the creator of the keyboard search plugin, the idea is to use the arcade overlays created by Flood in the preview. It`s in beta state, there are about 1000 overlays but some of then does´nt fit with resolution ... there are 2 defaults overlays in case custom overlays is not found. The video is taken with smartphone because i only work with raspberry. I need some help in use of mask and some others thins about size of some overlays... i hope to share with you very soon ... God luck and cheers

Here video preview: WIP but working fine.

Beautiful work!
Just an addendum, if you put the marquee above the video wouldn't it be better? Have you done this test?
It would look like an arcade with dynamic marquee.

the file/sourcecode for using intro videos are here:
AM-folder\intro\intro.nut

it seems, that there are no codelines for a second display video / intro on second marquee screen.
so picture is black on second display / marquee display.

i have tried, setting a video to ratio 32x9 (16 first display + 16 second display). but doesn't work...

probably somebody could customize the sourcecode?

I believe that because it is not very common to use 2 monitors, nobody thought about this possibility.
Since I don't know how to program, let's hope that a charitable soul will help us with this problem.
Anyway thanks for the attention given to my question friend, big hug!

@hermine.potter, thanks for reply!

You are right in the analysis, but what I wanted to know is whether it is possible to put a second startup video or image in the dynamic marquee when system starts.
For example:
Main monitor plays - intro_1.mp4
Dinamic Marquee plays - intro_2.mp4

I see little material about the dynamic marquee and I don't know if that is possible.

Sorry friend, I just forgot to follow the topic. 
I mean, I wish I could choose a second video when to appear in the dynamic marquee while the system starts.
The video below will help you understand better.
The marquee starts only when you enter the game selection screen.

Hello guys!
I did some research and found nothing about placing a second intro video on my dynamic marquee on my PC when Attract Mode start.
Does anyone know if it is possible or if anyone could pass me how it can be done?

Sorry, but I'm using google translator.
I noticed that some emulators were using part of the second monitor so I got some progress looking for how about forcing a program to run on a specific monitor.
It did not work on all emulators but mostly the second combination: Hit the Windows key + Shift + Enter.
