Title: Updating Attract Mode on the Pi
Post by: Sovikos on January 19, 2017, 09:14:03 AM

I've been looking through the forum, and I am probably just blind, but I can't seem to find where to update Attract Mode on a Raspberry Pi?  I am also wondering if it will overwrite any changes I made to layouts or anything like that, if and when I do update?

I just did this....Basically, reinstall AM like here: https://github.com/mickelson/attract/wiki/Compiling-on-the-Raspberry-Pi-%28Raspbian-Jessie%29

All your settings will be the same.

 cd
 mkdir develop 
 cd develop 
 git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mickelson/attract attract 
 cd attract 
 make USE_GLES=1 
 sudo make install       
 
The commands above will create a new directory, connect to the github internet sight, pull down the latest release and install it.
 Once all commands have been executed, perform a reboot.   
Once the update has completed ....and you've copied over all of the files from the above steps, it's time to assign the theme to the new Display Menu system selection wheel.
  --TAB--DISPLAYS-- >> choose the display called "Display Menu"   
 navigate to the layout option and change it to be:  neon-main  Initially, the new display menu's layout is assigned as "default", which is the standard text-only display. 
 Assigning this new Display Menu to neon-main will maintain the consistant look and feel across all displays.
You will need to obtain system wheels and system preview snaps and copy them into the following folders.
/home/pi/.attract/menu-art/snap
/home/pi/.attract/menu-art/wheel
