Title: How to add a favorites icon?
Post by: dtec on April 01, 2020, 03:04:18 PM

Hi all,

I am currently working on a cocktail arcade build and have been looking for a simple theme that works for me.
While I found a few that I really liked, they all lacked the ability to show an icon on games I marked as a favorite.

Is there an easy way to modify an existing theme, so it will display a start or whatever on games I added to my favorites list?

Thank you,

In short, no there's not an easy way, it depends largely on how the theme is built. If you just want a "star graphics" on the main page then it could be pretty easy to add, but if the theme is a list or a grid and you want to highlight each favorite game then it gets difficult. BTW, my theme Arcadeflow supports favorites highlights, maybe you can check it out to see if you like it (warning, doesn't work on raspberry Pi) :)
