Title: my new theme i call "Platforms" -demo release-
Post by: jedione on September 08, 2016, 06:55:16 AM

i would like to say thanks to all who contribute to the themes on this site
since some is borrowed

Theme name "Platforms"

Hey guys here is a theme that i made that is a 7 in 1 theme that use's the
magic tokin [DisplayName] to alternate between platforms....
so it is one theme that you install and just back up your "attract.cfg"
and add the new "attract.cfg" supplied  with the theme..and enjoy
it will be done by maybe next weekend...

what do you think....i call it "platforms"

thanks for your input.... here is a short video      https://youtu.be/sJp191lHaGA

I wanted to do just that, and have a display per mame system supported but got issues with softwarelists
- Are the gamepad changed when changing the system ? That would be cool
- If doing a full attract.cfg, you might want to add filters. I did some and updated them here at the bottom: https://github.com/mickelson/attract/wiki/Example-filters. you can assign button to them to cycle them....
- If so you might want a bar on top with the filter active (ex: Filter "All" 1/8 - Game 1/120)

i like the idea of the filter and such ...
as of right now all the system are set to retroarch so my buttons and shaders are set through RA.
and work fine

im thinking of making the platforms smaller and fitting in a bought 20
thats the only problem it is what it is with this style theme  just wanted to try it and it works good..
