SILKY Theme v0.6.9 beta

[SuperMagicom]

This theme looks superb. SuperMagicom did you get this to run on an RPi3? I compiled AM from source to get the latest fixes but when I choose this as layout and enter the display AM hangs and I will have to restart the Pi.

Yes, I did.  I think I just  updated AM from within the app itself.

You need to ask someone on the forum, I have only windows binaries.

There's an option right inside the Attract Mode settings menu to update.

No mate, I don't mind at all, just leave a note in the comment what you have used so people can find my theme.

I noticed on the Raspberry Pi 3 is that it takes about five seconds to load into the theme after selecting a system.  Not sure if that is a limitation of the Pi hardware or if it's normal behavior given all of the involved theme media.

I use only one system, so I cannot check that. Are your snaps and artwork on the ssd, hdd or sd card?

Everything is on the SD Card (Samsung EVO+).  I did some testing and it's the conveyor that's causing the slow loading.  I might experiment with removing it and expanding the size of the listbox.

I'm also trying this on a Pi3.  It would be really great if there was an option to disable the conveyor especially if it sped things up.  Also I'm on a arcade monitor (800x600) so another useful option would be the font size of the game list.  A slightly bigger font would be helpful in my case.

Really great looking theme.  Thanks.

No worries, I can add few more tweaks. Give me a few days.

Wow...that was quick!  Just tested it and big improvement on a 4x3 monitor. I attached an image of what it looks like.  The only issue left is that it is still a bit slow scrolling through the games (on a RaspPi 3).  I think it is because of the flyer.  I tested Robospin and even though the flyer is shown in the background it scrolls very smoothly I think because it delays the loading of the flyer until the scrolling stops.  When I scroll in Silky it seems to be loading it on every one I scroll by.  For example when the flyer is shown and you start scrolling you can see them switch as the text comes scrolling in.

Overall great theme.  Thanks for everything.

You are right, thanks for bringing it to my attention. I will fix it later tonight as my daughter is occupying my pc atm.
