Arcadeflow theme v 17.5 [Release] Updated 17 December 2024

[zpaolo11x]

Would love a setting to permanently set the rotation. Can't figure out how to get AM to save it.

I have no idea how to do it in AttractMode. My theme detects the screen orientation and changes accordingly, and you can then rotate the screen with the hotkeys. You have a cocktail cabinet?

thanks, good color, good theme, il like.

I have snaps and videosnaps paths both under the “snap” artwork for mame.

I've been able to replicate the issue: it seems my theme has issues if I link to the original snaps with no aspect ratio correction. Strange, investigating

Version 2.4 is out, and now it adapts the aspect ratio of thumbs automatically. This was a huge rewrite in many aspects (backgrounds etc) so if you see anything strange please let me know.

Also added CRT filters to the game preview in the history page!

Cool theme. I'm using it on my computer.

Something like this:

Code: [Select]

class UserConfig {
</ label="Screen Rotate", help="Swap X/Y dimensions for rotated screens",
options="Yes,No" />
rotated="No";
}

local layoutSettings = fe.get_config();

switch (layoutSettings["rotated"]){
case "No":
        fe.layout.width = ScreenWidth;
        fe.layout.height = ScreenHeight;
        fe.layout.orient = RotateScreen.None;
        break;
case "Yes" :
        fe.layout.width = ScreenHeight;
        fe.layout.height = ScreenWidth;
    fe.layout.orient = RotateScreen.Right;
        break;
};

How do I exit from the game history view? If I press excape while showing history, I get the Attract exit screen behind the history.

Something like this:

Oh ok, actually what I meant was I don't know if AM has a setting for starting with a rotation, or just hotkeys. I'll implement the rotation in the next version.

This is strange, if you press the escape key it should exit the history screen and go back to the main UI. Are you on 2.4 or some nightly build? I'll double check on Windows (AF 2.4 was tested on a Mac only) and see what's the issue.

[EDIT] Do you have the history plugin enabled? I think it might clash with the history implementation of AF

I was mistaken: the reason why I replicated the issue is because I changed the snaps folder and it looked exactly like your screenshots. Could you try with Arcadeflow 2.4 if the issue is still there?

Arcadeflow 2.5 is out (just one day after 2.4 LOL) because I wanted to implement this feature! Test it and let me if it works as you expected!

[zpaolo11x]

Arcadeflow 2.6 is out with a new "frosted glass" menu background!

Enjoy and report any bugs!

[Luke_Nukem]

Another release! You're a machine!

LOL actually this should've been release 2.5, but I had the rotation option ready and I thought I was not going to fix frosted glass so soon... maybe I should use "minor" release numbers

[zpaolo11x]

Updated to 2.7 but it seems I'm unable to upload the archive... You can download it from github: https://github.com/zpaolo11x/Arcadeflow-AM-Theme/releases

UPDATE: I was able to upload the correct file in the first post

Main new feature of this version: you can define a custom resolution independent from your screen resolution. Good for testing purposes or if for whatever reason you need a different aspect ratio. In the picture a 4:3 layout on a 16:10 screen (with black pillars)

[zpaolo11x]

Updated to 2.8, I promise I'll slow down now I just wanted to release the new and improved cross-fade method so the background will "jump" less abruptly when you are changing game while the cross-fade is still going on.

Enjoy and report bugs or issues!

It's very impressive how much work and updates you put into this theme but bro, how about a new original theme next?  Pretty please?     Seriously, you have amazing talent and I personally feel that it's a shame that you aren't making more varied themes!
