I created this theme for my own personal use, using the AMBuilder tool, and some manual tweaking of the .nut file afterward.
It is a 1920X1080 horizontal resolution theme. I can't seem to get the automatic scaling to work properly with the tool; so I mostly customized and tweaked it for my needs around my resolution after the initial creation. I used simple alpha channel layering and stylized text placement to make the theme.
- For 1920x1080 horizontal resolution setups
- Snap/Video Snap Preview Panel with list number count
- Wheel Art Panel
- Manufacturer, Year, Player Count, and Genre Support (If catver.ini is properly loaded)
- Stylized Fonts Included (Emulogic,SFAlienEncounters,Streamster) - These are suitable for personal use only.
- Video Playback is set to silent
- 80's theme using era specific vibrant colouring
There is a known bug when switching back from MAME to the AttractMode frontend, where the video has sound on return, until another list item is selected. I could reproduce this reliably and could not find a solution to this, although I know other themes have had this issue as well.
It isn't perfect, but I haven't seen a theme similar to anything like this; and may only be useful to some that have horizontal 1080P setups. I have only tested this with the Attract 2.3.0 release; so it may not work on earlier releases reliably.
Thanks goes to the AMBuilder tool, which helped layout the initial code so I could tweak it. It seems that there are some design translation issues on the tool with the latest version of Chrome; but I'll add that feedback in again once I take a third crack at it on an alternate browser.
Thanks,
