[download] NEVATO theme

[Brewski]

Great Job! I love it. 

[verion]

Thanks!

I'm pretty surprised that no-one is reporting any issues with the theme (except a few initial quirks). But maybe it just works

Your theme is great! I love it!
The only little "issue" I noticed is that when you enable the video in both the art background and the cab screen, the 2 videos play the audio at the same time, I added a condition in the script to cut the audio in one of them, but I guess you could maybe fix the problem in a "clean" way for everyone .

[verion]

Well... I didn't see that coming - 2 videos at once. But why not
Can you upload fixed layout.nut? I'll update the download for everyone else.

NEVATO looks great on the Raspberry Pi2. I haven't tried it with any videos though.

[verion]

For RPi you it's better to use videos in avi (coded with XviD) - not mp4. RPi is great with decoding videos as media player with hardware acceleration - but unfortunately AM plays videos without hardware acceleration so mp4 video is very CPU intensive.

Did my low-res version of this theme resolved your previous issues with GPU ram?

[bionictoothpick]

No, the low res version still wouldn't load on the windows 10 laptop...However after installing lubuntu it works fine.

I know you weren't expecting anyone to enable the video on the background and the cabinet at the same time, but it looks great actually. 

I attached the layout.nut file with the modification.

Line 384 it was:

Code: [Select]

cabScreen.video_flags = videoSound;
and now it is:

Code: [Select]

if ( my_config["cabScreenType"] == "video" && my_config["enable_bg_art"] == "video" )
{
cabScreen.video_flags = Vid.NoAudio;
}
else cabScreen.video_flags = videoSound;
Please double-check what I've done, I don't want to mess-up your theme

[verion]

Thanks - I'll check it out and update download.

Just wanted to let you know that the theme seems to break at 1360x768 resolution, any ideas how to fix it for this resolution? I can remove the comments in the .nut to set the size to 1920x1200 and that shows the theme correctly for me, although i'm not sure if thats messing up the aspect ratios somewhat.

[verion]

that is a strange resolution - like "almost" 16:9
I have to change the code to be more fuzzy-logic when detecting aspects that are little off-specs.

You should be ok if you uncomment line 76 and 77

For 16:9 aspect it should look like (it doesn't matter if it doesn't match your screen resolution):
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
fe.layout.width = 1920;
fe.layout.height = 1080;

Let me know if it helps.

Cheers, that sorts it out!

My favourite theme for now....

the option to have both, marquee and emulator-name would be nice!
like if marquee is missing, it show emulator-name-marquee

Thanks!

You can! Simply place an image file with the name of the emulator in to your marquee directory. For example, your emulator is named "mame" in AM, go into your marquee directory and put an image in there with the filename "mame.png" (or whatever image type) and AM will automatically use that in cases where it cant find a match for the game name.

chrisvg : you're right, i did what you said and it's work!
