[download] NEVATO theme

[boon_nz]

Hi Verion,

Yup, that fixed it. It looks great thanks.

Do you have a recommended source for the 'fan art' shown in your demo video? That would be the finishing touch.

[verion]

there is no "ultimate" source for fanart - AFAIK
you have to hunt it down one by one

My method is to find a good image (usualy poster/flyer) and crop it to 16:9 size

----

And you can always use flyer as a background art - AM does pretty good job with scrapping flyers.

I love the purple theme you have as you tube , it looks very clean and classy till then I'm happy with neato and robspin

[verion]

Thanks, this purple theme (VELVET) has it's own thread now - http://forum.attractmode.org/index.php?topic=618.0

Can this work with missing wheel images?
Instead of "?" display game title in text?

[verion]

No - wheel art is a crucial part of the design. You just have to download your missing artwork.

I was thinking about adding simple (text) list as an alternative - maybe I'll add it in next revision if there will be a demand for it.

[NLS]

It's not a matter of WANTING to download. Much artwork simply does not exist.

[verion]

Really? Well... I use only mame and I have no problem with finding a wheel art for every game I have. But I guess it's not that easy for other emulators - right?
In that case I'll add game list in text as a fail-safe solution for other emulators.

Something like if wheel image name = default.png
 then print title

Thank you for this theme, it's gorgeous!!

I wanted to display a little more info (release year) so tried hacking it in by alternating the play count with a timer, I think it stays pretty true to spirit of the theme while packing a little more info in: https://gist.github.com/anonymous/122d003ab47f9a88f9d285ef0a194a0d

[verion]

I'm glad you like it.

[bionictoothpick]

Benjr, can you post the revised layout.nut in addition to the diff file?

Another request for the name being used when wheel art doesn't exist. I use AM for lots of systems wherein there often isn't wheel art.

Question regarding odd behaviour though. I'm seeing the wrong system being used in the background or for missing-wheel-art. For example on Amiga it's using a picture of a PSP, on MAME/Arcade it's using a Nintendo DS. What would cause that?

[verion]

That whole wheel art code is made by omegaman and it's copied from robospin theme.

I've asked omegaman if he can change the code to display game name if the wheel art is missing and he made (a valid) point that you just have to men up and find wheel graphics for all your games - if you want to use that wheel. I'm completely agree with him (plus it's a lot of work). That missing wheel art icon should be only temporary indicator what is missing so you can hunt it down.

But (and this is a big but) in omegaman's theme you can choose simple list instead of wheel selector (as an option).
I've decided not to use the list because:
a) I'm using only mame - so there is no problem with collecting all wheel art (now I know that for other emu it doesn't look that great)
b) I have fairly small set of games - all with wheel graphics

But since it is a problem for other users I'm gonna add text gamelist as an option in next revision.

When? I don't know yet since I'm currently really really busy with making the whole set of designs for VR arcade gamehouse - fotoshoot, website, collaterals, posters, etc. and it's a lot of work with a tight deadline (end of this month).

But I'll add it - I promise.
