Whether things have moved on since I last checked I will find out. You can move horizontally now, however it still remains you cannot reduce the row gap. 1 hour ago, lessthanzero33 said: Thank you WallMachine! no worries bud. Just quickly put this together, its not the same as the original theme in Attract Mode or the actual Arcade Machine, just working with what we got. nesica.mp4 Edited February 22, 2020 by wallmachine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shro2016 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 (edited) Thanks @lessthanzero33 and @wallmachine I am now working on updating the theme and creating a new version to include this and also incorporate any other elements now available that would be suitable for the theme. I will drop a message here when the new version is available for download but could be a couple of weeks due to other commitments at present but will make available as soon as I can. In the meantime if anyone has any suggestions of things they would also like in the theme please drop them here.

I don't know how to get the CoverFlow to work with different sized Boxart and I doubt everyone will create horizontal artwork for each Platform they have... I don't know how to fix or if we can, if someone knows let me know. Issues: - Spacing is not consistent between different sized artwork - Unable to set different heights for vertical/horizontal artwork as you can see horizontal gets squished - Unable to set height of selected game/not selected for different types of artwork to make the flow look more consistent Edited February 24, 2020 by wallmachine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can provide how you were able to get this to sit on one line horizontally that would be useful though as is a step in the right direction. I grant that spacing is going to be an issue. As for horizontal artwork I have been working on this and the theme promotes the use of Steam Banners as these do look better in this theme/layout.

shro2016 Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 @lessthanzero33 work is well underway on a new version. Hopefully it will be ready ahead of your cabinet. There are some quite major changes coming and a lot more systems supported in the new version with a greater emphasis on being used in a cabinet.

lessthanzero33 Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hi Shro2016, How is the update coming along?, haven't heard anything in awhile so i am just following up. I hope all is well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shro2016 Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Hi @lessthanzero33, all good here and theme is going well, very pleased with how it is turning out. Unfortunately it is taking a little bit longer than expected to release due to quite a bit more artwork being required to be created for this new theme than originally envisaged and it may well be that I will need to release the theme and then separate game artwork packs afterwards for this theme. I have created a complete banner pack for the Dreamcast for this theme and all Artwork for filters, platforms and genres are created. The theme is now much closer to the original Nesica theme, the main difference being just one row of game images rather than the two rows in the original interface but unfortunately that is a limitation of big box at this time. I will be progressing the theme over this weekend as time allows and hopefully will have something to show over the weekend. I may even release the theme but without all the additional artwork packs and release these later though would like to get as much artwork included with the theme as possible as feel without this it will be lacking.

I am also going to be including templates to allow for you to create your own for any not included on release of the theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
