Link138 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) I love these themes, but I am having a problem with the Sega Saturn version. The spinning/rotating game discs look odd because they all have a white square border around them. Is there any way to stop the rotation?

DOS76 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I believe if your disc have the white square border you need to get images with transparent backgrounds instead of the ones you currently have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link138 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Where do I find those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 That I couldn't say I just remember telling me they were either sourcing them or removing the backgrounds themselves can't remember which it was. @Charco maybe you can help set him straight with some details 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charco Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I am not sure about the CoverBox theme as I have never used it, I use the Unified theme, and in that theme there is a view that shows the box and the disc and the disc does not rotate. That won't get rid of the non-transparent backgrounds in your image though, just make them less horrible looking. I have edited my Saturn disc images that had non-transparent backgrounds by using paint.NET. It's a free editing tool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTRL-ALT-DEFEAT Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 (edited) Just my offering with some instructions since I'm not familiar with Paint.NET: Download and install GIMP (it's free) https://www.gimp.org/downloads/ Open your Saturn disc images File -> Open Once it's opened, go to Layer -> Transparency -> Add Alpha Channel Use either the Fuzzy Select tool or Free Select tool from the Tool Box: Fuzzy Select: Free Select: If using Fuzzy Select, just click in a white area and then press the Delete key to remove the background: Fuzzy Select will often leave undesirable "mess" in your image, so using Free Select is better as you will have more control over the area you are removing: If you make a mistake, just use Ctrl+Z to undo it. You can also zoom in if your need to by going to View -> Zoom from the ribbon at the top of the window. Once you're done with the edits, go to File -> Export As: Name the file and be sure to change the extension to PNG if it is a JPG/JPEG. JPGs do not hold an alpha layer (transparency), so the white background would just reappear if you don't change it to an image format that supports alpha channels. Choose where you want it exported to from the left-hand column: Click Export and then Export again in the next window (don't need to make any changes here for this) Now you have a disc with a transparent background, so it won't look weird in the theme. Hope this helps! You may also be able to find discs that already have an alpha by searching game name disc png, but I generally have to clean up my own.

Link138 Posted July 7, 2018 Share Posted July 7, 2018 Thanks for all the help, everyone, but I've run into a new problem. I was able to replace the disc images with transparent background versions, however, now the game boxes won't show up. Instead, a large version of the disc images is replacing the boxes. Any ideas?

FoxyMonty Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 I believe there is a missing plugin from both the NES themes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
