I'm still doing changes. Trying to make the views different to each other so there would be more variation. I'm also testing this a lot more, so I don't need to make patches once I publish. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thimolor Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 Final preview. Did some major last minute changes. Now I'm going to test this for a few days. Might publish next saturday if all goes well. 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Really enjoy that preview video. Got a few views in there that are definitely something I'll probably sub into use in my own set up. I enjoy the more subdued minimalistic approach to your themes quite a bit. It's been pretty cool to watch your skills grow as you get more comfortable with your tool set. If this is just the beginning it'll be cool to see where you end up. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have always been wanting a theme that meshed together the very clean and thoughtful look of Colorful with a mature, radical look of others here. There is zero clutter here and it looks stellar. Here is a thought: have you ever considered using the game clear logo in place of the game title in text? That is something I wish Colorful did. Granted, this is easily modifiable for us users thanks to the modularity of community theme builder. But I feel that using the game logo in the place of text for the game title would evoke the feeling of the game more.

Thank you for the kind words. I think this might actually be the ending for me once I'm finished. Might return if tools and software evolve to a point where anything is possible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I feel that using the game logo in the place of text for the game title would evoke the feeling of the game more. I know there is some demand for the logos. The thing with the logos is that usually a double logo is considered bad design (same logo visible on the boxart), the other problem with logos are the variations in dimensions. For example if I would replace the title with logo, it would not look balanced because the sizes vary so much. Some logos would look good and some would look too small. I could try to add the logo somewhere else, like above the video where there is plenty of room. I'll give it a shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It fits in this view. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockovissi Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) How do you get the box art to show up in text view? I’m getting it as a background for each game but for other themes they show up as box art. Edited October 19, 2021 by Rockovissi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Box Art should be available to select for image type, if you are using the Community Theme Tool in GameTextView. If you are referring the BigBox options, they do not usually work with custom themes that are made with the Community Theme Tool like Pulse.

Oh, yes I’m sorry, I meant in Big Box with the Pulse theme. I saw some videos of Pulse where in the text view with details it was showing the box art. If I switch to another theme, the box art is there. So I didn’t know if I had to do something specific with Pulse. It seems it’s using the box art but pulling it as the background for each game. Like in the video posted above at the 2:08 mark. It looks like it’s the text view with a video (which I don’t scrape) and the box art (which I do).

Rockovissi Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Ahh! Then that’s my problem. Sorry. It’s looking great though and I can’t wait! I was previously using another theme for the box art would disappear after a few seconds, presumably pulling from something I never scraped. But after seeing Pulse, it’s become my new favorite theme. Love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thimolor Posted October 20, 2021 Author Share Posted October 20, 2021 Version 2.0 is now finished and ready to download: Hopefully it does not have too many bugs. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just installed it over the Pulse folder but it's the same thing for me. The box art isn't showing up for each individual game, it only has it as the background. So it's like pulling the box art but using it as the background for each game. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. It's an awesome theme though. It's no big deal if the box art isn't showing, I was just wondering if I have a setting wrong or something. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delete the whole Pulse theme folder, unzip the 2.0 and from the theme management options change theme to something else then change back to Pulse. Remember to clear image cache from options.
