THEME: simplified static canela v2.0 [OBSOLETE]

[robertybob]

[quote=101113]I’m having dark bars covering much of the menu screen after I scrape for a system.

I’m using the current version of your theme (first link on the first post) and Retropie 3.0 Beta 4.
I have no problem diving into the xmls and tweaking numbers to make it work for me, but I took a look and couldn’t find which setting might be the issue.

Another very easy issue. I want to be able to see the number of players for each game. Is that just a matter of changing it’s position to make only that bit of info show?

Thanks in advance!

@ronoh55 I believe this is definitely down to your resolution. The theme works perfectly well on my 39″ TV but when I run:

emulationstation --resolution 1024 1024 for example, the bars appear. This does not happen with the Simple theme.

*edit*
As an experiment, quit ES and go to the command line, enter

emulationstation --resolution 1024 768
(4:3 aspect ratio)
and you should get black bars,

then try:

emulationstation --resolution 1024 576
(16:9 aspect ratio)
and this should work ok

sorry your having issues with the theme, as robertyrob says we think this is down to screen resolutions, I have not experienced these issues so don’t feel I could comment on the issue as of yet, and I’ll have a look when I get home

This worked exactly as you said it should. 16:9 aspect ratio gets rid of the bars.

@InsecureSpike If you find anything it would be appreciated.
