While we’re at it, if it’s possible to alter the menus that would be cool to know as well. I believe I had seen something on it before. The main reason for me is the colour and a bit of the styling on the menu doesn’t match my theme, and even if I could invert the menu to be black with white or light grey text would be a bit better for my over all look.

Let’s say you are using the Simple Theme

The XML file would be under

/themes/simple

in that folder should be simple.xml

As for the assets folder that’s just his naming style, you could name it whatever you want, just create a folder and put the file in there and make sure the folder name you made matches the one in the xml.

Although if you customize different skins for each system you’d likely need to edit each individual console theme xml as well to match.

Hey,

I’ve made an intro video for my pie and when it boots up I get this weird green and dotted lines at the bottom. I’ll try and take a photo next time I think of it, but when running the video through oxplayer it works fine, it’s only during the boot sequence that these weird markings come up.

Has anyone else had this issue when making a video intro?

NM

edited etc/sudoers

pi ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

now I think it works

[Keigan]

Actually after a reboot it comes back. Anyone know what I can do to stop the prompt?

[Keigan]

NM I fixed it with

sudo passwd

[Keigan]

modify logo and menu emulationstation

Did you alter any of the XML files in the themes folder? I know when I was working on my custom themes any time I made an edit to an XML that it didn’t like, this is how it would look.

Anything like missing images, or fonts, or folders, it would cause this to happen.

I know it’s a silly question, but, is the resolution of your screen actually 1920 x 1080? My screen is 1920 x 1200 so if I use a 1920 x 1080 image it won’t look right.

There are 2 background files in your xml file.

To make a different background for each emulator you need to change the background link under <view name=”basic, detailed”>.

Under <view name=”system> you need to leave the path to your blur photo.

Here is the first part of my custom theme xml file.

<view name=”system”>
<image name=”background” extra=”true”>
<path>./art/nes_main.jpg</path>
</image>
<image name=”logo”>
<path>./art/nes2.svg</path>
</image>
<helpsystem name=”help”>
<fontSize>0.02</fontSize>
<fontPath>./../art/tradegothic.ttf</fontPath>
<textColor>2F2F2F4D</textColor>
<iconColor>2F2F2F4D</iconColor>
<pos>0.01 0.975</pos>
</helpsystem>
</view>
<view name=”basic, detailed”>
<image name=”background” extra=”true”>
<path>./art/nes.png</path>
<size>0 1</size>
<pos>0.5 0.5</pos>
<origin>0.5 0.5</origin>
</image>
</view>

As you can see I have 2 backgrounds set up. 1 For the main screen and 1 for the game list section.

Hope this helps.
