KRC Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 Look's good You can tell that a lot of progression has been made since GameRoom V1 was first introduced. Even though the changes are minor they make a lot of difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Thanks KRC ... it's sure been alot of hard work and time to create this theme. Now that I got my framework files finalized ... at least I hope so. I can start working on the game and system themes. Here are a couple Daphne game themes I finished tonight Astron Belt and Badlands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRC Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I thought the Banner style logo's were just for systems but it's cool how they are for games aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Well sort of..... unfortunately with the limitations of GameEx the individual game themes can't have banners. So with the individual game banners I have incorporated them into the game theme itself if that makes any sense at all.This is why we need the ability to have more objects to be displayed in our themes. Then I could have individual game banners. Request has already been mentioned a long time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 Since KRC mentioned to me about the Gameroom v2 framework file. Attached is the psd file to be able to create the individual game themes. [NOTE]- The video box will need to be transparent however I made it black so you could create your own borders around it then you will need to cut out the black box for the video or else the video will not show thru.- Also I made all the colors white but you can go in and change those colors to whatever you want. You can cut those colors out as well and make a custom graphical background if you so choose. This theme I made it so you could customize it much more than the first one. As you can see I even added a bit of dimensions to my bezels using a plugin in Paint.net.[uPDATE]- Fixed the Banner Bezel. Forgot to include the shadowing around the inside of the bezel.

KRC Posted June 16, 2013 Share Posted June 16, 2013 Looking good, One thing I like about this theme is how the Title is in the banner, it gives free space to the rest of the theme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted June 16, 2013 Author Share Posted June 16, 2013 Hopefully I can get the rest of the Daphne themes done today! This one noone has probally seen before in any other frontend before ... an exclusive to GameEx! All done with Paint.net my friends! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakerman Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 Ok guys I deleted all previous screenshots and the framework file as I am working on a whole new layout and let me tell you I think you will be suprised. Stay tuned as I almost got my layout files done and I am testing it out and should have an updated screenshot soon!I'm really excited about this as it is 100x better than before. You want to talk about progression KRC well I think this updated theme will deliver on that thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Ok guys here is my latest WIP! It's still in early beta stages but it's coming along nicely .... What do you think so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Early WIP of my MAME theme featuring Pac-Man. Decided to test out what individual game themes can look like.[uPDATE] See below for updated screenshots! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeClassics Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Wow, absolutely amazing !!!I was really hoping you would incorporate a gamelist. I loved everything about your V1 theme apart from not being able to scroll quickly to the system / game of your choice. This is really looking good Great work !3 questions for you...: 1. could you also add the little game-icons when selecting a game ? Like in the screenshot below. That would really make it a perfect theme 2. When you select a game in your V2-theme will GameEx show the default game menu options like below ? That would be most ideal I really like all of these options. Especially the hi-score menu option...3. incorporating a hi-score rss-feed would be making it a theme from heaven . I welcome you to read / follow the discussion about such a feed in the Hi-Score Database Manager thread > linkHope to hear from you !GC[you are, of course, more than welcome to join our Hi-Score Competition It's very simple > choose a game, follow the rules of post #1 of that game and submit your hi-score The more the merrier ---> link ] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 @GimmeClassics ...1 & 2 are now implemented! Each MAME game can have it's own theme (just like the original) as you can see I could even change the whole color scheme if I wanted too. Also no more screen flashing (Black) between game themes like the original Gameroom theme did. I will look into your last request about the rss feeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeClassics Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 This is looking amazing. Really looking forward to these individual game themes This has a greate chance of becoming my most favorite theme !!!About the rss feed > just follow the discussion in the thread-link I gave you What I last suggested is having / creating a rss-scroller for each game participating in our hi-score competition. Let's wait and see what is possible...Keep up the good work GC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRC Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Looks a lot different than before, looking forward to how this one pans out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Here is screenshot of the Atari 2600 theme (WIP). This theme is compatible with Hyperspin's cart wheel images. So you can use those to display your cart labels in this theme. I have also made a ton of custom labels that aren't available even on Hyperspin. The total number of cart labels I have is 637 including Homebrew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 @KRC with Tom and the guys working on updating GameEx's Graphic/Theme Engine I decided I didn't want to put a ton of work and effort into the theme and then have to switch over to the new system and start all over. So I am making this much easier to use with all of GameEx features enabled and much more user friendly to setup as well. So you won't have to modify your current setups to get it to work. @GC Well I could do individual themes for the console/handheld/computer systems but I decided against it (see my comments to KRC above why). However MAME will be the only system that will have the ability to do individual game themes at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However MAME will be the only system that will have the ability to do individual game themes at this time.I think just going ahead with MAME Themes and leaving the Console/Handheld/PC game themes out is probably a smart move. It makes a change seeing a list in your theme's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeClassics Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 @Krak: If you could do individual Mame themes I'd be very happy Classic games rule !How do you select the Mame-games for which you create individual themes ? Maybe a bald request but could I (and others) perhaps suggest Mame-games ? I'd very much like to see my favorites with a cool individual gametheme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
