Krakerman Posted July 15, 2013 Author Share Posted July 15, 2013 Having a text centering issue with the "Sort by" feature so I am redesigning the themes layout with some new improvements as well. Adding in GimmieClassics Hi-Score RSS feed to the theme as well. Should have it up and running by tomorrow night at least a few themes I hope. I'll post a pic of it then.

Thank you Krak for adding the hi-score RSS feed Honors go to Adultery for creating this feed for our Hi-Score Competition.

Krakerman Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 No problem! Here is the new frontend with the RSS Feed. This screen thou will not have the High Score feed as I'll put that on the MAME theme. Had to change the menu graphics so you can use the "Sort by" feature fully without text overlapping the graphics. However you can't justify or center the menu text unfortunately. Changed the framework which includes the new RSS news box. Tweaked the graphics a bit overall. Now that my framework file is done I can start on the emulator themes now.Yes Adultery has been the awesome! He just released the QuickLaunch Plugin and wow! that works great!!! Should check it out. I use it to add Multi-Monitor support with the help of Display Fusion. So all my monitors can display any image when I run a game and not limited to just 1.Anyways I'm trying to enable most of the features that GameEx has to offer with this theme and keep it retro as well.

celly Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Updated the TG-16 theme just for you Celly! Schweet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Going to have to update it again to add in the RSS feed. Glad you liked it figured you would. I might be adding in the date/time as well as I have an idea for that, but not sure if this theme really needs it unless you guys want it in there same goes with the weather I will leave it out as it kinda doesn't go with this theme really unless of course you think I should add it in.

Krakerman Posted July 17, 2013 Author Share Posted July 17, 2013 Ok here is the updated look. Moved the RSS Feed and added in the Date and Time and a few tweaks to the graphics and with an updated Gameroom logo. Now that I think I finally minted the layout I can move on and start working on MAME, Daphne and the rest of the systems.[uPDATE]Before I head off to bed I added the banner logos into the theme!

Krakerman Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Ok so with the date & time at the bottom I decided to add in the weather icon to see how it would look. I think it will work out nicely between the two and not detract from the overall feel of the theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 Started on the MAME theme tonight! with the included Hi-Score RSS feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Wow! Just... wow! What are you doing different than me that makes your rss display properly? Mine doesn't always change, sometimes it stays on the main feed no matter what page I'm on.That looks really nice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Hahaha Not sure what your doing but I just put my hi-score feed into the "_scroller" and the "mameselect_scroller" file. Tonight I am finishing up the Visual Pinball theme. This theme I added in the Pinball News RSS feed for this theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GimmeClassics Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Hahaha Not sure what your doing but I just put my hi-score feed into the "_scroller" and the "mameselect_scroller" file. Could you perhaps upload your scroller files for Adultery to look at ? I am also having a few issues with this feed as you may have read in the hi-score rss thread Thanks!

Krakerman Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Well if he needs it but I'm sure he already has the done the same thing. I also in the setup wizard added in the Hi-Score feed under the News Feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakerman Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 Future Pinball WIP. Added a new Pinball RSS feed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GimmeClassics Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 Future Pinball theme is looking nice ! I should really look into setting up Future Pinball.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 If you like pinball then you should. There are some just amazing Future Pinball tables. If you have multi monitors then it supports that as well as it allows you to put the backglass on any monitor with it's built in multi monitor support.

GimmeClassics Posted July 20, 2013 Share Posted July 20, 2013 What do you think is the best Pinball Emulator to use: Future Pinball, Visual Pinball, PinballX (by Tom) or another one ? From what I understand hi-score support has recently been enabled in PinballX !! This is an option I really like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krakerman Posted July 20, 2013 Author Share Posted July 20, 2013 PinballX is just like GameEx it's a digital pinball frontend for running Visual/Future Pinball tables it's not a sim/emulator. I like both Visual and Future pinball both are totally different thou. Just watch some youtube videos of both to see the difference.Today I am finishing up the 2600 theme. Using the Atari RSS Feed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krakerman Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 My main computer is down as I have been having a few issues with it and so I'm in the process of moving everything over to my backup computer but this one has Win 8 on it so it may be a little while before I get back up and running again.

Krakerman Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 It's not that bad ... I am already up and running on Win 8 Pro and have GameEx running. Nice thing with these computers I have swapable HD bays so they just plug in without taking the computers apart. Just have to re-install a few programs. My Win 8 computer is just a tad slower than the one that went down, but I swapped the video cards out since the NVidia GTX670 is faster than my ATI HD7870 but that only took a 5 mins.
