    Hi,

    I created a Pac-Man theme based on Tron theme. It is my first theme, so do not get your hopes too high ;-)

    I put it here:

    Hope you like it! Please send me you feedback or ideas for improvements.

    Regards,
    Murilo

    I haven't had a chance to throw it on my pi yet, but just going through the images that come with it, it looks pretty good. I like the background image!

    Coll!
    I included the Gimp version of some images (.xcf) so it is easy to change them.
    I copied the sound files from the default theme.

    @mholgatem, that fixed it! Thanks for the help and for the tip about changing the theme using the web interface

    @murilo, very cool theme! The images and icons you used all work very well together and the layout is very user friendly as well. Only problem I've seen so far is the pacman font doesn't display numbers, so my IP isn't able to be displayed correctly. Otherwise it all looks good so far

    @dollerbill, Thanks for the compliments! And sorry for the incovenience, as I said this is my first Theme.

    I messed things up, the proper correction is not to change the theme.yaml, but to delete the .otf font file and replace it by the correct .ttf file.

    I uploaded a new version with the fix:

    Regarding the numbers not being displayed this is very odd, the pac-man fount is not used on the rendering, it was just used for the artwork, the fount used for rendering (defaut.ttf) does have numbers and they do appear on the screen for me.

    Here is the screen shot:

    Cheers!

    @mholgatem is there a way to define where the menu icons align in the grid setup? I would like to use 1 column of menu items but have it align on the right side of the screen. I tried adding a 'menu_item_align: right' in the first set of options but the column still centers itself. Anyway around this?
  • mholgatemmholgatem
    as of 8beta9, no. What you could do is make really wide transparent menu icons and then align the image on the right hand side of those icons. It wouldn't be a true 'right justified' since smaller screen resolutions would cut it off. If it's just for your own personal arcade though, you could probably get it looking pretty close to what you want.

    is it possible to change order of icons? For example I want that the first one is "shutdown". Thank you
  • dollerbill
    That is a good question. @mholgatem, would changing the order in theme.yaml work here?

    Ok thanks a lot for the answer!
