looking for additional system images

[ravensvoice]

Would love to get system pages/images for Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Colecovision, Intellivision and Atari Jaguar.

Atari Lynx is also missing an image.

Sorry I don't plan on adding more images unless the original author decides to create some new ones. My photoshop-fu is very weak so creating a new image is really only feasible for me IF I can find a good source image, which often takes hours of scouring the internet, then further hours of touchups. And I usually don't find a good source image.

I am open to wholly replacing all images if someone can suggest a good source with more images, where they are all following a cohesive design and they look good with the theme. I am a stickler for quality and I only want the best for the theme.

[plaidman]

I'm going to leave this issue open so people can use it to suggest theme images if they find good ones

@plaidman can you make the pages for them, with the years and everything?

Currently I'm using images I pulled from here: https://themizarkshow.com/portfolio/vector-controllers/ for those systems but don't know if you could use them. Thanks!

[plaidman]

I noticed those controllers while I was searching for sources previously and they look great, but sadly he is missing some key systems that would make it just a lateral move if I shifted over to using those images.

I do have an item in my todo list to add more years and colors for the systems I'm missing (I'm going to use emulationstation themes as a resource for which systems to do), I might move that up, even if they don't have images

[ravensvoice]

Even if it's just the pages that would be huge for me. You are a rockstar and the changes you've made are amazing. Thanks!

[plaidman]

@ravensvoice I added some of the more popular systems ready to go for the next release. if you want, you can grab this file if you want to pull in these changes beforehand.

@plaidman line 103 needs a colon after 'odyssey2' but besides that it works great, thanks! You are the best. If I come across any controller images will let you know

[plaidman]

fixed, thanks!

Here's an Atari Lynx one that I use. It's very close to the style of the current ones (imo) if maybe not quite perfect.

I also usually make copies of the arcade stick for Naomi & Atomiswave

I personally like this set which looks nice here in this theme as well: https://www.reddit.com/r/miniSNESmods/comments/79y521/my_updated_custom_folders/

[plaidman]

@pjankulovski that one is too dark and shiny around the screen area. reflections are super subdued on this theme, if at all.

@alexb78 those folders look awesome, and this is exactly the type of thing I'm looking for, but this particular package is missing some very popular systems like DS and Dreamcast. I may include some extra incomplete packages like these in a separate directory to give some easy access options if people want to switch.

[plaidman]

@alexb78 I looked through the guy's post history and it turns out he updated his folder pack and added images for more systems. I'll probably go ahead and bring in his changes!

Yeah.. https://www.reddit.com/r/miniSNESmods/comments/9a28i7/custom_folders_update/

[plaidman]

my next update will include image packs that include more images (up to 70 systems in one of the packs) and metadata for each.

[alexb78]

I have added another set to my repo I liked having it in Arc Browser. Its the well known set from "Ruckage" which is more pixel style. Maybe needs some resizing because the icons become a bit blurry without adjustments. Can provide it as a pull request as well.

[plaidman]

@alexb78 check DEVICES.md, specifically at the bottom where it's talking about CollectionItem.qml. there's a setting to adjust smoothing when resizing you can turn it off to make pixel themes look better. I'll see if I can find that theme package and maybe include it in a future update.

I replaced the RP2 image on the Android collection with an AYN Odin picture I did up, since that's the device I'm using. Would be cool to have it included with the theme and swappable via UI option, but Odin users are probably a minority of people using this theme.
