This is port of the AlekFull NX theme by fagnerpc for the version of EmulationStation used in ES-DE

- Removed all Batocera specific elements to make the theme compatible with ES-DE
- Updated system image names to match the standard used by ES-DE
- Added a 16:10 Layout Variant

The theme allows customizations to artwork without the need to edit the source XML. This enables you to change the look of the theme and still retain any changes when the root theme is updated.
- Make sure
Light (Custom Artwork)
orDark (Custom Artwork)
is selected fromMenu > UI Settings > Theme Variant
- This setting changes the directories that the theme looks for artwork in and sets up the ability for you to add custom artwork.
- Create a folder called
custom-backgrounds
in ES-DE's theme directory at:ES-DE/themes/alekfull-nx-es-de/_inc/systems
- Upload your custom background images to that folder
- They can be named:
- _default.jpg
- ${system.theme}.jpg
_default.jpg
can be used for creating a single image that is used for all systems OR a fallback for systems that you did not create a custom image for.${system.theme}.jpg
should be named for the system you are looking to override. For example if you wanted to override the artwork forsnes
you would create an image calledsnes.jpg
in the backgrounds folder.- If a given ${system.theme}.jpg image is not found it will use _default.jpg image so make sure to at least create that image.
- Create a folder called
custom-carousel-icons
in ES-DE's theme directory at:ES-DE/themes/alekfull-nx-es-de/_inc/systems
- Upload your custom carousel icons to that folder
- They can be named:
- ${system.theme}.jpg
${system.theme}.jpg
should be named for the system you are looking to override. For example if you wanted to override the artwork forsnes
you would create an image calledsnes.jpg
in the backgrounds folder.
