A simple theme for Emulation Station for small TFT screens

TFT, an EmulationStation theme made for small screens

This is very much a work in progress =)

I am building a portable and wanted to take a shot a creating a theme that fits the size of a TFT screen (specifically 320x240 resolution)

Design wise I am going for a layout that gives a small glimpse of the game selected and removes all other metadata to keep the views light.

Details

  • This theme will only work on the latest version of retropie/ES with z-index support
  • Designed and tested at 320x240 resolution
  • Support for system, basic, detailed and video views
  • Detail view works best with game screenshots (please scrape screenshots instead of boxart to get the look seen in the image above)
  • If using on a pi1/zero please scrape game screenshots only (I have found videos only play smoothly on pi2/3)
  • A matching splashscreen is included in the _inc/images folder

Acknowledgments

  • Thank you to @jdrassa for fixing an issue in ES that allowed this layout to be possible
  • All controller graphics are from the default Carbon theme made by Eric Hettervik (see: https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-carbon/)

Possible Future Updates

  • UXS profiles to streamline scraping
