Artist For Pmenu Skins Wanted

cpasjuste > can we change the font size / color ?

other notes :
the gui.cfg file is not read when switching themes.
the application crashes when a file (a theme pic) is not present.

Thanks for the reports. I'v put a link to a new version in first post, with the changes you asked. (oops, ommited the "the gui.cfg file is not read when switching themes.", working on it right now );

"./run.sh" still does nothing, and
"LD_LIBRARY_PATH="./libs/" gdb ./pmenu" followed by "r" yields "Program exited with code 0377.", nothing more, nothing less. (even when I try setting breakpoints in main.c)

:unsure: Should I continue my pixelart skin ?

So great, love it, sure continue ! I did update to a new version again on first post with the gui.cfg file not read bug. Should make your life easier for skinning.

Just a small tip: Don't use any non-standard fonts that won't exist on the Pandora. But I'm sure that you know that already, right?

Why would you not want to use non-standard fonts that won't exist on the pandora ?

"LD_LIBRARY_PATH="./libs/" gdb ./pmenu" followed by "r" yields "Program exited with code 0377.", nothing more, nothing less. (even when I try setting breakpoints in main.c)

In order to solve this issue, I checked back in the SDK's PDF and noticed there were some extra dev packages that needed installed that I missed.

sudo apt-get install libglut3-dev -y
sudo apt-get install libglew-dev -y
sudo apt-get install glew-utils -y

Random feedback:

It often does not register my keystrokes.
It quits when I click the mouse into it.

The image zoom animation is a bad idea. It makes browsing the game list very hard to use if you are actually looking for game.

Hi Spirit.

I did fix the exit on click, posted a link on first post. For your keystroke problem, it's just a little bug i have with my library on the PC side, it don't exist on the pandora and i will fix that soon.
Else the image zoom animation is delayed, so it don't impact when browsing fast, you have some "slowdown" because of the keystroke bug cited before.

The skin includes the fonts so…… (but I will use free fonts)
By the way, I havent used any font at the moment.
I kept the cpasjuste font (that will change). And I've just draw the pixelArt one on the icons myself

This didn't resolve anything for me (but I don't use Ubuntu so my packages might be slightly different)

I DO have all the needed libraries:

Nice skin, hells_dark!

Here's my very WIP thing

 

[hells_dark]

Thanks (a lot of work remaining…),

nice begining (naw)mcx

Of course, i'll add it to the next one since i just uploaded a new release :x
Take a look at the changes on the first post !

 

[fusion_power]

Edit : another quick preview :

Interesting, now I've got an Idea of this simple GUI for the Pandora (Never watched Videos about the "Minimal-GUI" project).
I like the visible CPU clocking, is there also a Battery-Status-Display?
It seems like every application will have automaticly showing a small describing text, very nice but onto this Screenshot, the text is very short and cut of. Is there a way to see always the complete Info-Text without opening an extra Window or so? Would be more informative at first sight.

In fact the description text is scrolling so you can see the full description.

I think it would work well like this

Also, center the box at the bottom. I think that would look much nicer, then just slightly off to the side.

Ah OK, I didnt know that but it is indeed a good way to show the infos.

also a very good Idea, everything straight onto one Screen, very nice. ^_^ The Text a automatic read-out from the PXML format, right? Does this format also include a standard for readme-file-things? (only pops up on demand of course) I mean deeper game-instructions than just a quick info. The usual stuff that nobody reads (except me) but explains the Game-controls and otherhowto's. GMENU2X had a nice Textfile feature where you was able to scroll through a site and more pages, sadly, only a few coders did such a manual-file for their work (the extended manual of notas' PicoDrive for example)

 

[MDave]

Cpasjuste, can you make it so specific icons aren't hard coded to use bmp or png? The settings icon is png format, but the other icons at the top are bmp. Thanks.

No.

Ps : Sorry, i changed some name in the configuration file so it's more user friendly, hope it won't do too much work to adapt it.

Else, i'm using bmp for 16 bits RGB textures, because i'm unsure of the saved format under gimp for 16 bits RGB, and it use much less ressources than 32bits rgba.
