You can code and found a bug in the theme you can fix or want to add a feature to the theme? Or you can't code but want to add translations for your native language or you can provide some awsome artwork for the theme?

Simply have the courage and make a pull request ☺️ You can find some guidances here.

Features

• selectable color schemes dark light ozone dark

and more... You can find explanations for the theme settings here.

Metadata in use

• boxFront
• screenshot
• titlescreen (fallback for screenshot)
• wheel
• background
• video

Regarding videos on collection screen

NOTE: Videos for the collection screen are not included in the theme. You can provide them by setting a default video for your collection in the Pegasus metadata of the collection. EXAMPLE:

collection: Sony Playstation 2
shortname: ps2
assets.video: media/videos/default.mp4

Work in progress

• clean the code...
• add more language options
• add more color schemes
• revise and add new or missing backgrounds/logos for collections and manufacturers

Considerations / ideas for the future

• provide some default collection videos
  • probalby need some original assets
• per collection fallback default background images
• filter by game genres / rework filtering system
  • The current filter system can only map simple scenarios. An extended filtering system could make it easier to navigate through the collections. A separate filter menu in the game screen instead of the quick button switch would be needed..
