So I've been tinkering with the idea of a vertical theme that uses game carts.

It's been on my to do list but the prospect of maintaining yet another repo and making icons solo doesn't interest me.

I have a unfinished version of the theme(based on my Lumia theme) and just made a handful of icons as a test.

As you can see this is just a vanilla (ish) theme with a small handful of icons.
There are places I can work out how to apply the roundness but overall I think it looks awesome.

Would anyone be interested in making icons?
I have a git with blank cart templates, and have made an .io site with guides how to make vertical icons

I have added a load of cart icons to nxgic repo too.
Obviously I won't get everyone of the games so please feel free to use the template to make your own.

Remember images need to be 256*256
Non progressive jpg and keep the file size under 120kb

I also wrote a helpful guide on making custom icons too
https://sodasoba1.github.io/diy/

I also made a cart theme and all my other themes are here;

And here are the nxtheme files & JSON files;

How are you making the icons ? Is it just a matter of editing images? You could probably automate the process a bit with Python

I see you have a template blank game cart image already which helps a ton

yes. just edit in a photo editor app, make it to 256x256 and the size is not more than 128kb.

just like me, i used photo editing app on my phone and send it via ftpd and look for the tid of the game. make a folder and name it (tid) of the game and paste the icon there oh and make sure to rename the jpg file to icon.jpg

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Stremio ruined my need for nas
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I stream from Nas to firestick, one on every tv, and use Kodi. I'm happy w it, plays everything. (I pirate/torrent shows/movies on pc, and put on nas)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What the hell is Kodi reposts? what do you mean, or "Wut?" -xdqwerty
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    That's where stremio comes to play never got a letter about it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
