[Request] Material Skin

Postby Dunjamon » Fri Aug 04, 2017 4:17 pm

I've seen a couple of similar apps on the play store that don't have the functionality of RetroX; but look pretty nice. I use the app on Android TV and it would be nice to a skin that looks similar. Maybe with a row at the top for recently played games, and then the others below. Arc Broswer and Gamesome are 2 nice looking apps.

That's a big change and it will require to rewrite the app just for that.

I hope to make the themeing system flexible to allow to improve what we have today, may be not exactly like that but enough to please many people's taste.

Just in case, have you tried the TV mode? That includes interesting categories in the front page, like Recently Played, Favorites, etc.

To be honest I find the interface design of RetroX to be way better than Gamesome and Arc Browser.

It was just something I came across online. Like I said the games all play perfectly so its more just about the look. Is that a newer logo in the video? Looks cool!

This gives me an idea Franco, how about a competition to see who can make the best RetroX logo for the new updated frontend.
So when the new classier frontend is released, their Artwork could be part of it.
Just an idea to throw out there, as there are some very talented Artists out there.

Oh no! haha sorry but it is not simple as it seems.

When I changed from RetroBoxTV to RetroX and made the new logo, it took a lot of time to update all the info about the app (social media, videos, etc). I even haven't finished that. I don't think there will be changes in that matter for now.
