Chad Margetts 5732769868 Universal Theme Conversion & System Icon Additions
The Automatic and Systematic themes have been setup in universal theme directories at the root level of the repository.  The source SVG files from RetroActive and NeoActive have been archived at baxy-retroarch-themes for their eventual retirement once universal themes have been fully implemented.

The following system icons have been added for Automatic, FlatUX, Monochrome and Systematic.  Most are additions that come from the No-Intro Dat-O-Matic, but a few have been added to bring other themes up to par with Systematic.

Automatic Theme for RetroArch & Lakka

About Automatic

Automatic is a theme that is inspired by the outline artwork on Nintendo's Super Famicom box and Apple's line drawings of 1984-2014 Mac models that were featured on the 30 Years of Mac site. Automatic builds on the work of the Systematic theme by using an outlined top-down system icon and media icons such as cartridges or discs. User interface icons use an outlined square to underscore the simplicity of the design.

Guidelines

Palette

  • Icons use white (#ffffff). If you've ever created Monochrome icons, this should feel very familiar. Before January 2018, it was 5% gray (#2f2f2) but it was changed to white for recoloring in code, like Ozone and Monochrome.
  • Use of gradients and translucency is prohibited. It's all about the outline.

Layout

  • The icons should be set to a 256x256 canvas and should be centered on a 64x64 grid.
  • The icon must have an 8px margin, effectively reducing the icon size to 240x240.

Style

  • Icons design elements use an outline that is 4px thick.
  • Snap design points to the grid wherever possible to provide maximum clarity and scalability.

Export

When converting from PDF source files, the SVG files can be created using [Alfrixs conversion script] (https://forums.libretro.com/t/neoactive-retroactive-and-systematic-theme-support-and-feedback/9501/26) and PNG files are converted via the ImageMagick Mogrify command (mogrify -density 288 -resize 25% -format png *.pdf).

File Names

This theme follows the naming syntax demonstrated by the Monochromatic theme. If there are system variations, refer to the model number where possible and attach a code where necessary.

  • T = Tower or Vertical Configuration
  • (As) = Asia
  • (B) = Brazil
  • (E) = Europe
  • (J) = Japan
  • (U) = United States
  • (W) = World
