    Hello gamer! 

     

    I use my Xbox360 with Aurora in an Astro City Cabinet (a great thanx to all you guy for this joy to play 👍) 

    The main screen will show games, with a zoom on the first one (see picture). 

    And stay like that until I choose a game. 

    Logical. 😊

     

    So I ask myself if a screen saver exist? 

    Will start about 1 or 2 minutes and offer videos or screens? 

     

    In advance, thank you for your answer. 😊

    Well, I worked by following the tutorial of Felida, and my loading screen is centered at the right size.

    So I build a version before modifying the skinmeta, and it works perfectly.

    I edited this same version by modifying the skin.meta, and it does not work. (does not even appear in Aurora's theme change list)

    So, I use my version without change of meta, but with my loading screen :)

    But I do not know why the edit step of meta does not work.
    Too bad, I would have shared my humble version of skin for the owners of Astro & xbox360 :(

    In any case, a big thank you to Felida for his help and his tutorial! :)

    Hello Felida !

     

    I had been careful to take the version of SteamOS (0.7b,  found here : https://www.realmodscene.com/index.php?/topic/4701-skin-aurora-steamos/), and by the way my first attempt with the wrong resolution worked. :)

    I'll try my new trial, with only the loading screen at good relolution, soon.

     

    I've watched your video, I use it to have a good result.

     

    Thank you for your info ! :)

    Hello !

    I'm back for the final version of my skin and some screens of it !

    So, It's a Auroa 0.7b.1 skin for a Xbox 360 in my Astro City Candy Cab.

    I've just change the boot screen of SteamOS skin (using Astro City logo), and the background main screen (using some video game logos)

    I want to credit mrknorton for the original SteamOS skin I've work from, and Felida who helped me change the meta screen. :)

     

    The visuals :

    Enjoy ! :) 

     

    -------------------

    Below, the WIP :)

    -------------------

     

    Hello !

    Since I saw all the possibilities offered by Aurora and the tools put in available by the team, it made me want to contribute (modestly) to the group:

    I decided to make a small skin customization. :)

    To start with something simple, I decided to take my skin favorite (SteamOS, by mrknorton) and modify its loading image and its back main plan.

     

    My Xbox 360 being in an SEGA AstroCity cabinet, the theme was all found!

     

    So I started working on the background.

    I was looking for a neutral result, not too invsid, but we can guess the references to the video game:

    1549014940-astros-profile.png

     

    Then I worked on a loading image that could refer to the AstroCity.

     

    I made several proposals ...

    1549015020-xxx-01.png


    1549015023-xxx-04.png


    1549015046-xxx-06.png


    1549015071-xxx-08.png


    1549015077-xxx-09.png


    1549015087-xxx-12.png

     

    ... I even test an other font, but nothing really good ...

    1549015174-essais-typo.png

     

    ... I tested all that, and I realized that my loading image was not the right size (too small).

    So I redid the image that I liked most to the right size and edited a new skin meta ...

     

     

    1549015294-skin-meta.png

    and there, it does not work.
    Aurora does not want to load my skin.

    Well, as I changed 2 things at once, I will break down my progress by first testing with the loading image at the correct size, and once validated as working, I will do it again skinmeta.

    I'll let you know what happens next !

    Ok, thanks for this clarification! ☺️
    My remarks do not want to question your concept and the necessary and existing difference between these 2 good applications, nor your wish to let this difference continue.
    It's just a matter of ergonomics, having used both concepts.
    A kind of return by comparison to try to have the best of both worlds ! ☺️


    In any case thank you for taking the time to read my suggestions. 😉

    Thank you Felida for this additional information. 😊

    First of all, a huge thank you and congratulations for the quantity and quality of work that has been done ! 👍
    And thanks to the developer for allowing users to review their experience of operating solutions. 😍

    In advance, I apologize if the developers find it inconvenient to make comparisons with the FSD (which I understand 😊), but I think that the advances made by the FSD, even if their approach is not the same, can benefit Aurora.

     

    Hello !

     

    Former FSD 3 user, I came to Aurora because I found it faster, stable, light, smart and more contemporary in design.

    Using Aurora for some time, I realized that some navigation solutions in the FSD menu were finally really good, and that taking them back on Aurora could make the experience even more enjoyable.

    I want to talk about 2 things about the main menu.


    The first concerns the selection of a game to play :

    Currently, on Aurora, the selection is done directly by pressing A, the information is read by pressing Y.
    The FSD method was broken down and save the function of the Y button.
    Can not we select a game by pressing A, see its characteristics, and press A again to launch it ?

    This will avoid, in my opinion, launching a game by mistake (and it is a long time to return to the menu in this case), and press A and then quickly again on A to launch it directly is not longer than the current version in pressing single.


    The second concerns navigation from one library to another :

    Currently, on Aurora, you have to do RB or LB, then select the choice with A.
    The FSD method is to switch from one to the other of a single input.
    Could not you go from one library to another with RB or LR, without confirming with A ?

    This would allow me to make navigation smoother and faster.

     


    Here is my first and very good impression as user of Aurora, and 2 modification that I would like to have.

    Please, tell me if you find my remarks without interest or if you will include them in an upcoming update ! 😎

    Thank you !
