I'm about halfway through my icade conversion to a vertical RetroPie (pics/info soon) and I've been looking for an emulationstation theme that works well vertically. The best (only) I found so far that is specifically for vertical is
https://github.com/RetroHursty69/es-theme-vertical_arcadeand it's very specific in what it does and doesn't quite fit my needs (wants).
So... I poked around in that theme and have started customizing it but I wasn't sure what I want exactly so I started writing some scripts (I'm a coder by profession) to save me time. It's not much right now, but it works and I only started playing around with it yesterday. So my question is... is there any interest in an easily customizable vertical theme for emulationstation? If there is interest, I'll post this stuff on github with instructions on using it.
Right now what I have working:
1) a script that will take a tall image, split it into pieces, overlay console images from an existing theme and create a new vertical theme from this. I think this would be really handy for someone with a game-specific art theme and wants an easy way to make a matching UI
[2) a script that will take console logos from an existing theme and make a new vertical theme from it

FULL CREDIT WHERE DUE

: I did not create ANY of these graphics (I'm a coder not a graphics designer). My work just builds on the work others have done before me.
The base vertical theme is from
https://github.com/RetroHursty69/es-theme-vertical_arcadeexample console images I used are from
https://github.com/TMNTturtleguy/es-theme-ComicBook_4-3Here are some pics:
For the first example,I took this image:
http://www.arcadeartwork.org/picture.php?/10591/category/57 and had my script chop it into menu pieces and overlaid the comic book logos over it so it makes a scrollable menu background. The background image spans more than one screen and as you scroll you see more of it. I need to show a video for you to get the full effect. That's the first screenshot attached.
For the second example, I pointed the script at the Comicbook theme and it copies the files to the right places in the vertical theme. This makes a VERY usable vertical theme (IMO). See the next two screenshots attached.
Let me know if you have any questions/comments, etc. Maybe this is only useful for me, and if so, that's fine, but if anyone else could make use of it, let me know.
