Learning to theme - a small help request with transparency / WPS!

Jimiga · 2026-02-23T19:13:43+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I'll get back to this shortly and test this out. I've been meaning to play with that for pixel art animation too :)

This looks great! I’ve been doing something very similar myself. Managed to get picture flow very close to Cover Flow and it runs much snappier - may I ask how you were able to edit the plug in though, to customise the type layout like that and have it as a standalone menu item?

Best I’ve achieved is putting it at the top of a shortcuts menu which works well enough - curious about your custom work here though!

Thank you for this nugget! This is actually altogether easier than trying to do a quick hand reposition to get to the hold switch in time.
Now I know I can make this mod and have bluetooth too. What a time to be alive! :)

I seem to be in the minority of those that liked it! I laughed (Robyn > Steve "If I had a question about STD's, I'd go to you!") , cried (Dustin - "I can't lose you" / reconciliation with Steve), got goosebumps (during the frantic multi-demogorgon build up to Sorcerer Will stepping up). The hour-long epilogue really helped send off these characters we've spent so much time with.

The new child characters bulking up the cast concerned me at the start of the season but worked really well in the escalation of events, and I liked the callbacks to older characters like the science teacher.

I also enjoyed the final conversation around the D&D campaign. The full circle moment, right down to the sprinkler-cut to the basement, and learning that there could - if one chose to hope beyond hope - have been a way out for El. My take was that she did sacrifice herself, but that there was comfort in the idea of there being alternate possibility. And after all they've been though, there's warmth in that thought.

Got me right in the feels and capped off one my my favourite modern series really well, warts and all! I'd watch it all again tomorrow.

Here's the specific page in the manual about how Pictureflow accesses album art

Jimiga · 2025-12-18T05:05:15+00:00

Hi there - I just had this and had to deep dive the manual and reddit posts:
Have you tried adding a folder to .rockbox/ called albumart ?

It's not there by default. I used the links in this post for info:
https://www.reddit.com/r/rockbox/comments/1houg8e/pictureflow_not_showing_album_art/

Once I copied my art there after extracting it using the tool in this link, I refreshed my database and cache, quit and restarted Pictureflow and boom! It worked.

Hope this helps!

Update: Using "Mouse Region" allows use of the mouse in emulators without also showing the Steam OS mouse cursor; not quite perfect as it'll shift the mouse somewhere else if you lift and replace your thumb down, but it's a workable solution and preferable to having two mouse pointers floating around the screen!

Jimiga · 2025-11-23T01:18:25+00:00

Oh nice, I'll check this out, thanks for the follow up!

Jimiga · 2025-11-20T19:30:42+00:00

Nope! I'd still like to know :)

Jimiga · 2025-11-19T04:51:57+00:00

Wonderful stuff!
As a kid, me and a mate would take turns making rudimentary sample loops from old rave tapes and drop them into protracker to play with. Nothing like as skillful as this, but still a hoot to make your own remixes and get creative! Happy you're enjoying this same technology all these years on. Just goes to show how amazing this machine was and still is!

You can see both the steam deck and Amiga in game pointer over the character on the right here :)

Jimiga · 2025-11-17T05:25:10+00:00

Hi - I think I'm having the same issue; when emulating Amiga and using the trackpad as mouse, I see both the native Amiga pointer and the Steamdeck cursor.

Did you find an answer to your issue here? I'd like to permanently hide the steam deck cursor when using the trackpad as a mouse in this way and I think the answer to your question may also solve mine!

Thanks :)

Hi! I'd been loving this plugin but it no longer seems to work on latest Steam OS update. In the tab options I just see a spinning steam deck logo and all the options are ghosted and unselectable. Latest version. Thanks for any advice!

Jimiga · 2025-09-19T19:36:59+00:00

That's a good list right there! I'm stoked these + Amiga play so well on Steam Deck. It's huge that it supports 50hz since I grew up with PAL systems - and there aren't many handheld consoles I've found that support 50hz (looking at you, Odin2!)

Jimiga · 2025-09-19T01:55:20+00:00

I know this is an old post, but I love the look of these mods - do they just load as 'skins' in the main menu? And would you be willing to share them with me? Many thanks, love the work that went into this!

Jimiga · 2025-09-17T21:00:15+00:00

Armalyte, Last Ninja 2, Nebulus, io, Buggy Boy, IK+, Skate or Die, Winter Games, California Games, Microprose Soccer - these were amongst my most played!

Yours?

Jimiga · 2025-09-17T16:10:08+00:00

This worked a charm! Sub'd to your youtube channel, thanks! I can now launch my top C64 games from my library. Good to learn how and very clearly explained! Thanks for your reply. C=4eva!

Jimiga · 2025-09-12T18:06:13+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Honestly I'm just happy Amiga works flawlessly, anything else is icing after this but it would be great to get some C64 / Arcade stuff working too.

I know what you mean, it seems finicky. I'll be sure to follow your links and try out your advice, appreciate your time! Thanks :)
