** Is mention (@) working? **

Pieter, nothing more to add (by me anyway) so this can be considered final and added to the Themes section if you want.

Ok, I'll test it, and add it soon. 😀
I don't know if SMF supports mention nor if it's activated; I will find out.

Noticed a bug so have fixed it and upped a new version (1.2).
Also added extra meta on the Collection Menu and changed Font Size

This should now be final (sorry about that!)

No problem; I hope to be able to have a look on Friday.
I tried activating the @JonahUK feature; hopefully this works now. :)

Mention seems to be working now, thanks!
However, I can't seem to mention you by simply typing "@Pieter Hulshoff" ?
I had to use the long way of manually adding the member tag like this [ member=1]Pieter Hulshoff[/member ] which becomes @Pieter Hulshoff when the space is removed near the [ & ]

I did a quick check without the space, but I had the same trouble; I guess the mod has some issues still. I had no trouble tagging you directly though.

Not sure if this is the one you used but it appears to work with spaces and also uses a suggestion dropdown box to ensure the correct user will be mentioned.

It works when I use the dropbox; it doesn't show in a preview, but it does work when I post it.

Here you go:

RetroSpin 1.2:

Thanks Pieter :)

EDIT:
First post repost below:

The original version of this theme was VERY video heavy due to each collection having its own theme on the main menu and subsequent animation on the collection sub menu to match the animation on the main menu.

It was just too much work and very time consuming so I cancelled it (after 68 themes were done, lol!).

Rather than just abandon it fully, I decided to strip it right back and just get rid of anything fancy!
There is no additional info or art other than what is shown, that is how much it has been stripped back :)

Main Menu

Collection

Simple logo/device animation on y on menu enter/exit and scroll
Pointer changes to system logo when entering a menu
Simple meta display.
This is 4x3 and suited more for a cab than a htpc.

I made a few small changes to your layout.xml file to make use of the latest 0.8.6 features. If that's ok to you I'd like to add it to the themes download page.

Thanks and yes, that's fine by me.

Theme updated to version 1.3.

Changes:
Added Box & Cart Art to Collections Menu
Various tweaks to animations
Made the background image a little "lighter" as black logos were hard to see against it.

Updated XML & Background attached to this post.
