Gods Will Fall for the horizontal theme plus added loads of icons on my github to save this thread from being blocks of icons

» my Github icon repo «

I found something mildly interesting today which could benefit people who make their own icons,
it seems so obvious now but without doing so it's something I've overlooked and perhaps other people have also?

Stripping out meta data from JPGs will yeild smaller file sizes, this might benefit those of us stuck with the 130kb
image having to reduce quality to hit the target of 125~ kb so they actually show the image and not just a grey question mark.

the average reduction is 20kb give or take, ok it's not the best thing ever but overall i see a benefit especially people with high amounts of custom images.

Looking good my friend. I've had a look at your repository and wow, thanks for the icons. Is there a possibility of you adding one for The Messenger?

Sure, I'm pretty much done with my own stuff now I'm just back into certain icons and making alternative icons. I'll make a horizontal version first and jiggle layering about to make a default square version.

Arcade Classics, might have to make a template for these so others can make icons for similar titles.
I believe I've pulled the correct logos for the year of release

Square

Horizontal Theme

 

[SodaSoba]

now upto 24 of the arcade archive titles
I've tried to stick to a similar layout

• vertical publisher.
• Right aligned title/logo
• arcade flyer (as much as possible)

as usual on my git

I use d37aabc with FEAT_NSAM (for HOS 5.1.0+) enabled with AMS:0.18.0/HOS:10.2.0 and it works, there's also FEAT_NSRO folks can alternatively use on HOS 11.0.0+. I'm not sure if that's just an alternative 11.0.0+ folks can use or if it's a must.

I'll build one with FEAT_NSAM and another FEAT_NSRO enabled if you want to try either of them.

@p-sam mentioned that they are the services, by default it builds both enabled in github actions.

Ah, I didn't know building with both active would play nicely.
I'll recompile it with both later.

Edit:
Compiled from d37aabc with both FEAT_NSAM and FEAT_NSRO enabled

So will these work with latest atmos? I'm still a version behind I believe.

 

[SodaSoba]

I'm testing the one in the original post, the one that says "fix". It works fine in the latest version of atmosphere.

Excellent, thank you.

Simple & eloquent. Great work

just pushed another 215 vertical icons to my git
just hit 1000 icons over all 3 supported types
vertical icons now sitting at 291.

I'll continue adding icons until i work my way through my template
folders until I reach Z then add icons that interest me or get requested.

here is a small selection:

they should resize correctly using the vertical theme
