Canvas-DS Theme (v1.0.0)

Welcome to the initial release of Canvas-DS—a grid and dual-screen theme built specifically for Anbernic RG-DS with Rocknix!

Available Downloads

To make things as easy as possible, we have provided two different downloads depending on how you'd like to use the theme:

  1. canvas-ds.zip (Core Theme Only)

This zip file contains just the essential, lightweight files required to run the theme with its default layouts.

Who it is for: Users who want a clean, fast installation as-is, without any extra customization example files taking up space on their SD card.

  1. canvas-ds+customization-examples.zip (Theme + Customization Examples Bundle)

The full base theme plus the pre-configured customization folders (featuring the custom Pokémon and Zelda templates, complete with custom palettes, asset paths, and wallpaper layouts).

Who it is for: Users who want to play around with different colors, use this preset designs, or use the assets as a blueprint to create their own custom layouts.

Installation

  1. Download your preferred .zip file from the assets below.
  2. Extract the contents.
  3. Transfer the canvas-ds folder into your device's theme directory (typically /themes/ if mounting via networ or /STORAGE/.config/emulationstation/themes/).
  4. Copy both the enable_theme_rgds.sh and the start_es_rgds.sh scripts from the repository's scripts folder into your roms/ports folder.
  • !!! NOTE: If you downloaded the theme as a zip, you may need to re-enable execution on the enable_theme_*.sh script either
    after extraction on your computer or on the device via ssh. Use chmod +x enable_theme_*.sh for either method.
  1. After updating your gamelists, open your ports section on your device and
  • Either run the enable script every time you want to enable the theme
    • (You will have to manually change the theme setting when you want to switch back)
  • Or set the enable script to run at launch by opening the Advanced Game Options (remember you can access this by pressing X twice) and turning on that option
    • Optionally, set the enable script's metadata Hidden option if you don't want it to clutter the ports
  1. Open EmulationStation on your device, press Start, go to User Interface -> Theme Set, and select canvas-ds.

For advanced customizations, please refer to the README.md files included inside the customization examples folders!
