Add Art Book Next theme to the official build

[ducalex]

Retro-Go already supports extra themes via the SD Card, but I want to add support for multiple built-in themes.

Initially that will include the current (default) theme, perhaps the legacy (gradient) theme, and Art Book Next by anthonycaccese and adapted by DynaMight1124.

This thread is just to discuss the details instead of cluttering DynaMight1124's PR #272.

The theme is: https://github.com/anthonycaccese/art-book-next-es

Current zip provided by DynaMight1124: Art.Book.Next.zip

If some tabs need to be reordered for the theme to make more sense, we can discuss it here as well.

It might be a good idea to plan ahead for future consoles that were recently ported by other projects and could be adopted by us (2600, wonderswan, neogeopocket).

Hi

It would be cool to have some more builtin themes. Yes happy to add the missing artwork to ensure everything is covered, and going forward I can add placeholders new systems when they go into dev testing and then re-order properly when they become official/default.

It doesnt take too long to do, it is manual but I'm literally just dragging 3 images into the frame and saving the image, as long as I know the system run order, its fairly easy :)

I think the theme engine currently is more than good enough to create some lovely themes, but maybe with some (I assume) simple tweaks it could allow some variation. I havent properly thought this through yet so may not properly work but could there be a larger banner, currently only 24 pixels and does make it hard to include something other than simple text and the low res does make some text quite jagged on some font types. Maybe also allow theme creators (via the json) to move the banner/logo files e.g. can be moved to the bottom of the screen, even if it is just top/middle/bottom. Theres no rush, just throwing some stuff out there.

It would also be cool to see some additional systems, I saw #259 and it looked fairly impressive for no PSRAM. Also with my 'Oh so powerful P4' hat on, I'd love to see Quake running :) and also Duke3D, I did try to compile from your old branch but it was too old to compile on the new IDF and P4, I decided not to go down the AI rabbit hole that time to resolve the compile issues, I'd guess it would power through Duke3D :)

Hi

Had a play for a little bit. Added the missing background_collections.png, also added banner_collections.png (wasnt sure if that was needed or not so can be removed)

I have also amended a few other images, changed the favourite and last played to something a little more suited and used a better PCE artwork. GBA still has a placeholder, but happy to change it now so it has the proper running order?

Heres the latest version, let me know if you thing anything needs changing/added:

Art Book Next.zip

Oh also added some place holders for 2600, ngpc and ws, its not in the above but I'll attach the latest dev below. No pressure, just a 'while I was already in the flow' thing.
