      Yeah, thanks - i wasn't aware that they had shown the UI . It's not clear enough to work from unfortunately as it's pretty blurry but after lots of trawling through various youtube videos I've been able to make a start. I'll post some wip screenshots shortly.

        so now with you working on both ruckage do you plan to add collection support to your theme at least default custom one if not individual themes? now that it is in official build of retropie.

          Yes, I think I already said a week or so ago that I would be adding collection support. I need to look into it more though and decide on the best way to do it.

            @ruckage thanks, I am glad I gave you at least one tool for you to work :) sadly right now I am using Recalbox due to its stability and easy access to its settings (that is its selling point for me) easy updates easy screenshots and easy rewind / fast forward easy and intuitive favourites system and its easier access to Kodi ( tho I hate the fact that they swapped the function of the A and B buttons and that they separate Cave story and Doom, games wich should be in ports are separate systems) but even on a rival platform I still love RetroPie and I am watching its progress closely to the point that I still comment on this forum and the first theme maker in wich I inmediatly thought to start working on this theme was you, when I saw the UI in the video I screamed and say "I must be the first person to show ruckage the UI" greetings from México

            Ps: to be fair and honest I love both systems, one because of its super nice active and open comunity and its fast updates and the other because of its stability easy and nice UX (user experience) and ease to install thanks to Noobs, but even so, I am not here to debate wich is better, I am here to talk with yoy amazing comunity and help you ruckage to start building that theme

            As I said even on another OS (I got there because my gamelists got corrupt because of suden shutdowns and then accidentally I messed up my system even more deleting the gamelist files) I am glad to help RetroPie, keep the good work

              @ruckage Is the UI still 8 bit? or did they bump it up to 16-bit?

                It has more of a 16bit look to it (same resolution but uses more colours) which makes sense as it's for a 16bit system. I nearly have a preview ready to show so you'll be able to see.

                  Cool, I just didn't know you drew them yourself. You probably said that somewhere in this thread, and I just didn't pay attention...

                      This took longer than I thought but after many hours of work I can show some previews of the Super Famicom/Snes Classic theme. It may change before I release it but this gives you an idea of how it will look. I based it on what screenshots I could get from youtube videos, it's not an exact copy but as with the nes mini theme that isn't my intention. I've adapted it to suit a base resolution of 480x270 (this scales evenly to 1080p) and have adjusted the border art to fit the existing logos I've made for the nes mini theme. I'm working on the US SNES border now so will post previews of that next.

                      I think I'll probably start a new topic for this, I'll post a link to it when I start it.

                          Hi @ruckage any suggestion to the question that I did to you? probably is not possible but at least to know.

                          Sorry for the late reply. I don't think you can but you're really asking in the wrong thread. Ask in the thread related specifically to custom collections and I'm sure you'll get an answer.

                            Here's the US style SNES classic theme. I had to have the system logos at the top in this version as space at the bottom was limited so some logos wouldn't fit. The backdrop is just a placeholder at the moment (it shows the SFC/EU style snes), I'll redraw it so that it features the US style SNES.

                                        Your original post before you edited it came to my inbox, and to be honest I don't know what your point is, could you explain, I'm genuinely curious ?

                                        I'd forgotten about that but it's not too important. I could move them somewhere else if necessary but I like them in that space.

                                          Really doesnt matter! Theres no way of saying it without coming across as a bit a dick. So better off not saying anything! xD

                                            @ruckage I know this because all the system are. I think the theme is really great. I mean if you still make a Playstation design like the snes, where you work?
