      @mattrixk Hmm....you're probably right.

      I know there were LEGO games for PlayStation ... but not sure which ones.....

      Heck....I'll have to swap him out with somebody else then! Haha

      Yea, I was wanting different backgrounds but the thought of making all of them kind of got me down. So having manufacturer ones was my compromise to having different ones.

      I'll go through the list and see if there are anymore that are worthy to be separated out before release. I just did the big ones that were easy to identify with initially.

        Here's a preview of where I'm at with the theme at the moment.

        A quick scroll through the main menu items. Still have some touch ups to do ... but it's almost time to begin work on the basic and detail/video views.

          Version 1.0 is now released and ready for testing/use.

          If you download and install it, please let me know how it performs and/or things that need tweaked. There's some refinements I want to make on future versions as well as some extra visual things I want to add in.

          For release 1.0, I've removed the system names on the left hand side that's inside the blocks. I need to find a better way to implement that.

          Thanks!!

            If you look closely at the list of names for the "High Scores" list ..... for the generic system background image ...... you might recognize some names in that list.....

              Theme is now available via the ES Themes manager.

              I just wanted to say thanks to all the developers/scripters that make all us this possible for us to use and have fun with.

              @pjft, @TMNTturtlguy, and all the others......I threw an Easter Egg into the theme for many of you as a way to say thanks for everything everyone does.

                  What is better for a kid theme than a black board reminding them of school ? :')

                  Just joking, this theme look really nice.

                    @dmmarti Haha, thanks! My boys will love it :)

                    EDIT: just watched the video, thank you for the kind words. As I mention often, this is all the work of the community, and as you say, it's been fun (and hopefully will continue being so!).

                    I just noticed, if you do have the chance to tweak the names in the High Scores table, Zigurana is also someone who does a lot of work on ES, and could certainly figure in the High Scores list. A lot of the things we've done recently certainly started with his work on ES Kids, so just a thought. :)

                    We're all thankful for your continued work putting these great themes together!

                    Have a great week.

                            @cyperghost Dang it .... and I even fixed that spelling like twice...doh!!! Stupid autocorrect - gets me all the time. Hahaha

                            I'll make sure to get that fixed soon!!! I'll also add in those couple of new names you mentioned too. I tried to remember everyone that I've interacted with and/or read a lot of posts from.

                                Hey! Thanks for the hat-tip! I'll install this on the kid's bartop, and see how they like it!

                                If tetris has thought me anything, it's that errors pile up and that accomplishments dissappear.

                                    I've now split the general background into two different images ... I've added a few more RetroPie names into the high scores list.
