      @rookervik Maybe a folder with a list view symbol to contrast with Carbon's icon virw controller?

        Thought maybe a more stylized folder would look nicer.

          Personally I prefer the original folder design though both do look good.
          Have you come up with an 'All Games' icon yet? I also found that the most difficult to think of an icon for.

              That symbol works perfectly.

              Just a quick note on your 'Last Played' icon. Shouldn't the arrow be going anti-clockwise? Otherwise you're implying the future where as you want to imply the past.

                  it reminded arduino symbol, but I loved it anyway!

                    @meleu Ugh, that's strikingly similar. I might have to try something else.

                      It is very similar but I wouldn't worry too much. It's used in a different context and only people who use Arduino are likely to notice. I knew the Arduino logo but I still didn't notice the similarity before @meleu posted the comparison, I just thought what a clever idea it was to use the infinity symbol to represent a controller.

                        how about a raspberry pi, or an SD card/USB drive? i was making a pixel version of the pi but gave up because i'm a lousy artist: pi3

                          By far the best theme in my opinion. I was just wondering if there might be video support coming this year? I understand all the time and sweat you have put into this and we are extremely appreciative.

                          I noticed some how someone did it, but I don't thinks it's your version:

                          Thanks

                              @sergioad I did, I haven't had time to run over and check it. I work late today so I will try to check it before I go in.

                                Not so sure about the tab colors. But that's what I have so far.

                                  @g0nz0uk The video support, when I was adding it, was buggy and didn't have layers support. The pixel2 theme supports videos now. I just haven't fixed the errors on the carousel. Some logos appear FAR larger than they are supposed to and I'm not sure how to fix them right now.

                                  I am getting help with Luminous right now to get folder support in. I just don't have the time anymore. I'll see what I can do about Pixel1. I was supposed to re-draw all of the pixel systems but that's not going to happen with work. I am almost done with the folder artwork though. I just need to finalize colors and create logo art.

                                  I will make me a TO-DO list and add all of this to it. I've been away far too long. :D

                                    Is there any chance you could add 5:4 support for Pixel Metadata or under detail? The "Choose" part is blocked out on a 5:4 monitor.

                                      @sgtjimmyrustles I have no idea. I don't have a 5:4 monitor. I can try to launch ES in a resolution like that and fix it. That's not a typical aspect ratio, and will require a complete fork of pixel.

                                          Did you try the suggestion I gave you the other day regarding forcing the pi to output a 4:3 resolution such as 1024x768? Your monitor should be able to display that and will probably have options to either stretch the images or add black bars. 5:4 isn't at all common these days so I think that would be your best option.

                                            Actually @ruckage I did, and while the HannsG says it supports the 4:3 resolution, it wouldn't even turn on when I had it set after modifying the boot.cfg file. I had to FTP into it and change back the boot.cfg to get it working again. And I followed instructions there to the letter with hdmi group and such. I honestly thought I had responded back to you saying that it hadn't worked. My apologies.

                                            The one thing about the Pixel Theme is that if I don't really use the metadata, it's fine.
