      Also the number of players is overlapping at this aspect ratio. To fix it find this section:

      <text name="md_players">
      	<pos>0.845 0.477</pos>
      </text>
      

      And change it to:

      <text name="md_players">
      	<pos>0.875 0.477</pos>
      </text>

        Much appreciated. I'll test this in a bit.

            Ahh nicely done. Yeah this is a change just for your aspect ratio. That's one of the downfalls of how ES positions things on the screen. Using percentages works fine so long as text is also changed. But ES doesn't squish the fonts the same as it squishes images. So the more portrait your aspect is, the more text will overlap.

              Yeah, I had thought originally that your theme had the text like @ruckage where his was actually all pixels and it would have to be redone to fit.

                Hmm, I guess Pixel needs to be re-designed to take advantage of the carousel theming...

                  Pixel2 looks way better. LOL. Perhaps some changes to color. Just ganked the FBA theme and copied it over Favorites.

                            Here's a pretty big question: Are there any people using Pixel theme that have not updated at least to the version of ES that has video previews and layering?

                            I need to know this as I am thinking about adding video previews in along with these collections and also moving the carousel down so you can see the pixel art on the system selection screens.

                            I feel that the ES improvements have been in long enough that it's safe to go ahead and add these features to the main branch of Pixel.

                            Please note: adding these changes and using the pixel theme on an old version of ES will not work.

                              @rookervik I'd just move forward and make the changes. Even if people are reluctant to update retropie then ES itself can always be updated separately, and if they really don't want to update ES then they can just stick with the version of Pixel they're currently using.
                              There are so many nice improvements to ES it's a shame not to take advantage of them.

                                @ruckage Yeah. I could honestly not care less about video previews. And it's a little bit of a hassle to add with the layering I use. But so many people ask for it. I am a little excited to move the carousel, though. That will look so much better. Shrink the pixel consoles a little so they fit above the carousel. Wish I could come up with something to replace all the tetris blocks. Haha. But that's where Pixel 2 comes.

                                  @rookervik if the layering issue you are referring to is due to pixel having multiple background layers, that shouldn't be an issue anymore. When z-index support was added, I adjusted how the video is handled so that by default it should be rendered above any extras. Default z-index values are listed here

                                    @jdrassa Awesome. I spent a week or so trying to get video working in the pixel version I had and couldn't get the videos to play over the background. This is wonderful news.

                                      Ok, tired for the night. Spent a couple hours on the logos. Don't know what's taking so long. Adding anti-aliasing seems to be taking me longer than normal. Probably cause of the gradient coloring on the letters.

                                          Ok, we just about ready with this? Not going to mess with moving the carousel yet. I'll save that for a weekend.

                                          Update: Collections are now live in regular Pixel theme github. You can update it with the setup script.

                                          Update2: Pixel-Metadata has been updated with Collections. Update through the setup script.

                                          Let me know of oddities or bugs. I'll try to get them squashed before I add videos and move the carousel.

                                            Now for some carousel changes. Finally figured out what my logo scaling issue was.
