      @rookervik I think you're right! I do seem to rememeber trying a custom one that said it had video enabled a few weeks back just to see what it looked like. I obviously forgot all about it. Sorry about that.

        @kneetie Mmm, let's see.

        The code for enabling the sound is in the pixel.xml:

        <!--<scrollSound>./art/flipper.wav</scrollSound>-->

        Change it to :

        <scrollSound>./art/flipper.wav</scrollSound>

        But you need to put a flipper.wav into the art folder. Whatever sound you want to use. There is not a sound effect included with the theme right now.

            @rookervik Man, IT IS AMAZING, for me Pixel + old carbon sounds + Pixel Retropie menu icons + Pixel splash screen + Pixel launching images is the way to go, just LOVE it and I can not stop to scream about that

                  @madmodder123 Yeah I'm going to take a little break before I get on metadata. Tho it shouldn't be hard. Hopefully I will just need to edit the pixel.xml for meta data version. We'll see. But I want a small break. Took me 6 hours on Sunday to do all the xmls. Such a drag. Haha.

                      Hello @Rookervik !
                      I'm working on fun facts splashscreens and I was using your theme as an example and while trying to parse pixel.xml with xmlstarlet I kept getting and error telling me that that xml was malformed.
                      Looking into it, I found a couple of comments that have one extra dash -, these ones:

                      https://github.com/ehettervik/es-theme-pixel/blob/6488c5426c2ede809d6b3aafeb6e6f78773ce11e/pixel.xml#L202-L203

                      <!--- This will enable Player Count under the screenshot --->
                      <!---<pos>0.686 0.573</pos>--->
                      

                      and

                      https://github.com/ehettervik/es-theme-pixel/blob/6488c5426c2ede809d6b3aafeb6e6f78773ce11e/pixel.xml#L213-L214

                      <!--- This will enable Player Count under the screenshot.--->
                      <!---<pos>0.830 0.567</pos>--->
                      

                      I removed them and now it's working! :D
                      Just wanted to let you know, because it might affect other projects using xmlstarlet to parse themes.

                            @hiulit Yeah I'm aware and I haven't updated the theme on purpose. LOL. Tho if I ever intend to use meleu's awesome splashscreen maker, I might fix it. But the reason I didn't fix it is exactly because of the splash screen maker :D Hahaha

                                    Ok, starting to work on Pixel with Metadata. (gotta go make me some gamelists so I can even see the crap :P )

                                    Anything you guys want fixed up or changed? Now's the time to ask. I don't use this theme so I don't care how it looks. Haha.

                                      I think it's all working. I don't have gamelists to test. I can make a couple but I didn't move any positions of text.

                                      Videos are in. And I think everything from Pixel-regular. Anyone wanna test it?

                                        @rookervik The fancy carousal at the bottom is about the only thing I would like to see in the Pixel metadata update. I'm sorry to say, I'm not a fan of the spaced out game list in Pixel. I appreciate your hard work anyway.

                                          @rookervik Should I be able to update it through updating retropie setup then updating the theme in es-themes? I tried and no update is available.

                                            @quackwalks I was gonna mail it to whoever wanted to test it. Before I send it to the main download and potentially ruin everyones' pixel. LOL
