        @ajdshnps yes, @pjft is correct. There are ways documented to do this. I am on my phone so links are that easy. If you are interested let me know. They are advanced scripts and file modification, the current favorites system that @pjft has created is much more user friendly.

          I would love that info when you get a moment no rush. Great work by the way. I'm running it on my pi1 it works great. The only thing I don't do is run video snaps on my game selection screens there is too much of a lag. Any chances of making bezels for your theme. @TMNTturtlguy Thanks again

            @TMNTturtlguy I'm fairly sure I read that you aren't making any more updates to the ComicBook theme (at least based on requests), but I'm hoping I might make a small request.

            Any chance of making system logos for Atari 2600 Hacks and Atari 7800 Hacks (or simply Atari Hacks, if easier)? I would presume this is a relatively simple request, as it should just require adding the Hacks graphic on top of the Atari 2600 and Atari 7800 images, but I fully acknowledge that its only simple if one has graphical skills and abilities... and I have neither!

            I think I can otherwise create the collections based on the existing Atari theme templates, but I'm at a loss for getting Atari Hacks to show up correctly.

            Thanks in advance,
            Rob

              @periodiclogic you are correct, and sorry to dissapoint, but I am no longer creating new logos or content. The new features and collections opportunities in emulation station are endless and I had to draw a line somewhere or I would be creating logos and system backgrounds for everyone. I am glad you enjoy the theme and sorry to dissapoint.

                  Just askin cause I'm nosy.. :) @TMNTturtlguy do you have plans on releasing a new theme or have you hung up your boxing gloves? This was a massive undertaking and a crowing achievement. I'm blown away by it. Will forever be my theme of choice!

                  Who's Scruffy Looking?

                    @hansolo77 thanks! I appreciate the kind comments. I have been very busy with work and career advancements as of late and I had to cut back on my all night retropie development. I have a few other theme ideas I have been playing with, but just haven’t had the time. I am still around and checking in on development, but until after the new year I just won’t have time to commit to new ideas and development.

                    Thanks

                        awesome THEME! i love the updates. There are tons of replies and comments on this subject, so I may have missed this, but I changed a couple of things on mine and just thought I'd share them. If anyone wants them, etc.

                            Is there any way to add collections for Classic Arcade, Platformer and Run and Gun? I love this Theme. It's the only one I can find with collections for Beat'em Ups, Fighters and Shoot'em Ups.

                                  @kdretro Id like to make my own collections for Classic Arcade, Platformer and Run and Gun. Is there somewhere that shows how to do it? Any chance you might be able to run me through how you did yours? :)

                                    @tmntturtlguy better? I have to downgrade the quality to post it on here. its larger normally. I need to upload the PSD file for it somewhere and post the link.

                                      @TMNTturtlguy I really love your theme for my laptop version of ES, any chance you could add in Nintendo 3DS to the list?

                                        @grizzlema Thanks for the kind words. As posted earlier in the thread, due to fairly recent changes in our family life and my time/availability, and the fact that there are an endless number of system themes that could be created I have made the decision to stop creating new systems/themes. Several months ago @pjft was able to implement some awesome updates that allow users to create their own custom systems and the theme is set up to work with that. I apologize. Good luck and enjoy.

                                          Hi @TMNTturtlguy First of all, thank you for the brilliant theme! I am using it in a cocktail-style table I have made and it looks really good. I would like to make custom collections for "Cocktail Games" and "Vertical Games". I understand I can use some of the collections already in the theme and just replace the "comic.png" with a different logo, could you please tell me what font and size have you used for the other logos? Thanks.

                                            How do you implement "favorites", "last played", etc.? I see it is added and one thread references a "built in" method and then some other script that I believe lets you hide certain systems. What is the easiest way to add those extra system themes? Is there a step by step?
