        @tronkyfran Hey tronkyfran, i can't seem to find a way to privately message you, but i wanted to ask if it would be okay for me to use your background images on a theme i am putting together?

        They are incredibly sharp.

              @tronkyfran first, THANK YOU so much for this images/your theme!

              One image is more beautiful than the other, just awesome. Sometimes i just scroll up and down my systems, just to admire this beauty.

              I have a question, maybe a stupid one:
              Are these photographs or did you painted/rendered them?? For example the sega mega drive. I can't belive this is rendered, but how can someonoe take such a smooth product photo?

              Greetings from Italy

                @machinehater Thx a lot for your words, youre too kind!!!!
                All the images are 3d renders made by me, Im fond of some of them,mostly the latest. There is some quality gap from one to another but in general Im happy with the results, there is the issue of segacd, virtual boy, and some more missing systems but hey, there are SO many....

                  @tronkyfran I must say I really love your work. Since I was missing the psx controller, I made one in your style. I am no 3d modeler, nor do I even know how to use 3d program. I did it in AE with E3D. I hope you won't be mad :) Your comments are welcome!

                  I'm also working on a splash video matching the theme.

                    Wow, thats pretty nice!!!!! E3D is growing and allows to get nearly instant results, I would just add a bit of rough bump on the sticks and it would be perfect, great work!!!

                        just thought i would also say i have no background for favourite or recent also.
                        Also the text when you go in both the menus is blue and the background black, and you can't tell which game is highlighted (except from the picture of the game of course).
                        is this just me??

                        apart from that this is by far my favourite theme.

                          @aardvark This is because the theme wasn't updated to support the new collections feature of Last Played, Favorites, etc.

                            fair enough - i've just realised that these features are very new!

                            i hope tronkyfan is continuing development - as i said its my favourite.

                              These are great. I made a post on the Git about them. I am curious, are these still being worked on? I would love to get some more consoles that I have on my setup. The uniformity would be wonderful. Thanks!

                                    Sorry for the old bump. I know this is old and that is a real shame because it is so great. Does anyone know if the plan was to show a different console on the table in that room with the chair? That is a really cool idea.

                                      Yes, I know this is an old thread, but tronkyfran is my favorite es theme. However, there are a few systems that aren’t covered. Any chance that this will ever be updated again?
