      Sounds like I gave you EXACTLY what to go on, mate. You're welcome.

        @platimus Don’t act like an ass. He is providing this theme and insane amount of work out of kindness.

        This theme was designed for RetroPie. Not EmulationStation on Windows. He is trying to provide support as best he can to everyone’s unique set up but there are so many moving variables to people’s set ups that it’s hard.

        If you want support, you should provide actual details: platform, resolution, detailed description of your issue, screenshots. Don’t put the burden on the creator to solve your issues when using the theme in a way it wasn’t designed to be used.

          @livefastcyyoung I have a coding background. I did extensive trouble-shooting. I gave very specific information about where the problem was. I was not the ass here.

          I'm sure all of Ruckage's fanbois will disagree though. So farewell.

            @platimus If you’ve got this myriad of qualifications, fix it yourself then.

            This is a community that does nothing but try its best to help and troubleshoot. However, when people are acting rude and entitled, the community isn’t going to trip over itself to help them. If you don’t want to treat other users and creators with basic common decency, you aren’t going to find yourself getting a whole lot of help. Or very welcome for that matter.

              I love this theme. However, I can't get it to work properly. At first, nothing showed up. After looking around and trying different versions of ES, I got @jdrassa latest continuous build for Windows. I'm on Windows, btw. Now, it seems to mostly work but there are still problems. It looks like the problems stem from the '${region]' type of variables defined in the skin. My system doesn't seem to be handling those variables.

              Is there another version of ES I should be using? What can I do to get this great skin working? Thanks in advance.

              At no point did you describe the symptoms of the problems you are having, without that info I have to make assumptions and can often end up wasting my time as the problem could be something completely different.

              You could have simply said the 'icons and background are missing' or posted a screenshot - I don't see the issue with expecting a bare minimum of information when being asked for help.
              Despite that I went out of my way to install the latest windows version and have made enquiries as to the cause to try and help you.

                Stop further free support for all your themes immediately.
                All themes of yours work as they should on a "normal" TV & Retropie setup. Anything else is to be considered a custom setup.

                Someone wants a new system? Click that damn donation button and drop some good amount of $$ and only then you should move your fingers.
                The theme doesn't work on a XXXXXX setup? Click that damn donation button first and drop some $$ and only then you should even bother to look for additional theme modifications.

                People just take things for granted and don't understand, appreciate and value the time and hard work that is behind such a theme.

                I always wonder do they breed that kind of type of human somewhere? He ain't the first one that behaved like that and he sure won't be the last one. Real shame.

                  @ruckage this guy is using an unsupported emulationstation version. Your theme has features that are only supported by Retropie emulationstation version, this includes Raspberry pi and Ubuntu script. This isn't your fault, it's a ES devs fault.

                  It's no use!!! Take this!!!

                    Sorry for not replying sooner, been suffering with man flu the last 3-4 days so haven't felt much like posting (I made an exception to help that new user - won't be doing that again ;) .)

                    @FlyingTomahawk @LiveFastCyYoung Thanks for the support, I appreciate that. I like to help people if I can and I'm more than happy to do so - and I know pretty much all the regulars here and the majority of newcomers would do the same in return so I guess it's best to not let the more entitled/toxic users ruin that. It does start to make you a bit less trusting of newcomers though which is a shame as it must make the community a bit less welcoming than it used to be when it first started (I guess that's the case for all communities though as they grow).

                    While I see your point I feel I should point out the version of ES we're talking about is a version that @jdrassa maintains, he has made some amazing contributions to ES for retropie - many of the cool new features in ES are down to @jdrassa and this theme wouldn't be possible without them. It's the version I use to develop the themes (it's much easier to do on windows than on the pi itself) and it's possible if there is a bug in this new version it could also be a problem on newer versions of ES for retropie itself. I will investigate further and install the latest ES on the rpi to test so if there is an issue I can report it to the devs to find a solution.

                        Man, what a dickhead that guy was. Banned and for good reason.

                        @ruckage hey man, sorry I didn't get back to you - the bug fix worked out great and my player icons are back to normal on 720p. Thanks for your help, and don't let that asshat get you down about newcomers - I'm ass deep into retropie and your theme is my go-to. I definitely appreciate you getting back to us on this stuff as quick as you do. And for that, I'm going to leave a little in your tip jar. Hope you get well soon!

                            Thanks for the reply, feeling quite a bit better now. It wasn't flu though, just a particularly bad cold (the term 'Man Flu' is a bit of a joke in the UK stemming from men supposedly suffering /moaning more when they have a cold).

                            Thanks for the reply and for the donation, I appreciate it.
                            Glad the fix worked for you, It will be part of the next update which I really have to get to work on soon (it's about time I added a few more systems).

                                        Supergrafx will be added at some point as it's on my todo list (listed on the nes mini thread). By CPS2 logo I assume you mean the finalburn alpha icon. I could maybe add other colours when I have some spare time but I don't really see why it's necessary as FBA covers multiple arcade systems (I know the CPS2 cartridges had different colours for different regions but does it really matter?).

                                          You can try creating your own icons, that´s what I have done, I created a pixeled icon for supergrafx (also a supergrafx icon for the Nes mini theme) and also for some other systems, those look aligned with the aesthetic of the theme, however I will use the ones from Ruckage once he release them.

                                            My art skills are pretty much none haha. I use this theme on my hacked real snes classic console and I have Cps1 Cps2 & Cps3 hence the other 2 colours blue and orange. As for supergrafx I don't have one :-(
