@SuperMagicom @Keigan
Yes I uploaded the files to the folder and make the commit.

this is how I see the project on GitHub and the app. Any suggestion?

@chicuelo You need to push your changes to github, they're still locally on your machine. Maybe the Publish Repository button ? I've never used the Github desktop app, so I don't know the workflow.

@mitu @chicuelo

Yeah try Publish, I was going off what I see on mine, but I had already Published it, so that should be the issue here.

@mitu @Keigan

The issue was that I have created one project on GitHub web whit the same name, I can't delete so I change the project name for the publish, take a look now:

https://github.com/chicueloarcade/Chicuelo-Theme

How can I set those files to work on emulation station menu so you can download directly from the es themes manager?
Thanks for your help folks!

You should create a pull request for the RetroPie-Setup repository so the theme to be added to the default list of themes available in RetroPie. Something similar to https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/2260 - clone the repository on your account, then modify the esthemes.sh file as in the pull request above (include your github account and repository), then do a pull request to the RetroPie-Setup repository.

Ahh, yeah GitHub was a pain the first time I tried to use it.

Great Theme man! This is easily the best I've seen on here, so clean.

As far as getting it available inside EmulationStation, I'm not sure. I've only ever used themes I've created and manually loaded, so not sure how the auto loader works. Someone in here will be able to help though!

@keigan
Thanks mate, hope you enjoy the theme. If you want some other system just ask!

EctoOne · 17 Jan 2018, 20:04

I also must say that I really like it.
Yet, there is one minor issue. The indicator dots on the left side on the system view are based on your systems. I just tested it on my windows version and the dot was randomly jumping and/or skipping systems.

I know! On the readme file I explain that part. It would be great if retropie incorporates that function on a future. It was the only way I find how to do it

@mitu

Gorgeous, I will try to do it!

Yeah, I really like the dots, they are such a good replacement for a regular carousel. Maybe you should upload a version without the dots, so that everyone can use it without having random jumps.

SgtJimmyRustles · 17 Jan 2018, 21:05

That's a real clean theme. Not my personal cup of tea, but it's one that I'd be proud to share if I were you.

I updated the files and removed the indicators so you can use the theme in any order

@chicuelo is not better to zip everything and upload in some website for now ? like mega or google drive

mitu · 18 Jan 2018, 12:29

@arturgomes You can download a zipfile from github repository. Use the Clone or Download button at the right top of the repo and choose to download the zip.

I have a way to cheat this, however it may be more work than you care to do since the indicators will work with your setup. If anyone is interested though, and has basic Photoshop skills, it's fairly straightforward.

I'm interested on doing it the proper way. What do you suggest to make it work?

Keigan · 18 Jan 2018, 20:21

I'm in the middle of writing up a how to on this, and may have realized the most simple way in the world to do it in the process. Let me run a few tests first to see, cause this way wouldn't be a cheat.

Keigan · 18 Jan 2018, 20:40

@chicuelo

So the simpler way won't give the effect I feel we are looking for. My thought was create a circle call it logo and have every system use it as it's logo. This will do an indicator, though the indicator will always be in the center and not scroll from top to bottom, so I'll finish my work around post and post that.

If anyone knows though how to keep the logo list static, and move down system to system and highlight the selected one, that would be huuuge.
