      This theme is gorgeous @chicuelo. Are you intending to add this to download and install via emulation station?

      Thank you @nevsan ! Yes, I am actually trying to make it available on ES theme menu manager. I have the repo working and I am waiting for a pull request. Hope it will be soon

      Have you seen the comment on your pull request? Your edit was faulty, you need to put 4 spaces before your entry, you did a tab or something else. You can close it and send another one or wait till it gets manually added.

        This is not the proper way to modify pull requests. Just needs a commit to fix the formatting/to be squashed.

        If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

          @herb_fargus Ok, well that's way easier then. I don't have that much experience with github myself.

            @keigan Do you have a download for those two splash screen sets (colored and grey)? I would love to have them for my setup. Thanks, and the theme looks great @chicuelo! Can’t wait to get my hands on it!

              I have them for the systems I use. I'm not crazy about having a million systems, which is why I sadly never release themes.

              So I have them for:

              NES
              SNES
              GB
              GBA
              GBC
              PSX
              PC
              Hacks
              Genesis
              Master System

              If you have a list of systems you would like them for I will gladly make them, and if you have a particular colour you'd like for the coloured ones, let me know.

                @keigan Thanks, much appreciated. I stay pretty lean systems-wise too, but I guess I would also want Mame, N64, Arcade, and Ports as of now. I’ll take what you have and then if you could just let me know where I can get the main system logos (dark and light) and let me know the font you used for the bottom text I can get them together myself to save you the trouble.

                I’ll share back my additions as well if you would like.

                  I got a mail from an admin with this advice, but I have no idea where is the part I have to put 4 spaces. He told he will add manually on next update

                    Wow, this theme looks so clean and minimal! I really love the style you're going for!
                    I'd use this theme if my Raspberry Pi wasn't busted.

                      Loading screens: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1spB3GkRqiOST4Mmv6IrDqEPKgJeKxHMM

                      Subfolders: colour / grey include the saved png's

                      There is a PSD in the main folder that is set up you just need to throw the logos in, resize and change the colour. The fonts used are also in the main folder.

                      For the grey theme the hex values for the colours are

                      Logo: #F8F8F8
                      Bottom Text: #A5A5A5
                      Background: #4D4F5B

                      Anyone can use this to make the loading screens look how you please

                              Your themes is only optimized for 1680 x 945 resolution, probably because you use it in your build (I like it,
                              my compliments)
                              Is possible to have the two background for system and game list optimized for 1080p and 720p?

                                I use the theme in 800 x 480, 1440x900 and 1920x1080 too (tested on multiple builds, see the two first pictures above), only the backgrounds are in 1680x945, the rest of the assets are worked in 1080 so you wouldn't have problem at any resolution.

                                    Yes, those are the only two issues I left unsolved, The vertical spacing looks fine in most of resolutions but in 1080 does not match. I think its not so bad anyway. The dots I will see if I use an svg file to replace them

                                      Updated version
                                      Now you will find both backgrounds in 1920x1080 and the line height matches fine in that resolution :)

                                        I really love your design !
                                        Have you planned to create a 1280x1024 version (4:3) ?

                                          Really no, but if you try on that size it will fit fine, I played on lot of screens with different aspect ratio and all of them worked fine (excepted an old CRT tv with the RCA cable where the game snaps offset a little, out of that it worked fine in every tv I tested)
                                          Hope you can try and works for your setup

                                            Hi!

                                            I love your theme, it's very slick. I'm using ComicBook right now because it's really complete, but I like clean themes better (ComicBook is great but a bit busy-looking).

                                            Do you do requests? There are a few systems missing for my build (SegaCD has the 32X logo, and "ports" is empty).
                                            If not, where did you grabbed your illustration images so I can do my own and make a pull request?

                                            Also, I think the dots on the left are a nice touch, but they don't work very well. Switching from one system to another makes the dots jump around with no apparent logic, and some systems are missing them (DC, N64, setup, Kodi, favorites, last played). Is it just me?

                                            Lastly, I have activated the video option (gamelist view style > video) and I also have the game images, but the video is displayed above the image. Do you plan to make an option to display both side by side, or should I do it myself and make a pull request?

                                            Thanks for your great work :)
