        @newellj79 It's already working in 4/3, i try it in 640x480 and with the % ratio all elements are at same place but smaller.
        It's a skin create to put and use many informations and media, it's impossible in 4/3 to use them all with a font size enough to let you read text.
        I don't use normal and detailled view, i think i will use detail view to try to make the 4/3 theme. With cover and text, and after 5 sec the video that replace the cover. I think we can't do it better.

                    If I could make one suggestion, I would put the release date with the game details, and move rating up where the release date is just to streamline the game info a bit more.

                      Thanks, but i want to move release date to player number, and i want to move up player number with a special font to show better VS, COOP, and ALTernative game.

                          I have work a lot to make some cool improvement to the skin :)

                          • Possible to remove the HELPBAR on the gamelist to save space for description and gamelist.
                          • New icons to show player number and multiplayer style : Vs / Coop / Alt(ernative)

                          0_1519648543144_Sans titre-2.jpg

                          I found no where any icons to use for multi-style ... i have create them myself.
                          If some one have some cool ideas and want to share other icon, i'm open.

                                I updated 15 systems today ... i work on it every days ... i already can share it but it is not done and if i do it i'm sure many people will ask me for systems not done yet, and ask so many questions that will make me lost time to work on it.

                                You will see when i will release it, i add more stuff than i use in each system directory. If i can found and work on more system photo, more different logo, i add them to let the user choose what he want to use.

                                I make for the systems the French and English Description and Informations. But there are not perfect because working on graphism take me already many time ...
                                I search some people who want help me to read and correct english text and why not add an other language.

                                        Here is a new RVGM skin video, to show all the Retropie supported systems i've made.
                                        On theme from one game for each system with background more empty possible, and the hero sprite in front.
                                        With big system logo and many informations ...

                                        I've already done :

                                        • Almost 62 systems ...

                                        I have to add 9 more systems :

                                        • MSX 1 & 2 (already draw 1 & 2)
                                        • MSDos (already draw 386 & 486)
                                        • Atari ST (already draw)
                                        • Game & Watch
                                        • Dreamcast
                                        • PSP
                                        • All games
                                        • Favorites games
                                        • Last played games

                                        I have made 6 not sported yet by Retropie :

                                        • Apple 2e
                                        • Apple 2gs
                                        • Supervision, Watara
                                        • Creativision : Maybe trying with lr-mess driver crvision : 80-100% speed
                                        • Interton VC4000 : Maybe trying with lr-mess driver scv
                                        • Amstrad GX4000 : Maybe trying with lr-mess driver gx4000 : 65% speed, some games still feel very playable

                                        More come quickly ...

                                        Now you can try it on with the GIT, and track my updates :

                                        Collaborative work :

                                        • I search some one to help me and correct english texts.
                                        • If some want to help and add more language it can be really cool : DE, ES, IT, JP, ...
                                        • For all the systems you already have the FR and US machine, some time the JAP one too ... you can help to add more.

                                        • I'm open to all ideas to improve the theme. I know i must also continue to work on my XML.

                                        NOT ask for theme problems and crash, it's a beta not finished!
                                        And on my PI i have activate all the systems ... and now the theme is bugging, flicking ... ES memory problems :(

                                        Life is game, just play it !

                                          Very nice skin. I'm eager to try it. Hoping the developers will address the issue in ES if it's confirmed.
