        @chicuelo That might break what is in ES Theme installer. I think that one points to /Chicuelo.

          @chicuelo just to expand on @HurricaneFan's observation, the ES theme installer in RetroPie expects the repository name to be called es-theme-<themename>. So if your theme is declared in the installer as chicueloarcade Chicuelo, the installer will check out

          github.com/chicueloarcade/es-theme-Chicuelo
          

          If you moved the repository, then the installer will not be able to install/update your theme.

            @mitu Thanks, but thats the exact name my repo has: es-theme-Chicuelo so ES will look into there. I assume its working fine

              @hurricanefan it should not break it. If you look at the other themes listed, none of them contains the es-theme part. It is just the maintainer name and the plain theme name.

                  Hi @chicuelo !

                  I have created a pull request to add "SegaCD" and "ports" to your theme : https://github.com/chicueloarcade/es-theme-Chicuelo/pull/1

                  Please let me know if there is any problem with it ! :)

                  Thanks

                    No problem! feel free to add new systems. As long as you don't publish and make money its okay :D
                    I use sega 32x as sega CD system, that's why I only create that system.

                      @chicuelo of course :)

                      If you're interested in integrating my changes, open my pull request and click the accept button. It will automatically merge my change in your theme.

                      Then, in your local copy, do either a fetch and rebase (git fetch then git rebase if you're using a command line, or the corresponding buttons in a GUI) or a pull (git pull) to get the latest changes on your computer.

                      If you're not interested in my changes, no worries :)

                        @chicuelo It's possible to adapt the theme to monitors with 4:3 or 5:4 resolution? Thanks!!

                          Thanks! I will look how to do this, I am not so good with gitHub yet!
                          I have only some guidelines to add new systems, for the character, it should be one background and a character of a game, the most iconic. And it has to be standed on the ground (not floating). For example in Ports, there are four backgrounds and the logo in the middle. the best option will be using one game and the character to match all other systems.
                          For the controller, I will try to make that mouse more reallistic, between a render and a fine illustration. Following that your changes will be gorgeous and perfect integrated on the theme!
                          Thanks for your help!

                            I tried using this theme on different resolutions, screens and aspect ratios and retropie solved well the display, there was only a little offset on the in-game screenshot in RCA displays with smaller resolution. But it was a little detail, otherwise the theme looked good in every screen I tested so Im not planning to adapt the theme yet

                              @chicuelo Yeah I tried to find the most iconic port but I really didn't know what to choose. Doom guy maybe? Yeah in retrospect, I should probably have gone with that...

                              No need to thank me, you have done all the hard work ;)

                                Hi! I have updated the pull request by changing the "ports" images:

                                The "character" is now Doom Guy. I even added a shadow under his feets to "ground" him :) I hope it's not too bloody?
                                In case you wish to change it a little, the source of the image is the Doom wikia

                                The "controller" has been changed to a Logitech mouse (I just removed the logo). It's a photo (source) but I think it looks fine along the others. What do you think?

                                  Great! I accepted the pull request and it merged successfully (I think!). The changes are visible now on the repo!

                                    You may have missed something because I don't see it accepted, but it's a good thing, I made some more updates just now :D

                                    • the "ports" controller is now a keyboard : it's more easily readable, and integrates better with the other controllers, since it's "up front". The mouse was not "from the front" and it was a little weird.
                                    • there is a now a PSP system :)

                                    I'm pumped up to make some more systems... maybe :D

                                      Ah I see what you did : you have merged the pull request in a branch. I'm not sure what you clicked exactly, it's been a while since I worked with pull requests.

                                      Maybe my pull request is wrong (I should have created a branch). If you can't just merge it into "master", let me know and I will create a new (correct) one.

                                        I used the desktop Github App, and make a pull request, that updated my files and now I can see your changes, I don't know if that's enough and I have to do anything else to complete the pull

                                          And now I have added a "video" layout for the theme :)

                                          When a video exists for the game, it replaces the game image/screenshot with the video, and replaces the system description with the game marquee (title/logo).

                                            Ah ok! I think I see.
                                            Make sure you are on the "master" branch in the app. If you are, sync the changes in your local copy to the server: https://help.github.com/desktop/guides/contributing-to-projects/syncing-your-branch/#platform-windows

                                            A more simple way to accept a pull request is to go to your repository on github.com, click "pull requests" on top and click "accept" (or whatever the button is called, I don't remember exactly).
