      @lipebello I don't blame you for your decision, but I am saddened that your beautiful work will no longer brighten our days. I hope you find success in other art endeavors. You are supremely talented.

        just came across this. damn shame, just a damn shame. it just shows the type of people out that are out there. that is why i do not follow any group out there are are selling this for money. they will do anything and blame everyone else who tries to do things the correct way.

        I stand with you on your choice to pull your art.
        Im with a few others there. i hope one day we see you return.

            Let's say that if you manage to find it, it'll go against the will of the author.
            As sad as it is, because this theme is a masterpiece, I don't think people here will help you to find it, simply out of respect for the decision of @lipebello.
            Personally, I even went to delete the theme from my setup.
            Let's just hope he'll reconsider his choice one day.

              I completely understand. It's a damn shame tho. I'd petreon that theme is a jiffy!
              Altho I'm sad it wont be around anymore, still mad respect for the author!

                So can you keep the theme, and not have the error when trying to update? That's a bit un-nerving, esp if you are not really experienced with your little pi.

                  Does anyone have suggestions as to what other themes might be similar enough in functionality/looks?

                      @stephanepare If you check @lipebello 's youtube, he has an awesome Swineapple theme on there. Not sure if that was removed but you might have more luck google-ing that.

                      Other then that, I'm trying to create my own theme now inspired by Retrorama. I use to be a graphic designer (now a stay @ home parent haha) and i think it's always a good thing to learn some new creative ways. @lipebello Don't worry, i'll only use Retrorama as inspiration, i won't use or copy the actual assets. Depending on the results and if Doodle's cool with it, i might share it eventually.

                        I'd love to see what you develop. @lipebello had really well done handdrawn artwork.

                          @sgtjimmyrustles That's the biggest obstacle for me, I'm not that much of a handdrawing artist XD. I'll try my best digitally tho!

                            e for me, I'm not that much of a handdrawing artist XD. I'll try my best digitally tho!

                            Well, digital or handdrawn, it was good. You might also look at the comicbook theme here and take inspiration from it. You got any examples of your artistic work?

                                  Anyways great work man !. Don't be discouraged by a bunch of copyright-credit crooks. Just remember the consensus knows a lot of time and effort was put into creating these singular images from scratch, like real hand-drawn stuff. Props dude props!.

                                        Any news on wether we are allowed to share this theme yet.
                                        By the looks of it lipbello has gone from the scene and no longer responds to any comments.

                                        I purchased another pi for a second system and noticed this theme was missing whilst trying to set it all up, so a quick search on here and i found out he was no longer doing it which was such a shame as I really don't like any themes except his.

                                        Anyway a friendly user told me how to take the theme from my other pi to the new one.
                                        In the process I backed up all the retrorama theme,intro vid, overlays and launching screens that were all done lipbello.
                                        So if we are ok to share I do have his whole collection all backed up ready to go :)

                                          Pretty sure his license allows for redistribution. Should say in the rar./zip folder

                                            if they asked for it not to be shared, then we don’t share it. if they’ve left the scene it’s because of people not respecting their work and wishes.
