      Cool!
      Well, because the proposed canvas size is a little bit smaller than before, I guess you will have no choice but to reduce some of the images slightly to suit, otherwise they will go off the edge of the reduced canvas. Know what I mean?

      Cheers!

            When I get home I will take a look and test on my local install and let you know how it goes!! :)

              Scaling all working exactly as I hoped. Obviously I don't have all the systems, but I can't see why the others wouldn't display nicely.

              If you think there are any which in the end, you think are too large/small, it would just be a case of editing the image inside the SVG you made to the set canvas and re-saving I guess.

              The 'only' one which doesn't look as sharp as the others on first glance is the Dreamcast controller, and maybe it could do with being a touch bigger (closer to gamecube/n64). If your source is already at maximum size without scaling up, we don't need to worry about this for now.

              Since I made the video I also made a 'very' slight change to the positioning to make the margins between the controller and the edge of the screen exact and consistent with each other :)

              How do you want to put the changes live?

              Do you want me to upload the controllers to my fork along with the modified theme.xml and raise a pull request? I synced with your latest repo and made the changes to my local version. Or do you prefer another way? Not sure if you need or want to make any further corrections at this time? Otherwise I can just raise a PR and you can merge?

              Thanks!

                It looks awesome!
                If you want make a PR with the controllers and the xml update and I merge.
                I lately done a mame and Neo geo controllers update, but I think you downloaded that versions, if not I replace them after.
                there were minor changes on the darkness of the controller

                    Hi,

                    Yep, I freshly updated from your master this evening before making the changes.

                    I have raised a PR now, as follows:

                    theme.xml
                    Updates to controller sizes and position

                    Controllers
                    Update all controllers to set canvas size for scaling purposes

                    Readme
                    Quick update and tidy up, add in new blisters

                    Hope you don't mind me tidying up the readme a little bit, I didn't change much just some corrections and additions here and there. Apologies there are three commits for it, I realised it needed further edits each time I committed to my fork. I assume you can merge all the commits into a single one anyway for all my changes.

                    When complete, i'll update my main version from RetroPie Setup and test all is working ok!

                    Thanks a lot for your work on rescaling and reworking the controllers to my preferred size.

                    Cheers

                      Ooooh! Ha I raised the PR pretty much at exactly the same time as you wrote this.

                      Hope this does not cause issue for you. It should still be fine if you merge in my changes as your updates are all new files so no conflicts.

                      Once you have merged my changes in (including my readme edits), you could then update the readme to add WonderSwan as supported.

                        BTW, I noticed there is a standard (non color) Wonderswan theme.xml and Logo already in place, but no controller or background. I have added this to the 'coming soon' on the readme and updated my PR, or is full support for WonderSwan not planned? At the same time I have added WonderSwan Color to the readme as fully supported now. At the same time I finished reordering all the systems so they are in alphabetical order.

                        Thanks!

                          Great I will merge now.
                          As wonder swan monochrome there are a lot of system without the character and controller like colecovision, vectrex, neogeopocket ande NGP color , those will be updated soon! we already have the xml and the logo but it remains the character and controller!

                            No worries! Well I updated the readme so all the system info is nice and up to date now, I also added WonderSwan to coming soon and WonderSwan color into the fully supported system list.

                            Hope ok.

                            Thanks!

                              Done the PR! and thanks for upgrading my gramar! I not very good at English :)
                              Next step is completing the missing system list!

                              Thank you very much!

                                No worries at all! I hope you didn't mind me tweaking the Readme file to tidy some things up and rearrange the systems. Your English is actually very, very good btw!!!

                                I will make some further adjustments to the readme a bit later - just did some quicker bits for now. I think we can expand on some of the 'features' as well to let people know about the blisters, screenshot and video support and other things like that.

                                I updated my main theme from RetroPie-Setup, and all works perfectly! Great stuff :)

                                  Sounds great! When @cosmo0 finish with the genre files I will ad to the preview images on the readme so people can have a better idea of that!

                                    Excellent! I was going to mention that, certainly would be worth doing once those are completed.

                                    Cheers!

                                      @chicuelo Thanks but don't wait on me :) as I said, I'm not sure when I will do them, if I ever do.
                                      Right now I'm working on an arcade rom manager.

                                          Wow. This is by far my favourite theme. Once you add the rest of the systems like the Nintendo DS and the like, I'll give it an A+. It also would be need in the video game selection if instead of the console information, it'll show the game text/description.

                                            Just raised another minor PR:

                                            • Added custom collection theme.xml (required for when user creates a custom collection not based on an existing system/theme). Needs background and new logo creating though (used default carbon one for now and changed to white, as I don't have the original fonts/svg you used to create the others). Maybe you can knock a background up quickly like you did for the other collections? (last played, etc) and maybe change the logo to match them.

                                            • Some very minor positioning changes to main theme.xml

                                            • Some wording adjustments to the "all games", "last played", and "favorites" collections to fatten out the text a bit to make it look better.

                                            Hope ok to merge.

                                            Cheers
