Love the joystick select icon you created in the carousel, any chance you could share that image?

@enginesol retropie has a custom forked emulationstation i believe so if there are things utilized by it then it probably wouldnt.

@skj sorry, @ruckage forbids it, it is his work and on theme and I customized it for my needs, as he has said users can do this but cannot redistribute his retooled works, and my image is custom for my exact hardware configuration (i.e. Mini-Pac, button layout, coin door admin buttons, etc.) so it would need to be heavily reconfigured to your setup to properly benefit from having the actual image, i would be glad to share the theme if @ruckage allows, but probably not...

@LinuxArcadeGuy

@ruckage Any chance to convert these themes to Recalbox?
Thank you very much!

Hi Ruckage,

i just updated my ES version to V2.7.5RP & the latest Retroarch to 1.7.3
and noticed that the NeoGeo theme is slightly messed up (see pic below)

The number of players are now misaligned compared to before i ran the updates,

@stuart2773

Thanks, I'll take a look and update it - should just need a minor adjustment. Is this at 1080p?

@ruckage

ive managed to fix this myself,

for anyone else having the same issue edit the neo.xml
and change the last line of md_players to :-

<pos>0.8901041666666667 0.8825</pos>

@stuart2773
Quick question, are you using this in windows on the Rpi?

The reason I ask is because that weird offset was originally needed to make it align correctly on the pi as there was a discrepancy between the way windows and RPI displayed that particular element.

Also if you wan't to be exact (as I always do 😊 ) the correct value to align perfectly is:
<pos>0.8901041666666667 0.8814</pos>

@ruckage

im using it on the Rpi, the original was <pos>0.8901041666666667 0.8855</pos> but after i updated the Rpi, the alignment was off so i edited the xml on windows to <pos>0.8901041666666667 0.8825</pos> and transfered it to the Rpi.

the 0.8825 was the most accurate i managed to get it on the Rpi after a few attempts.

@stuart2773
That's fine, I imagine then the rpi is now matching the behaviour in windows which is good so the values I provided above should be exact (I measure everything very carefully). I'll double check myself on the pi later today.

I've been working on adding a grid view option to the theme.

Hopfully in the future gridview may also support displaying the marquee image so when that happens the game title text could be removed and instead I'll have the marquee dispayed in the top right corner of the screen.

@ruckage

changed mine to 0.8814 perfect :)

I think the grid view is nice if you can display the game case covers or the cartridges. In this case, screenshots, i like the original NeoGeo theme style. Large screenshot with marquee top-right.

@ruckage,

Fantastic work.

I changed the design, but I do love the theme.

@ruckage ,

Please can i sample the grid theme.

Thank you.
