      @sergioad I've been thinking about a Kodi theme probably since I started with making themes.

          @sergioad I've been thinking about a Kodi theme probably since I started with making themes.

          I started theming because I wanted to recreate the look of the Kodi theme I'm using, but I ran into layer issues back then. I could do it now, but I still had to rely on Mix images because we're still restricted to one image per game. And since recreating all images for my games would take so much more time then creating the theme would, I'm not going to do that.

            UPDATE TIME

            I updated the theme with a new, more Kodi-esque look.

            And to those of you who like the old layout, cough @EctoOne cough. Don't worry, the old layout is still included with the theme, just got to switch them around in the theme.xml

                Great job with the theme! It looks fantastic. A few comments:

                1. I'm still seeing the old version (with the hexagonal patterns coming in from the upper-left), even when I update through the RetroPie-Setup script. Should I be doing something else to get the new look? Sorry if that's a noob question.

                2. In the system select menu, the Virtual Boy logo is showing up in red for me, while all of the other systems are in white.

                3. In the game select menu, instead writing the system name in regular text in the upper-left corner, have you considered using the white version of the system's logo from the system select menu? I feel like that'd really bring the theme to perfection for me.

                Thanks again for putting together such an elegant theme!

                  @rhinofinger Okay

                  1. That is just the default wallpaper, you can place your own image in the assets folder and name it 'bg.png'
                  2. I'll fix the logo sometime tomorrow (not home at the moment.)
                  3. I decided to do that in text just so it would look nicer. Besides, the layout for version 2 would not allow the logo to look good, it would be shrunken very small.

                    Is there a location for the original version of this theme? I am using the version from Nov 11th and liking the layout and BG from the original shown at the beginning of this thread.

                      @p0wd3rd If you go into the layouts folder, there are 2 xmls. V1 & V2. If you go into the main theme.xml, change all intences of V2 to V1.

                        Awesome and simple theme. I'm testing other images for background and it shows in a blue tone. Do you know what could be? Thank you.

                          @jrochagouveia In the layout file, I added a color tag to the background image. Check the layouts folder and go to V2.XML.

                          Remove this line from your copy of the theme.

                            Hi, I was just wondering if you have a source for the background used in the very first image in this thread? (The dark blue with all the coloured hexagons in the top left corner).
                            Sorry if it's already been posted here or it's hidden somewhere in the files of the theme; I can't seem to find it anywhere :(
                            Any help would be appreciated

                                  Whenever I install this theme on retropie, I get the default black-and-white "theme didn't work" theme. Any help?

                                  Running Raspberry Pi 3 Model B (if that helps)

                                          @lilbud Hi Lilibud, love this theme! I know it's been around for a while, but I'm trying to use it. I downloaded it, but can't find the beautiful background shot you used. Can you help me track it down?

                                            @markbollobas The hexagon background should be in the extra's folder. Or it might be somewhere in this thread, I don't really remember
