        The font you use for the console names looks awesome! What's the name of that font?

          @ruckage this new theme looks amazing indeed! any chances of uploading it to your GitHub in an es-theme-* repository so it can be put in the official retropie theme selector?

            Yeah it's a great font, it took a lot of hunting to find a suitable font for this. It's called 'Road Rage'.

            Thanks. I'd love to create an es-theme repository but the theme uses features that are only available in the dev branch of ES which would cause confusion (it wouldn't work at all with older versions of ES). Once those feature are in the main branch of ES I'll add it to github so you can install it from the pi itself.

            It's pretty easy to install the theme manually. For those who don't know you can create a theme folder on the samba share. Go to /configs/all/emulationstation/ and create a new folder and name it themes. You can then just drag and drop the theme folders into this newly created folder and they will be selectable in ES.

              Ah right! you mentioned it needs ES-dev. Fair point. You are right that we can't add it right now to the theme selector interface. However, you could still in the meantime upload it to GitHub (and for now just not link it in the theme selector).

              I mention this because some users (like me) like to use wget/curl/git to transfer/install things in RetroPie and the current Mega-based link is not very convenient for this purpose. If you upload it to GitHub, a simple git checkout makes it very straightforward for us :) It is your call in the end, of course, but just wanted to bring this use case to your attention.

              GREAT design work, again!

                  Thanks. I'm going to hold off on adding the theme to github for the time being but once the main ES branch is updated I'll definately add it to github. I can't imagine it will be too long before that happens as these changes have been on the dev branch for quite a while now.

                    ruckage you made me finally switch off of your snes mini theme for another theme of yours. Love your themes man always main on my pi. I updated to dev branch right away and installed this as soon as I saw it. Using bluesteel variant and loving it. *edit love the samus which I call Ironman variant too.

                        Its great to hear you're using the theme, glad you like it. Don't know why Ironman didn't occur to me when I named that colour scheme as that would have been perfect as well. I do love Metroid though which probably explains why that was my first thought though Samus's suits is probably a more orangey red. My 3DS is actually the Samus edition as I thought it looked great.

                        Luckily my dad doesn't use the internet so there is zero chance of him finding out :) . He does like old games though, particularly 'shoot 'em ups' so I'm hoping he'll get some fun from it playing the games he used to enjoy along with discovering some of the many other games that will be totally new to him.

                        I need to make sure I get some Atari 800 games on it as the Atari XE was our first computer and 'Missile Command' and 'Attack of the Mutant Camels' were 2 of his favourites for that machine.

                            I can probably sort something out however it will only be be usable if you have Photoshop CC as the layer styles I'm using aren't compatible with older versions of PS.
