        Great job!!!

        Can you release a 800x480 version similar to the 320x240 portable version?

        My 3.5" TFT display needs some acaling adjustments and perhaps scrolling text if to large to display and a larger art box work.

        Thanks for all your hard work its greatly appeciated.

          @coutu thank you! I'll take a look at creating a 5:3 version to better fit that slightly wider resolution. I am hoping be able to do a quick visual test this weekend and if so i'll post back what comes out of that.

              @yiazmaty and @lilbud what resolution do you typically run emulation station at (i'll match it on my end to see if I can replicate)? Do you see this on other themes or only Art Book?

                @alphatoanant I use Emulation Station primarily at 1366x768. I notice this on all themes to some extent.

                  Love this theme, one of the best for me, but i have to confirm yiazmaty and lilbud issue about fonts, my output is 1080p.

                    Love the theme. So nice and clean!

                    Just curious which custom collection type is everyone storing run and gun style games ( “e.g metal slug, sunset riders)? And also old fixed screen games like Pac-Man, Galaga? I’m trying to organise my arcade collection into genres like fighting, sports, puzzle etc...

                                I would like to know if it is possible to change only the background image of the main menu without changing the game selection screen.

                                    I made a little adaptation to the wonderful art-book theme.
                                    For the time being, I added colored logos and changed the background only.

                                      @ande-rocha It's great what you've done. From what I see though the game description text is barely visible - perhaps you might want to switch it to white. I'd gladly use the theme edited by you in the future, if you decide to share it!

                                        is it possible to change the background of the system selection menu without changing the background of the game selection menu?

                                          @ande-rocha Yeah you could, you just need to tweak the xml.

                                            @ande-rocha yes it is

                                            Check out these blocks in the XML:

                                            This one controls the background defaults for all views

                                            <view name="system,basic,detailed,video">
                                             ...
                                             <image name="background" extra="true">
                                              <tile>true</tile>
                                              <origin>0 0</origin>
                                              <pos>0 0</pos>
                                              <size>1 1</size>
                                              <path>./_inc/images/space.png</path>
                                              <color>141414</color>
                                             </image>
                                            </view>
                                            

                                            And this one sets an override for the detail and video views

                                            <view name="detailed,video">
                                             ...
                                             <image name="background" extra="true">
                                              <color>cccccc</color>
                                             </image>
                                             ...
                                            </view>
                                            

                                            There are a few ways you can approach an update to get what you are looking for I think.

                                            For example:

                                            • Change the "<view name="system,basic,detailed,video">" to just "system" and add the image you are looking for there
                                            • then add a new background definition under "<view name="basic,detailed,video">" and copy the previous background color settings there

                                            Let me know if that helps
