      @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 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...

                      @Jaxel Congratulations! This layout of elements was great ... could you share those settings?

                        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

                                      Thanks for this great theme.
                                      These days i will pass my retropie installation on a bartop with a 4:3 monitor that display a resolution of 1280x1024.
                                      The 4:3 theme doesn't support well this resolution, the Launch & Favorite for example are truncated.
                                      Someone could tell me which xml files i have to edit to move some of the blocks?

                                        @fastpop72 Just to keep it straight, 1280x1024 is a 5:4 aspect ratio which is why the 4:3 doesn't quite work.

                                          @alphatoanant Hi, great minimal theme. If you permit I would love to use the gamelist view in an attract-mode theme. I will of-course give proper credit and link to your original work. Thanks
