          @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.

              @ande-rocha Wow the theme you're using is quite impressive!!! Is it your own creation?

                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

                                    absolutely loving this theme, less is defo more :D good work alphatoanant

                                    would there be any chance of getting an openbor system added please? i have had a go myself... added an openbor folder and converted the logo .svg (which i nabbed from the first post in this thread) into a monochrome .png. it's working, i've got an openbor system with the logo displayed which is cool but the .png is pretty pixelated and doesn't look great compared to your logos. (i tried a few different online .svg converters before resorting to converting the logo to a .png)

                                    i've also tweaked the background colour on the system selection on my setup to make the background black (000000) instead of dark grey (141414), looks ace... the system logos really pop out.

                                    cheers!

                                      Thank you @agboju_logun! I'll start looking at editing the openbor logo and will post something in the next few days. I should be able to edit the raw SVG from that thread to convert colors and things.

                                          @agboju_logun I had time on my commute today and committed an initial take of the theme and system logo to github (its in /es-theme-art-book/tree/master/openbor).

                                          I edited the raw SVG from the thread you linked, removed colors and cleaned up paths so that it would sit well on a clean dark background. Let me know how it looks on your end and I can make tweaks no problem.

                                          As far as theme layout - I kept it at default as I am not sure yet how OpenBOR metadata and images are sized. Default is pretty good from a general perspective so it could be ok but glad to make tweaks too.

                                          Thank you @darknior for creating the initial OpenBOR svg - I'll make sure to give you credit in theme readme.
