      For me it is not working, no logos, no background, only writing. Which version of retropie does one have to install?

        @Cybermen I believe it only works with 4.4 and up

          Can this be downloaded from the themes manager or does it require a manual install?

              @Super-Retropie I assume that "for now" alludes to it being available through the gallery at some point? That would be super convenient

                @simpleethat I can always hope that It would be added to the ES themes menu but it’s not up to me personally.

                  @Super-Retropie You could always make a pull request for the es-themes.sh page. Thats how the themes get into RetroPie.

                      @fastlowrex Do you have the ability to get this added to the retropie install list?

                        The theme repo name needs to be changed to es-theme-[name] before it would work it looks like. I can do the pull request or anyone can, but the repo name has to match the official naming style. edit: Yup, this confirms it: https://github.com/$repo/es-theme-$theme.git

                            this is really a great looking theme! I just finished my work on the pixel theme to match it the GPi display and I'm really satisfied with the result, the layout is close to this. But then I come on here and see this and be like "welp, these hours could have been spared"

                            have you used any specific options when converting with ffmpeg?

                            edit: my only critic is regarding the font size of the developer and release. Maybe the upper right box could be made a little bit smaller so the middle box can be expanded, so that 2 lines of 0.04 font fit easily, and bigger ratings vertically-centered, just my 2 cents :)

                            update: the rating stars are per default not as big as in the picture, but it can be fixed by changing the size of said in the xml.

                              @SinisterSpatula Do you have a discord to kick around ideas for the GPI case or do you primarily use facebook?

                                    Thanks for your premade image for the GPi-case
                                    It's solid and mostly correctly setted. Thanks for this giant prework!

                                      Looks great, I will definitely use this once my GPi is in! I like how it'd complement the look of the Picade.

                                      Just to be sure I understand correctly: this theme is now in the latest RetroPie install and can be accessed through the theme manager?

                                        If anyone after me comes here with the same question: it's in the theme manager but with the current RetroPie image, you're going to have to update your packages before you can see this theme in the list.

                                        Looks great, thanks for the theme @Super-Retropie!

                                          Love the theme. Only issue I have is that the background blanks out for a moment when changing systems. In the video in post #4 this does not happen, at the very end beginning at 5:50.

                                          I am using RetroPie 4.5.1 image with GPi patches and safe shutdown, fully updated, no other mods. Happens whether I install it through the Retropie Setup script or manually as described on the Git page.

                                          If anyone has any idea how to fix this, I would be very grateful. Everything else is working fine, but this really triggers me, as the theme is super nice otherwise.

                                            @kendon I can't remember if I had to fix this theme for the same reason but I believe that if you change Transition to Instant in the UI Settings of the EmulationStation menu it should work.
