        @SinisterSpatula I saw your modifications done to multi-switch. I think I'll add this as extra function and will later rewrite the same commands. Insteads of --ES-RESTART a command like --PG-RESTART and --PG-PID

        As kind of autodection it will ask the PIDs of ES and PG and can then decide which system to use ;)

            So cool, and it's looking very promising.
            I'll let you know when I've given it a whirl :)

              Revised a lot of the Platform logo's today. Also added TG16/Genesis option to the settings menu. Disabled the close menu on left/right press on the Platform menu.

                Since I'm not owning a RetroFlag GPi but a Kite Curcuit Sword build, I cannot find the safe shutdown script you mention.

                However, I found the cs_shutdown.sh file in /opt/ folder, and it looks like this:

                #!/bin/bash
                
                # Get ES pid
                ES_PID=`pidof emulationstation`
                
                if [[ $ES_PID != "" ]] ; then
                
                  echo "ES_PID: $ES_PID"
                
                  # Touch the shutdown file
                  touch /tmp/es-shutdown
                  chown pi:pi /tmp/es-shutdown
                
                  # Tell ES to terminate
                  kill -s SIGTERM $ES_PID
                
                  echo "ES has been asked to shutdown"
                
                else
                
                  echo "Could not find ES PID ($ES_PID)"
                  sudo shutdown -h now &
                
                fi
                

                Should I just replace the following line:

                 kill -s SIGTERM $ES_PID
                

                with something else?
                You mention crcerror shutdown script, but I don't know if this would work with my build, or what it would do differently than the above...

                Can you help?

                  @AndersHP Well my script terminates the emulators before initiating a shutdown. So there is a chance that SRM saves and gamelist metadata is saved properly. That's the only difference. And yes it would work with your build ... if you want

                    So you are crerror?

                    I'm no coder so I cannot tell what the scripts does. Should I completely delete the cs_shutdown.sh script and add yours or? Can you see what the script on my build does?

                      I was missing some modifications to multiswitch.sh, I updated the install and usage guide. (Before it would have just killed pegasus and stayed stuck on the terminal, sorry about that). Once Cypherghost updates the safeshutdown repo (to handle both ES & Pegasus) we would just use that instead.

                        Yes that's me

                        Can you see what the script on my build does?

                        If you are still using ES than your script would be just

                        /opt/cs_shutdown.sh

                        #!/bin/bash
                        ES_PID=$(pidof emulationstation)
                        if [[ -n $ES_PID  ]]; then
                            bash /path/to/multi_switch.sh --es-poweroff
                        else
                            sudo shutdown -h now &

                          Not using ES, the point in this thread is to use Pegasus....?

                            @AndersHP Ah then you need to change the code in multi_switch. Like @SinisterSpatula did. Instead of searching the PID of emulationstation you search for pegasus. His modifications are posted here ...
                            If I've time I will add this to multi_switch, too.

                              Updated some platform logos:
                              alt text

                              Also added alternate "Favourites", you'll need to rename favourites.svg to favorites.svg manually if you want to use it:
                              alt text

                                So, I finally got around to getting this up and running, and it looks pretty good!
                                I really like the easy tweaking of the settings menu. And the performance of the theme is really good!

                                However, if I could make a request...?
                                I would really like for the grid view to look like Pegasus does. Really close boxarts with no text, and automatic scaling between portrait and landscape. But maybe it's more a matter of tweaking the Pegasus original theme..

                                Edit: Oops.. There's no audio in games when this theme is activated. No problems when I switch back to Pegasus Grid theme...?

                                    I am using this theme on my pc. I have made adjustments for it to work better for my screen size. I really like this theme, but I am having one issue. Some of my games are not showing the preview option (video) even though there is a video there and the video works in other themes. Most of the game videos are working fine. Please help.

                                        @SinisterSpatula Hi I just saw this thread and I think Pegasus is awesome. But I do have some things to ask if you figure it out yet.

                                        Can we change Pegasus boot loading? and making the boot to silent boot. And also when we launch games can we hide the command text?

                                          @joharibk hiding the boot text has nothing to do with Pegasus and this Pegasus Theme, even less.
                                          Maybe you need to follow this tutorial of how to hide the boot text
