    In collaboration with @nil06 (c64-dev) we present this brand new theme called Epic Noir.
    It's a Dark Mode theme and it is available to download from GitHub or From the Retropie Themes menu
    My last theme was shutted down due profit issues from other users, so please be conscious about this contribution.

    The theme contains an editorial feel with an epic look, just how you remind retro games as they where.
    88 systems are supported (included genres, collections, favorites and power for those who use it).
    It also supports an indicator system where you could display the position of your systems if you desire covering 16 systems plus power, setup (retropie) and favorites

    To make the indicator work with your build, you have to rename the png files located in ../art/indicator/.png , acording to your es_system order:
    If your first system is mame, you have to rename the png with the first white dot as "mame", if your second system is Neo Geo, you rename the png with the second white dot as "neogeo", and doing so until you achieve your systems with a limit of 16 systems.
    In case you dont have a power menu, you can replace this item too. Retropie and favorites are already set.

    Recomendation for Pi3B+:
    Split memory up to 512 mb
    Set Vram up to 150 mb

    DOWNLOAD LINKS

    EpicNoir 16:9
    EpicNoir 4:3

                @chicuelo All good

                Though for a second I was like "did I black out and forgot that I designed an entire theme?"

                        Once again, a massive well done to you and lilbud.

                                    Did anyone call my name? :)

                                    I am thrilled to be seeing such great response to this new project.
                                    From the initial idea by Nico to the final development it took a lot of work but the result is worth it.

                                    Among other things, one of the things that I'm personally quite proud about is the optimization of the theme. With the old Chicuelo theme I found that it was very heavy on the little Pi, and I wanted to try to optimize this one to run as fast as possible.
                                    As a result, all the code has been written from scratch and although it is fairly graphics-heavy, all the images have been optimized using algorithms to reduce their sizes (some by even 70%), while keeping the image quality as high as possible.

                                    As @chicuelo said, we are waiting to hear your comments about it! :)
                                    Hope you enjoy.

                                      @chicuelo So, it's designed just for retropie? Because it doesn't work properly on my pc. :(
                                      Pics:
                                      20200404_163922.jpg

                                      20200404_163938.jpg
                                      I restarted emulationstation and the saturn background appeared. I restarted it again and it disappeared.
                                      20200404_164057.jpg

                                      It appears that it has to do with my laptop's display settings. The recommended display setting for my laptop is 125%. If I leave it at 125% then all themes won't fill the entire screen, but it will properly display all of the artwork. Pic below:

                                      20200404_165534.jpg

                                      I have to lower the display setting to 100% so they all cover the entire screen.
                                      It's on my end. I apologize.

                                          @Mr-Berlin I'll give it a shot. The one I downloaded is only 18mb.
