        @chicuelo All good

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

                A fantastic looking theme! I’m so glad that you have decided to release your work again, just love your designs. When will this be available to from the es-themes menu?

                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_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.

                                      I re-downloaded it, but the zip file was the same size.

                                      With my display settings at 100% every system background except for the nintendo 64 displayed correctly.

                                      Edit: I added more games and now every system I have does not display the background.

                                      I changed my display settings back to 125% and the theme works properly.

                                        @chicuelo @lilbud , as always sorry for my bad English :" but the theme is a peace of art , i like artworks so mush , how it all blend together and how it's look like so gentle and classy , it really shows that it take alot of work a time so thank you for both of you

                                        for cons , it miss a lot of systems like cps1,cps2,cps3, Naomi, Atomiswave, satellaview, sufami, amigacd32, PC-88 , PC-98 , Sharp X1 , odyssey2 and videopac+
                                        i hope u can add these in the future
                                        the dots panel on right which change when you change system , i have ocd and it's make me really angry , i hope they move with sequence and not being a static part of system art
                                        At last it's a great theme , easily one of the best so a lot of thank for you both and keep the good work up

                                          @Mr-Berlin Hey, more systems will be added on a future!
                                          The dot indicator works fine, you just need to rename the images properly, if your first system is mame, you have to rename the indicator with the first white dot as mame, the second as your second system and so.
                                          In my build I have 16 systems, retropie, power and favorites so they match perfect with the indicators.

                                            @SP I had some font issues on my pi when I was testing, If I set a big size it will not display. By chance can you change Emulationstation vRam to 150 mb? On my Pi3b I have splitted memory to 512 mb and increased ES vram. That made all display fine
