      @mitu You are right. I just now noticed the last updates done on the ES branch.
      Even like this though, the forked codes seem to be very similar to one another. Especially when it comes to the themes, they are pretty much interchangeable.

      I had a quick look at Recalbox theme's main xml code and the elements and structure are the same. With a few adjustments the current theme should work OOB. @Sheyk90 how about you give it a try and report back?

        @nil06 One thing that it might not be supported by Recalbox is theme variables, which I think your theme uses (i.e. ${system.theme}).

            @chicuelo HI! Would be possible to create a version following the RA convention?
            B -> Select/Enter
            A -> Back/Return
            Y -> Favorite
            Thanks for the amazing theme!

              The available themes on their repository don't seem to use variables, but unless we tried we wouldn't know for sure if they work or not.

              It appears that their themes get the system logo (or text label) directly from each system's xml with the following code:

              <image name="logo">
              <path>./data/logo.svg</path>
              </image> 
              

              Since this label is standardized, it would be trivial to add it to all the systems' xml files and make logos out of the text labels.

              The real issue is that I am running RP emulationstation and I can't really be bothered to build the recalbox ES just for checking out the code.

              I know. I had already seen their new repository in gitlab, but the theme code in the updated repo is still identical to the old one.

              Gitlab xml
              https://gitlab.com/recalbox/recalbox-themes/-/raw/master/themes/recalbox/main.xml

                Sure, I wasn't the one requesting a Recalbox compatible version. If someone using it wants to port, I guess they can submit a PR to add the specific RB theme version to your repository.

                  Me neither :) There is no "Call of Duty" if someone wants a new feature ;)

                                    Awesome theme. This theme is just what I have been looking for so long. It works but has some minor flaws. This is from my Raspberry Pi 3B and I pulled from the git repository as the instructions told me to.

                                    First on FinalBurn Alpha. the font or image is not rendered correctly. see picture
                                    noir1.png

                                    Second. After I have added Wonderswan and Wonderswan Color as systems, the Wonderswan Color text shows up as ghosting on some of the other systems pages. See the pictures and notice the ghosting in Virtual Boy and Wonderswan.

                                      @tpo1990 Final burn alpha is a type size issue, the ALPHA word is rendered like that due a size support. I will check it, wonderswan and virtual boy I have no idea whats going on, are the only two who happen this? or other one line name do this too?

                                          Have to give props like everyone else, this is a beautifully clean and well thought out theme.

                                          I am running the Damaso nostalgia trip v2 image on my pi4 and would love to see everything on there supported. Here is what I can tell is not displaying any art or titles:

                                          Atomiswave
                                          Naomi
                                          Openbor
                                          Nintendo Hacks
                                          Super Nintendo Hacks
                                          PCFX
                                          PSP Minis
                                          Genesis Hacks

                                          Past that, it's awesome and keep up the good work!
