      Thanks :-).

          Since it seems some people are starting to request certain themes now, instead of me posting them individually when asked, I have went ahead and uploaded my current 3.2-Beta of this theme. Which can be found here: https://github.com/Zenjir0/es-theme-ComicBook/tree/3.2-Beta

          !!!PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A BETA!!!
          To my knowledge it should work fine, most people might say it is in a "good enough" state to at least be usable.
          But I assure you there are still several tiny issues here and there. Of which you are free to open a ticket on or mention here and I will address it when I find the time.

          28 New System Themes
          34 New Custom Themes

          Current Change Log:

          Upscaled older system image files by a factor of 2 using Waifu2x.
          Removed Tutorial archive
          Removed Unused assets
          Optimized all PNG images to 128-bit color using PNGquant
          Moved launch WAV files to corresponding "hacks" systems
          Replaced all SVG files with PNG files
          Removed all "controller" images

            Thank you. Now I'm only missing Sega Model 2 (AM2) and Sega Model 3. If you ever complete those, I'll look for them here again. You have done a great job at including more systems. In my opinion, this is a nice theme and is just as impressive as the SNES-Mini, but unfortunately my TV uses a 1024x768 resolution. Because of that, it doesn't show the title of each game centered with box art on the left and the description/information about developer, publisher, the genre, and game rating on the right.

                @Striderx99 I got a Model 2 and 3 in the works. Also I am curious as to what it looks like, are you able to upload a screenshot to here or my github?

                @dusty048 I still have a lot of work to do. My grand scope for this project is to also make it more accessible for others to create and build upon it.

                  I'll get some screenshots of a few of the Model 2 and Model 3 games for you. Include them in the theme for each if you would like to do that.

                    Here are two links to those pictures I mentioned. I apologize if the pictures aren't that great, but they should at least give you an idea of what these games are like.

                      @Striderx99 Thanks for the screenshots I will try to include them in the Model 2 and Model 3 comic.

                      Also what exactly does this look like?

                        Sorry, but I was referring to the issues I'm having with the SNES-Mini theme. It doesn't seem to "behave" well with the Retrobat version of EmulationStation on Windows 10. The funny thing is that I have used this same theme on Retropie on my Raspberry Pi 3B and it displays exactly the way it should. To see exactly what I mean, just click on this image here:

                          @Striderx99 You should report this to the RetroBat package maintainer, the difference is the EmulationStation version included in that package - it might be a bug there, not in the theme.

                                  @salor10 Thank you for sharing. I added them, and they will be included in the next official release. I also added you to the ReadMe for credit.

                                    I wanted to post this here for feed back.

                                    One of the biggest changes I am planning for this next release is to make this theme more "Living-Room Friendly" which basically means, increasing the font size by a lot. (Also see 10ft Interface)

                                    I did not include these changes in the Beta I just but out because I was afraid it might be to distracting for some users. Here are two snap shots of before and after the font change:

                                    Current:
                                    Preview 2.png

                                    New:
                                    2020-04-26 22_33_59-EmulationStation.png

                                    Notably I only changed the Font Size of the Game List and the Description sections. I also tinkered a bit with the description scrolling and selection highlight cursor to better fit their respective areas. If you wish to try it out your self just replace the comic_book.xml file with this one. Beta_Comicbook.xml

                                        @salor10 They look great! Any chance that you'll make them for 4:3, too?
