Epic Noir - Dark Mode Theme

@chicuelo Yes I also think that the Zelda series is one of the best games on SNES and N64 however it just seems better to not have the same identical poster on both SNES and SFC. I know how to manually edit the xml files and change the poster for the system. What I do not know is how you got the black fading effect on the poster so that it fades within the menu/indicators.
It doesn't have to be Bomberman for SFC. It could even be Super Mario World. Just an example.

@tpo1990 one of the most hard tasks on making this theme was finding or greating the image, not any image could go with the theme, if you find a very good one I could prepare

Hey all,
Apologies for the delay in uploading the latest changes but I've been quite busy with some other programming projects and I had to keep the theme in the back burner for a moment.
As Nico / @chicuelo mentioned, the latest fixes are now online. In the next few days I'll be working on the Power scripts (shutdown, exit, reboot etc) and I'll upload them also for testing.
If anyone has any issues or any wishes please let us know. :) -
A small ask...Is there any chance that there will be any images for Commodore systems added eg VIC20 & Commodore 16. I only ask as I use both these systems and I have created the system folders etc but my artwork is naff. I used game images of Blitz for VIC20 and some other game art for the C16 but both looks out of place.
I have tried to find images of games like Blitz that resemble the other art work but no avail.
Please...…
Kind Regards
CCF

I love this theme, thanks!
Maybe it's just me but it crashes ES immediately on 4.6 on a Pi 4. Can't seem to find any logs so if anyone can point me in the right direction here it would be appreciated.
Also, is there a way to remove the pictures of the actual systems? :)

EmulationStation logs are in
\\retropie\configs\all\emulationstation- you can check there for errors. -

ES seems to be generally very sluggish (with Carbon) on Pi 4, which I didn't see on my Pi 3b+. Maybe something else is off... Clean install so shouldn't be anything affecting the perfomance either.
Edit: Seems the lag is related to the 4k output according to other threads, so not relevant here I guess.
-
@Stuffu On my Pi I have also to split memory up to 512mb and set vram to 150 mb
-
I can confirm that switching resolution to 1080p removes the issue and the theme works as intended, so if you have problems using it at all on a pi 4, it’s likely related to resolution set to 4K.
-
@Stuffu Great data
-
@Stuffu great to hear that the theme works fine @ 1080p.
Regarding the 4K resolution I need to say that I find it a bit extreme. Even though the Pi 4 is quite a bit more powerful that the previous Pis I have my doubts whether it can smoothly display everything. Keep in mind that as the theme was created at 1080, everything would need to be upscaled at real-time.
It might be better to leave it at 1080p and let your monitor/TV upscale the content as needed. -
@chicuelo hey mate! Your theme is the best theme I ever tried on ES. I am prepping an old notebook for my nephew to let him play some older games but I think that the artworks for then systems might scare him.
Any chance to see a version with kid-friendly backgrounds? :)
