      Looking good, looking great! Eager for the final result. Based on the feedback from launchingimage.s, there was no 'theme.xml' file, so I guess no 'psp-minis' folder.

      Now that I've thrown a new request into the bucket, I noticed something odd about the PSP logo. It has the registered trademark stamp. Is that required to use the logo or was it something you decided to keep?

      I only ask because you did all the theme work, not them.

        Hi @peligwe, I just committed an update to the repo to add the custom theme for pspminis: https://github.com/anthonycaccese/es-theme-art-book/commit/6f5ca8924bdbb8e012406edd5cbe0db39d533835

        I wasn't able to find a good reference point for the boxart orientation. So for now I matched the psp theme layout (which uses portrait orientation for boxart). Let me know how that looks on your end.

            Discovered one issue when generating launch images. The logo is cutoff.

              @peligwe I unfortunately don't currently have a test harness set up to check launching images. But I did compare the SVG and think I may have found the difference that is causing what you are seeing above. Just committed the change to github now. I hope that works - if not I'll see about getting a launching images setup going.

                    Since I recently got an RPI4, I'm back into retro gaming and have been and new systems to my gaming setup. Looks like I got Philip's CD-I working and wanted to see if it could also be added to your theme?

                      Hi @peligwe there is a folder for CDI in the theme called "cdi". Do you know what folder name emulationstation is looking for? If so I can update the name to that and it should work.

                        @alphatoanant According to another post it looks like "cdimono1" is the folder name. I also double checked what RetroHursty uses for his themes and that matches up to the folder above.

                          thank you @HurricaneFan! Just updated the source folder name to match and merged to github. That should do the trick after updating @peligwe.

                            @alphatoanant Sorry didn't get the chance to replay, family matters. Yes the cdimomo1 is the correct working folder. Will give it shot later today.

                              @alphatoanant Just did an update and everything looks stellar. Once again thanks for the quick response.

                                Man! You can’t beat the support here. Although the CD-i stuff doesn’t pertain to me, Art Book is by far my favorite theme for my RPi. Always. Thanks again a million times @alphatoanant

                                  Hello everyone! I've been tinkering but can't quite get the desired result. Is there a way to have the main menu icons to be colorized? I love the minimalisim of this theme, just want a touch of color to splash up the main menu. Again, just want to colorize the system logos on the main carousel.

                                    @PhoenixFlood You could swap out the logos with logos from a different theme. You just have to make sure you name the replacement files the same as the art book theme files.

                                      @HurricaneFan Thank you! That totally triggered a lighbulb of new ideas in a different direction!

                                        @PhoenixFlood I actually had the same idea and swapped out the logos. 78863ACA-A9E6-47E9-83BE-61986BC692DD.jpeg A4AAF8F2-0596-40FA-A8BE-A8467302140B.jpeg

                                          Hello guys, what configuration to use a SCREENSHOT instead of the video?

                                            @anderocha this happens somewhat automatically in EmulationStation depending on what you have scraped (If you have video scrapped it will show the video view for example)

                                            So there are 2 ways I know of to have it display images:

                                            1. Scrape only images for your games (do not scrape video) - this makes emulationstation show detail view by default
                                              or
                                            2. you can manually set the view to detail view in emulationstation settings (its under settings menu / ui settings)
