SNES mini theme

Hey, sorry if this has been asked. I haven't looked at my setup in a year or two. Is it possible to have the SNES theme on the SNES page then the nes theme when browsing nes games?

Hello, I have been reading through this and cannot seem to find a solution to my issue. If I downloaded the theme through ES Themes, am I able to edit the carousel icons and backgrounds? For example, add in ScummVM, Apple2, Kodi, etc. Because as of now, they show up on the carousel but just as text. I can't seem to find the themes and art folders mentioned in posts on here.

@Stepghad Disregard, I figured it out...

I've been right through this and can't see any icons for Atomiswave or Naomi. Anyone know if they're out there and if so, do you have a link?

These ones also have no official icons. Given how demanding the systems are in general, they don't usually fit with a Raspberry Pi theme I'd imagine. Here's a couple I whipped up for me. Please replace with any Ruckage icons should they officially come out.

Thanks! this awesome theme is still alive! In the ruckage github there is a version of 2-3 years ago. Where can I find an updated and most complete version?

That's kind of the point - there isn't. And this is exactly what I warned people about years ago and every one attacked me for saying it. It would be really nice to have a community created version with all the systems and such that Ruckage himself likely would never have added. I'm not suggesting that he must accept community creations into his theme - just to allow the community to fork off their own versions.

I've just have been quietly building out my own version which is using the nes-mini style subtheme as I bought the NESPi 4 case that just came out and felt more appropriate. I absolutely love this theme and I hope that maybe Ruckage would someday reconsider. (And no, don't ask me for it.)

I have been busy with other things, that doesn't mean I'm not going back to this theme. Apart from anything I need to rework it and add in grid support but unless things have changed very recently grid support still has some bugs that need ironing out before I can safely add it for general use.

@ruckage I had forgotten that you had even posted about the grid support before. I don't have any info regarding that myself - I've only just come back to the Pi after being away for a few years exploring Pandora's Boxes and such. Last change I see in emulationstation regarding grid support is back in March: https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/commit/c114ef05ac2a992d1b6071789df7efbdf9a1747d

Seems like most of the grid related stuff is being worked on by this guy: https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/commits?author=jrassa

@ruckage How can we edit the theme to where a second image shows in the game description box? I attempted it and got it to work but it raised the background shadow behind the other box showing the artwork.

I've taken the liberty of creating an Atari 800 icon. If anyone needs one while waiting for the official icon, feel free to use mine :)

And here is my icon for ScummVM as well. I tried to make something that matches the Daphne icon in style, using some iconic Day of the Tentacle art :)

Is there like an Excel Spreadsheet of which Icons are missing, and which need improving?

nesfredo

@superrune Great, could you share logo and backgrounds?

I created a icon for the Saturn ;) but I don't know how to add it to the theme :(

@nesfredo I did not create any logos, and I re-used one of the empty backgrounds that already existed. Can look at making logos and backgrounds at a later point.
