Sure, if that’s ok with @chicuelo, I would be able to upload them.

@Lendersmark There is a "famicom" folder and a "FDS" one, I think both are the same and you have roms in both folders. I suggest to move all on a single folder and make the other dissapear.

I managed to edit all the system indicator files and created a 14 systems theme.
AWESOME!

I've got 30 on the go now, bloody indicators took me ages. :p

@AdamBeGood
Can imagine creating more will take a lot more time. 😃 I “only” had to remove 2 indicators from my set.

I had a good template system by the end. I still think of extra systems I want, and I'm hesitant as I don't want to mess with the indicators again!

Good stuff!!

Systems "name" are screwed.

I've just downloaded the theme from both setup and github and it looks the same (just in case any was wrong).

16:10 1920x1080, could it be the resolution?

Uhm, sometimes, starting EmulationStation fails with error:

emulationstation: /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/tmp/build/emulationstation/es-core/src/resources/Font.cpp:21: Font::FontFace::FontFace(ResourceData&&, int): Asertion `!err' failed.

@daviduco You are having troubles with the bigger system name text. I don´t know why could this be happening

daviduco

@chicuelo it's a retropie buster 4.7.1 fresh install.

Let me check tomorrow on a 1080p screen.

There are no errors in emulationstation log.

@chicuelo i've noticed i don't have any png for system in /_art/indicators path.

There's a call in theme.xml to those files for every sytem:

<image name="indicator" extra="true">
    <path>./_art/indicators/${system.theme}.png</path>
    <tile>false</tile>
    <color>F8F8F8</color>
    <origin>0 0</origin>
    <pos>-0.002 0.15</pos>
    <size>0 0.70</size>
 </image>

And yes, the bigger system name text works like a charm on a 16:9 screen.

16:10 doesn't like it :(

chicuelo

@daviduco Thats strange, maybe you could reduce the size of the font a bit.

In order to run, you have to rename the dot files according to your systems order

Love this. However, why is "FAVOURITE" the "X" button?

chicuelo

@dirty_monkee I think it was a design mistake. I will fix in some days

Panja

@dirty_monkee

If you scroll up a little you'll notice I have corrected the X for a Y and uploaded it here.
You can use that one for now or wait until @chicuelo fixes it officially.

@panja
I found this after I put posting my reply and have used yours, thanks.

Is there a way I can remove the indicators altogether as I have more than the allocated systems and can’t be bothered to add more via photoshop/inskape.

chicuelo

@panja The theme is uploaded on @nil06 ´s github, so he will have to update the project. I have some new images so we could make a bigger update

Panja

@chicuelo
Awesome! Looking forward to your new images.

I was wondering if someone could walk me through how to rename the .png files so my indicators show up in order. I have gotten to the file manager page that shows the .pngs I need to change and am pressing F6 but get stumped at that point as to what I should do.
