      So im having issues with the snes mini theme where the game list boxes are oversized and rendered incorrectly. However you can see the blue outline on the selected game, rendered correctly. Anybody have this issue before? I really wanted to use this theme. My resolution is 1280x1024. Image is below:

        By default, the theme is configured for a 16:9 resolution aspect. In order to change it, you'll need to modify the theme's config.xml file as explained in this customization guide.

          @mitu used all the resolutions but they had the same issue. I fixed it by making the bars smaller and modifying some code. Here is what i did. Reference if someone comes with same problem.

          First here the two smaller images. https://imgur.com/a/BbOfzr7
          I named them gamelist_outline_smaller.png and gamelist_background_smaller.png

          Uploaded this files to my pi on /etc/emulationstation/themes/snes-mini/art
          then modified the setup xml with

          sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/themes/snes-mini/layouts/setup.xml
          

          replaced both paths with the new images like this example

          <image name="gamelist_background" extra="true">
          			<path>./../art/gamelist_background_smaller.png</path>
          

          since my resolution is using 4x3 i went and

          sudo nano /etc/emulationstation/themes/snes-mini/layouts/4x3setup.xml
          

          i replaced gamelist outline so it alignscorrectly, with this code

            <image name="gamelist_outline" extra="true">
                                  <origin>0.5 0.5</origin>
          
                  <pos>0.7055555555555556 0.5</pos>
          
          

          and done
