      @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?

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

            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.

              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.

                @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

                    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.

                      @cress5 You have to rename the files inside the indicators folder from 1st-system.png to 16th-system.png, Eventually, 1-st-system should match the first system you have listed in your es_systems.xml, 2-nd-system with the second and so...
                      For example: if mame libretro is the first sistem you see, you have to rename "1-st-system.png" to "mame-libretro.png", if your second system is nes, you will have to rename "2-nd-system.png" to "nes.png"

                      Its very simple, the name of the png indicates the position of the white dot.
                      NOTICE that if you have more than 16 systems they will lack of indication.

                        So I accidentally stumbled across this theme. WOW!!!

                        I was in the process of switching over to using this theme when ES started crashing. I have a 4GB RPI4 with 39 systems. I did the GPU split and VRAM adjustments but ES sill keeps crashing.

                        Any ideas

                            @mitu Doing the lastest update of retropie and theme finally fixed my issue. Thanks.

                            My next question is, could the following systems be added?

                            Philips CDi
                            PC-FX
                            Sony PSP Minis
                            Sharp X1

                              @peligwe Not plans on adding new systems, but you can manually ad your own by cloning existing ones and changing the artwork!

                                @chicuelo Right after I posted my question I realized I could just add the systems myself :)

                                Before I start creating my own system themes, could you provide the details of game name in the top right corner of the system view? Font type and size?

                                  @peligwe You will find a xml inside each system folder with all the texts of the theme, also the font and the size

                                    The text I am referring to is on the poster in the top right hand corner. (I figured out the other text was in theme.xml)

                                      @peligwe You mean the name of the game? that text is pixel based, directly from the jpg

                                        @chicuelo Thanks, much appreciated. Just the info I needed to add systems to my retropie build.

                                          Love this Epic Noir theme!

                                          I tried to work out how to ask you directly via PM on the Retropie Forums but couldn’t work it out :(

                                          I have a Pi 400 4Gb and have tried to install your Epic Noir theme via the Theme installation method within Emulationstation AND via Github https://github.com/c64-dev/es-theme-epicnoir
                                          and for some reason this crashes Emulationstation when I change the theme using both ways :(

                                          I'm sure I've done something wrong but wondered if anyone had the time to have a think what could be stopping this beautiful theme from working for me?

                                            @nevsan Hi, not sure about your setup but running it in 4K crashes the theme on startup. Could it be that you are running retropie in 4K? Not recommended to do that so if that’s the case you should change it.
