      @alphatoanant And on emulationstation restart after adding that line, I get this error.

        @phoenixflood this had me stumped šŸ˜€. I looked at it with fresh eyes this morning and I think I see the issue - try moving the include line above the view line and see if that fixes it (check my code block above - that’s the main difference between what you and I have)

              @alphatoanant Did you ever figure out the splashscreen generator issue for pc98?

                @peligwe, no I haven't had a moment to go back to that unfortunately.

                  I love this theme!! :D But i think the main menu is a little bit to clean.

                  Would something like this be possible with ES? The background image is from the "bichromatic pads" collection of retroarch.

                  0_1506166970406_artbook_menu.jpg

                  Hello and thank you for such an ellegant theme.
                  Is there a way to have this background per system with the joypad activated?
                  Is there a way to activate a custom splashscreen while launching every different system? I have a custom launching jpg at this moment for my chosen systems.

                        @rek607 I had looked at this in the past and it caused some performance issues if I remember so I dropped it until I could find time to dive deeper into it. Sadly I haven't had time to revisit it. I don't think there is a way in retropie yet to add this as a configurable option.

                              Hello guys!
                              I would like your help to make 2 changes.

                              1. Remove the metadata information
                              2. Use a .PNG for the gameplay image

                              It's possible?
                              If so, could someone give me a light?

                                @anderocha yes this is possible. It can be done by editing the theme.xml file within the theme. You can edit this file using a texteditor program. I would check out the info to give you a clearer picture of what you are looking at.

                                https://retropie.org.uk/docs/EmulationStation-Advanced-Theming/

                                To erase the metadata you would erase the code pertaining to the data you want to eliminate.

                                The video can be replaced switching out the code pointing to a video with code referring to your screenshot.

                                Does this make sense?

                                  @cnoto First of all, thank you very much for the support! It has already cleared ...

                                  I opened theme.xml but I didn't find these two codes that I need to change ...

                                  Would you have the lines referring to metadata and replacing the video with the image?

                                    @cnoto About video, I found these lines here:

                                    <delay>0</delay>
                                    <default>./_inc/videos/static.mp4</default>
                                    <showSnapshotNoVideo>false</showSnapshotNoVideo>
                                    <showSnapshotDelay>false</showSnapshotDelay>
                                    </video>

                                      @anderocha im away from my computer right now, but can hop on in a bit to give some more detailed advice.

                                      From a high level, you can take the size and position data from the video related code you shares and create an entry in the ā€œdetailedā€ section of the code to add an entry for the screenshot.

                                        @anderocha To add more color, add the following code to the detailed section (under <view name="detailed">) in the theme.xml file.

                                        <image name="md_image">
                                        <origin>0.5 0.5</origin>
                                        <pos>0.540625 0.705555555555556</pos>
                                        <maxSize>0.25 0.3333333333333333</maxSize>
                                        </image>

                                        Then go to the main menu in emulation station (by pressing start) and choose UI Settings, then Gamelist View Style and choose detailed.

                                          @cnoto I have these 3 options:

                                          <view name = "basic">

                                          <view name = "detailed, video">

                                          <view name = "video">

                                            I removed the video from my detailed, video section as I knew I wouldn’t use the video, but you can leave it as is. This just means the code below will apply to both. In short, add the text I included in the last post in the detailed, video section.
