        @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 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.

                        @ruckage Hey guys, i loved this SNES mini theme, but it does not work on my Windows Emulation Station set up. Any help is appreciated. The theme shows up in the "Configure UI" menu but when it's selected it's just a black and white theme. I think this theme works only in Batocera or in Retropie, but I only use EmulationStation in Windows 10. Please any help!!!

                          The theme uses some theme features present in the RetroPie fork of EmulationStation. If you're using the EmulationStation version from emulationstation.org, then it will not work. Try the Windows binaries from https://github.com/jrassa/EmulationStation/releases.

                            Been using this amazing theme on my windows version of Emustation for a long time now but recently I noticed in any of the console sections the usual 7 game list entries only shows the top 6 and ignores the last one.

                            Not altered any of the XML files or data, very odd indeed.

                              Are there still any missing systems for this theme?

                                  Was there ever any update on @benten2000 question of only 6 game list entries showing up with a blank spot at the bottom instead of the full 7 entries? I am having the same issue, and insight would be greatly appreciated

                                    @ruckage and all

                                    I just installed a new Pi0 into a Retroflag GPi case (4:3 - 320x240 screen resolution) running Retropie v4.7.1 and am trying to get SNES Mini going on it.

                                    I didn't see a 320x240 setting in the config.xml file, so I used 640x480. For the most part it looks great! Except in nes_mini background mode, with nes_rich_usa set, the image that I think is supposed to be the carousel background (black with a top and bottom border) does not appear as in the ## BACKGROUND GUIDE 1 ##.JPG image. Instead it is centered in the middle of the screen as a 1 or 2-pixel image filling the entirety of the 'Y' coordinate, but not stretching to fill the entirety of the 'X' coordinate.

                                    Is there a simple fix for this? I really would like to use this theme, I love it...but this issue definitely triggers my OCD, lol!

                                    Here are some examples of what I am talking about (and please disregard the missing icons for those systems, I am still building this out...)

                                      Great job, but I miss Atari 800, in Retropie it has this system by default. Hopefully you include it in the future.

                                        Recent emulationstation broke this theme as described in:

                                        https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/8391/cardboard-mini-nes-nes-mini-and-famicom-mini-themes/1339

                                        Thanks to @i5rael_lp , I fixed it via modifying /etc/emulationstation/themes/snes-mini/layouts/1920x1080.xml:

                                                    <textlist name="gamelist">
                                                            <pos>${listx} 0.186</pos>
                                                            <size>${listWidth} 0.648</size>
                                        

                                        However, even with the fix I'm getting random emulationstation crash that I don't get with "basic" themes like CARBON:

                                          This theme recently broke for me as well. Hope someone with the skill is able to figure it out, as these are the best themes in Retropie IMO

                                            This works for me as well. I want to apply this same fix to the NES-mini and Famicom-mini themes but their initial values were not quite the same, so using these same replacement values (second param only, I left the first params alone since they don't use the ${vars}) is also not quite aligned. How did you come up with these numbers? How can I calculate the right values to use for the other themes, (or is it just repeated trial & error?)
