          Is your cygnus-modified based upon this:
          https://github.com/ChoccyHobNob/es-theme-cygnus
          Which is now :
          https://github.com/TheRobotFactory/es-theme-cygnus

          And did you did these modifications all by yourself, or is there work from others ?

            It's the work of others.. My Cygnus_modified is based on the work of this guy "ChoccyHobNob". That's why I have never push my work to far on the official Retropie Theme list. However I think mine Is better and more completed (more systems). I've change a lot of images and logos. I got images of systems with the controllers. Originally we do not see the gamepads. Also, I changed the background for blue flames. This theme take in charge games logos, videos and 3d boxes. It's a good theme. I don't remember from which hyperlink I got It.

            I don't see major changes from the original on https://github.com/TheRobotFactory/es-theme-cygnus .
            just an update for carousell and some minor things.

              I was thinking should we make a fork of the old theme and then move your files to it as a commit
              and then change the name to cygnus-modified or to cygnus-modified-mamedev to make a statement that it can be used for our script ?

              Then we can work towards a base for the three themes that are developed with extra mame stuff.

              What do you think ?

                  I don't know how to do that. Is it easy to do. I'm gonna read about that and try.

                    Yes it is,

                    Just log in on gihub.
                    Then go to the repository which you want to fork.
                    In this case, https://github.com/TheRobotFactory/es-theme-cygnus
                    Then click on Fork. (not the number as this will show you the forks)
                    It will make a fork repository under your name.

                    Let me know how it goes.

                      I see you have made a fork.
                      Did you manage by yourself or did you use my post ?

                      Now you can add your files.
                      Make sure you have the correct repository. (your own fork)
                      https://github.com/DTEAM-1/es-theme-cygnus
                      Go to "Add file".
                      Then drag the directories/files to the box.
                      If you want to try first with one than just drag 3do to the box.

                      If you want, you can drag all directories/files in one go.
                      Be sure you drag the same structure as how it is on github !

                        By myself , but now, how I move my files to it as a commit?
                        What do I choose here. Do I have to create a new Branch or drag in the master :

                          I always commit to the master branch .
                          But If you want you can make an other branch .
                          You could name it something like "modified".

                              I can't put more than 100 files. Do you know why?

                                No, I never did more than 100 files.

                                Can you do it in parts ?

                                Ok, just learned something.
                                I says here that a commit is limited to 100 files :

                                    It works for more than 100, but you have to create a new commit after each 100 files

                                      Edit :
                                      I have to go now.
                                      Good luck with uploading.
                                      I will look at it again tomorrow.

                                        Done, It’s on GitHub!! Retropie theme : Cygnus - Blue flames

                                        Theme good for (3D box + marquee (logo) + video) in same time or for single images . Don't use OMXplayer.

                                          I just added your theme to the esthemes module-script just to test it out.
                                          Installing works ok.
                                          I see there is still work to be done for the missing systems as you then get a black screen.
                                          But other than that, it looks really great !

                                          You should rename your repository to something like "cygnus-blue-flames" or "mamedev-cygnus" (just like I did with carbon).
                                          Well, you have to decide for yourself, just don't use spaces in the name.
                                          That way you have a unique name and it will not conflict with other cygnus themes if they are in the list.
                                          I can't tell you now how to rename.
                                          But it wasn't too hard, so I think you will find out how to do it.

                                          Then you can just add the line to :
                                          /home/pi/RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/esthemes.sh

                                          'DTEAM-1 cygnus'
                                          

                                          Or after you renamed it :

                                          'DTEAM-1 cygnus-blue-flames'
