      @benmclean This might be an obvious answer but have you seen the Retropie Docs page on Creating Your Own EmulationStation Theme?

        No, didn't know that one existed. I'll definitely read up on that, thanks.

          @folly Wow, that looks great! I say let's go with it. :D

          What would be the next steps?

          It should also have that controller.svg .

          As the carbon theme is the default it should certainly be added to that theme.

          You have to make a fork of :
          https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-carbon
          Then add your theme and do a pull request so it can be added.

          I have learned now that they want everything in one commit.

          Before doing a pull request ask Mitu or Buzz if the commit is enough otherwise you get tangled in pull request without knowing what to do next.

          Read this and you know what I mean :
          https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/pull/3400

            @folly it's pretty standard for projects wanting changes grouped into single commits, but squashing commits is a 1 minute job in the command line once you know how. i know it's a pain but i encourage you to learn git on the command line: https://git-scm.com/docs/gittutorial - it's a useful skill these days!

              If I get a good or at least reasonable pull request put in for adding pico8 to Carbon, will it take months or years to be merged in? I see other PRs sitting there a long time.

                Well it seems I did manage the squashing part, but the pushing part did't work
                Thanks for giving me the link, I will look into it deeper.
                Hopefully I will get the picture ;-)

                  Please, do continue, otherwise we don't get any further and that would be a shame as we are almost there.
                  I think the pico-8 will be accepted much sooner than other systems.

                    You have to force push like a Jedi in order to rewrite history like that.

                      This is what happens when I try to load emulationstation on Windows.
                      MESSED UP.png

                      So I guess something about how the Windows version draws SVGs is messed up.

                        Can you share your controller.svg ?
                        Let me see how it looks on Linux.

                          I tried it on RetroPie and it looks correct on there. Just not on Windows. Weird.

                            Not sure what the problem is.

                            I had a look at the system.svg .
                            I can pop out all objects so it seems to be a pure .svg .
                            Nevertheless vector images and inkscape can be a pain.

                            Are the other systems looking good on windows ?

                              The Windows version I set up only had SEGA Genesis and Super Mario War which looked OK.

                                @benmclean are you running retropie on windows or is it just emulationstation ?

                                You can't beat the classics(unless you copy them).

                                  It was just the emulationstation portable build for Windows provided in the tutorial of how to make your own themes.

                                    The hold-up at this point is the controller.svg. I'm going to try a few different things to decide what looks best before submitting the PR.

                                    I might also want to do TIC-80 and LowRes NX soon-ish.

                                      @benmclean lr-tic80 has now been merged to Retropie-Setup so having a TIC-80 icon would be great! TIC-80 already has icons in the Cygnus Blue Flames theme, so it'd be good to have on Carbon as well.

                                        PICO-8 has been merged too ;-)

                                        @dmmarti can you add this information in your first post ?

                                        Lowres-nx should be the next one.
