        Thought this community might be interested, even though its not Retropie related. I recently ported this this theme to the new Emulation Station Desktop Edition theme engine, as i was looking for something with a little more horsepower that a raspberry pi.

        Theme with a few screen shots here:

          Is your theme backwards compatible ?

            @Folly It is not. The whole reason i did the port was to take advantage of the new capabilities in their 2.0 theme engine like console videos and game list carousels

                              I tried to create logos for the auto-random and Singe systems here:

                              system2.png

                              system2.png

                              I use the Favorites background for the Random collection, and Daphne's for Singe.

                              Unfortunately, I cannot get them to be as finely defined as others' here, but they're good workarounds for now in case they help others.

                                  hope you like it, today I have seen you message ;-) I am thinking about making a nice background for Random but i have no ideas right now.

                                  Singe

                                    @3Draco These are awesome - thank you! Hope you also have the chance to enjoy the new additions to EmulationStation!

                                    Questions: is there a known repository for the theme that we should submit these to? I know that the original one is no longer maintained (though maybe they'd take a PR?), and there are other forks. Just so we don't lose all this great work here in the forums :)

                                    Also, what software did you use for this? I made mine on GIMP, but I wasn't happy with the definition. Thank you for doing this.

                                    Best.

                                      There will be a day when I will update my system, but it will take some time since everything is working at the moment ;-) However, I would really like to have the random function.

                                      I think there is a repository that doesn't run with Retropie. But I'm thinking about revising the theme and then making it available.

                                      I do all the things in Photoshop but as far as I know TMNTturtlguy originally created them in GIMP too.

                                        @3Draco Well, you can easily just backup the EmulationStation version you have, and just install the emulationstation-dev package from the experimental menu in RetroPie-Setup. Worst-case scenario you can always just copy your backup on top of it - or simpler, install EmulationStation again from RetroPie-Setup. It should be safe, though I understand the importance of having a stable version that's working :)

                                        I think TMNTturtlguy used Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, but I saw a tutorial with GIMP that I tried to follow. These are awesome, though, thank you so much!

                                            Are folks still creating new logos for new systems or collections?

                                            I am looking for a Pinball and RPG logo. If anyone knows the font, I can try and create them myself. Thanks!
