      Very nice, look forward to the rest. Will you be doing Arcade and Daphne as well? Only a few themes support those as far as I could find.

        Also, when it's complete, you could take a couple screenshots of the system screen and gamelist screen and make a pull request to https://github.com/wetriner/es-theme-gallery and an addition to the images.list, so they're available to preview in the esthemes module. If you want everything up to date right away.

          @Finhead Yes, as it stands, I plan to do every system, even regional variations like the Mega Drive and the PC Engine

                  @Finhead yeah, no results on the ES Scraper for any system after about 5 min of being frozen. Sselph's Scraper, I go to "scrape chosen systems" select Amiga, (or any system) and it fails to scrape. I just need people to test if box art is the right dimensions.

                    I can try it out for you no problem, if you want to go through it and send me a download link you can Send me a message on my Facebook page since I don;t think this board has a PM option.

                          @Finhead Here you go, The Daphne material theme. You will have to replace the Daphne folder in the simple theme, for this theme is based off of that.

                          Daphne download

                            I installed this to try out but I can't seem to get Daphne to use images. I think it's a issue with the emulator not the theme though.

                                  I don't think that would fix the issue with Daphne if that is what you mean. I "think" Daphne rewrites the gamelist.xml file every reboot. At least that seems to be the case for me, everytime I change the file to point to artwork it reverts back to the original xml when I reboot for the changes to take effect.

                                    Would I edit this post for the release of the theme, or would I make a new topic?

                                        @lilbud a few thoughts, I have maybe 20-30+ systems on my testing build and a new thing is happening: black screen of death! ha ha but its essentially the same issue as the whitescreen, so I'm wondering if there are ways of simplifying it like we do with carbon to not eat up the RAM as much.

                                        You can look at what rookervik does with the carbon theme background with a tiled png rather than a full image for the background- not sure how much of a difference that would make, but may possibly alleviate it somewhat.

                                        You may also want to reference the systems off the carbon theme as it is more complete than the simple theme

                                        SVGS also are more clear and typically take less memory than pngs

                                        Its looking really good though :)

                                          @herb_fargus I used a tile for all backgrounds, and all logos are .svg files. All changes are made on my github. Try and test it now.
