    @Rookervik i think if you darkened up the sides of the letter blocks it would be perfect. I really like this one. Its just a little hard to read the word. But i do like it. Im a little partial to honeycomb though.... :)

        I haven't re-uploaded anything since the site change. You can get the Theme Helper in my dropbox: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60872572/EmulationStation/ES Theme Helper3.rar

        It's windows-only. If more than 2 or 3 people used it, I might use Construct 2 and make an HTML5 version of it that would work in a web browser on any system. But I think there are.... exactly 3 people that use it. LOL.

        I would like to use it! How's this HTML5 versions coming? :P

          Hi everyone,

          I'm trying to change de default Retropie Settings icons with the ones that come with the Pixel Theme, and so far, no luck :(

          I've tried changing the location of the icons in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/retropie/gamelist.xml but it doesn't seem to work.
          Am I looking at the right file?

          I'm trying to change the icons path from

          <game>
              <path>./audiosettings.rp</path>
              <name>Audio</name>
              <desc>Configure audio settings. Choose default of 'auto', 3.5mm jack, or HDMI. Mixer controls, and apply default settings.</desc>
              <image>./icons/audiosettings.png</image>
              <playcount>6</playcount>
              <lastplayed>20161123T202849</lastplayed>
          </game>
          

          to

          <game>
              <path>./audiosettings.rp</path>
              <name>Audio</name>
              <desc>Configure audio settings. Choose default of 'auto', 3.5mm jack, or HDMI. Mixer controls, and apply default settings.</desc>
              <image>~/etc/emulationstation/themes/pixel/retropie/icons/audiosettings.png</image>
              <playcount>6</playcount>
              <lastplayed>20161123T202849</lastplayed>
          </game>
          

          (I'm not sure if the ~ is right, but it'ยกs not working anyway)

          And is it possible that this file resets itself every time the system starts? Because I tried changing

          <name>Audio</name>
          

          to

          <name>Whatever</name>
          

          I restarted the system and the title was <name>Audio</name>back again.

          Thanks.

              And why not create a fork of Pixel with 8 bit NES like selection / cursor movement sounds? Pixel sounds maybe?

                @sergioad Editing it with sounds is fine. But most users complain about whatever sound you choose. So I chose not to have sounds in the theme. It's better than getting 150 comments saying "This sound is annoying. Change it." lol.

                    Can you tell if I'm editing the right file /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/gamelists/retropie/gamelist.xml
                    Thanks!

                      Hi, ive seen a version of this on your tube that when you select a game, the screen zooms into the box art or screenshot thats being shown top right.

                      how did they do that?

                        @a7mag3ddon Change the Emulation Station setting from fade to zoom under the UI section.

                            Some guy on youtube seems to have managed to run this theme in a 4:3 aspect ratio. Any idea how he did this? Is this related to the theme, or is this a Raspberry Pi setting?

                              All themes will run in whatever resolution your system is set to. Since his is set to a CRT Television, it's 4:3 and the themes are displayed at 4:3.

                                @Rookervik Ok, but do you know how to set the resolution to 4:3, then? There's three of us trying to find a solution in this thread: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5856/component-out-to-4-3-crt-via-3-5mm-jack

                                  @felleg The Pi automatically sets itself to 4:3 when it boots and a TV is hooked up to the RCA cables. If you're on a HDMI TV trying to get into a 4:3 resolution you can do it by messing with the config.txt. But it's kind of silly to do that on a widescreen TV.

                                  config.txt video modes: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/configuration/config-txt.md

                                    @Rookervik Maybe it would be best to continue in the thread I linked instead of derailing this theme thread, but I'm not so sure the Pi boots in 4:3 when using the 3.5mm AV cables. I sadly don't have my monitor around to take a picture, but just to give an idea, it feels like emulationstation is displayed in 16:9 (even on the CRT) and the games are in 4:3.

                                    That means the games look fine, but the menu gets cutoff
                                    I can try to mess around with the overscan so that I can see the whole menu, but then the picture of the games get squeezed horizontally.

                                      That did work but it zooms into centre of screen and not into the top right corner.

                                          Hey guys,

                                          I added a set of SG-1000 roms, but can't see them. Is it on this theme systems ?

                                          Amazing theme BTW. Thank you!
