      @Rookervik I believe that has already occurred.

        @synack Ooh man. It's in our main branch? That means I can probably update ES and get the video previews? That's semi-exciting.

            @Nismo I don't really know what that is, but I can look into it.
            @CthulhuAndFriend I noticed that yesterday with the Asterix games removing the 'e'. I think the font itself is missing those letters.

              @mattrixk Now emulationstation support to displat video instead of images if video are available.

              I'm making a new theme and ported pixel theme to support video too.

              I like your theme so I want to add video support (maybe you want to do it yourself) and share it here with the community.

              Here's an example of pixel theme with video support i made:

              Regards.

                I use it to prevent spam, what could you possibly need to email me for after I activate my account?

                  @CthulhuAndFriend Why would you get spam ? Your email is private by default on the forum.

                  Also for things like password recovery etc. And the fact you were getting email notifications which were bouncing.

                  It's not up for discussion anyway.

                          @CthulhuAndFriend Accents and other font errors are ES problems and not theme problems.

                              @Rookervik Not tested but it can't be fixed by using another font with special characters?

                                @Nismo Nope, I've deliberately tried fonts with complete accent and special characters and they still don't display properly. Some sort of long-standing bug in ES, sadly. I believe there are problems with the & symbol as well. I just edit my games to remove the accent or special characters to get around the bug.

                                  @Rookervik I noticed the pixel theme displays the accented e character property. Do you know what the difference between the two themes that makes one work and the other not work?

                                    @Furluge Hmm, I can't tell you. Unless some changes have been made to ES since the Carbon days. I know we couldn't get accents working back then. (But to be honest, long ago I changed all my games to remove the accents, so I couldn't tell you if it's been fixed. LOL)

                                      hey hello hehehe, i personally love that theme and i need to ask.

                                      now with the video preview option, you have planned to update the theme to have the support for the videos to this theme??

                                        Hey @derek2k09. Yes, it is on my list of things to do. I need to update all my themes to support Video Preview, but I have other stuff on my "to-do" list before it. I just finished making my ES Toolkit, so that's a big thing out of the way, but I'm also elbows deep in a new theme. Making dozens of custom console graphics is time-consuming, I don't know how Rook does it so efficiently.

                                        I think I'm going to set a little time aside soon to update my existing themes, because it might be a while if I wait until after I've finished my new one.

                                            @herb_fargus That page is a work of art. Also, I thought @Rookervik had updated Pixel to use video previews (although I could be wrong).
