      @Nismo @rookervik sorry. I totally meant to say pixel-meta.

      The Pixel theme that shows the metadata.

        Another example of quite a big change. ^_^ I'm really liking these!

          I'm working on a fairly decent update to pixel. Working my way through the logo graphics right now. I'll get video previews incorporated when I release the update.

          Are you saying my video update is not decent?... XD I released video update time ago...

              @Nismo Thank you for your work. Now that video has been incorporated into the RetroPie ES fork I will edit my theme and Carbon... and Luminous and the others, to have video as well. I didn't want to mess with it unless it was actually added to RetroPie.

              It also looks like Zigurana's carousel changes might be added to the RetroPie branch as well. I will keep my eye on that and see if it is added.

                    @Rookervik Your new console logos look fantastic! You mentioned changing the license; what were you planning on changing it to?

                      @mattrixk I'm planning on changing it so you can use the old logos and I use the new ones. :P

                        I've been toying around with the theme just to see if I can teach myself it. I'm having a hell of a time getting the videos to appear in the upper right hand box and the game box art to show up in the lower right hand side. I figured doing it would be much easier, I was wrong.

                          @ebtalk I believe when a video is found, the box art is ignored. But I can't be sure until I play around with it more, myself.

                            That's what I was thinking of. You've put so much effort into the new logos, it doesn't feel right to update MetaPixel to use them too.

                              Game & Watch had quite a small logo. Fixed that up...

                                Finally finished the logos. Took days. Some were completely re-drawn.

                                Added Mac Plus system. Now just checking to see if I can do something with those tetris blocks that won't make CrazySpence cry like a 2 year old.

                                Oh, and add video previews.

                                  @Rookervik awesome. Can't wait to see the finished product!

                                    Got video previews working. I don't think I want to add marquees. Trying to decide if I want to combine the metadata version and the regular version, or keep them separate. They shouldn't be hard to just keep as they are. Adding video previews makes the XML a heck of a lot larger... but it still seems to run just as fast. So that's good.

                                    Toying with removing the oldschool "3d" effect of the backgrounds. Might make it look a little better. I don't know. Cast your vote.

                                      @Rookervik Do you have an example of what it'd look like without it?

                                        @ebtalk That screenshot shows the background without the highlight effect "old school 3d". Instead of the 3D effect, it just has black lines between each square.

                                          @Rookervik i think i prefer the 3d effect. one thing that might be cool is making those background colour/shade variations as tetris blocks :)

                                            @dankcushions Hahaha, tetris is what I was trying to avoid. The entire theme is a big tetris game :D
