        @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 feel free to edit the post with your release. Also feel free to update your github repository with the completed theme as I'd like to test it

                      @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.

                              Github repository has been updated, ready for testing. It works on my end, try it now.

                                  @lilbud I tested it with ~30 systems and it didnt blackscreen this time so that was good, its much improved. The icons on the retropie menu could probably be improved so they are full size at 512 px by 512 px as they are currently stretched vertically.

                                  I've also added it to the main retropie setup script as an option.

                                          Can you add Famicom Disk System, Löve, Kodi, and ResidualVM art to the theme? :)

                                          Don't sweat it.

                                            @lilbud Looks like Arcade is still missing, yet it's not listed on the repository as a missing system. I know others have mentioned it. We really need more support in themes for Arcade, as it conveniently allows us to group games regardless of the emulator it takes to run them.
