      @meleu I'm lazy :P - Renaming is not really a problem, but in case of any updates, it has to be renamed all the time. Just designed the script to be adoptable easily for other themes as well.

        Yeah, I was thinking in doing such thing in bash to let the users execute the script on the rasp, but unfortunately the theme makers don't have a standardization for the file names...

          there is a pull request for game and watch:https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-carbon/pull/19 I haven't gotten to testing it yet

          I've tested right now and it's fine. The red game and watch logo looks fine with a carbon background. I think that renaming system3.svg to system.svg is reasonable too...

            Anyhow, I created new fixed launching images for G&W, GC and Steam. Currently I see no issue anymore. :)

            edit: Images are also compressed by default to reduce filesize. Changing the background from carbon_fiber to carbon_black reduces the filesize significantly. It can be changed in the batch file.

              @daeks WOW!! Really neat!! I'm writing a bash script right now to let the users create it on their rasp. I'll give the credits to all of you guys! :-)

                @meleu I think you can reuse the convert parameters on linux as well. We should only consider if carbon_fiber or just a black color should be used as background. It reduces the filesize by ~50%.

                edit: If you want you can also contribute your script to my repo with your credits. Then we have all at one place.

                  The logos need to be raised a little to balance out the image. It's too heavy on the bottom as they are. Otherwise looks good enough :D

                    @daeks can you submit a Pull Request to https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-carbon with your game cube logo with white leters?

                      @Rookervik They are only autogenerated. I have moved them a bit. Does it look better now?

                      @meleu Think that is not possible as my image is just a modified png. The theme requires a svg file, but the png is also attached to my repo.

                          Once you've defined the "standard template" for the system splashscreens I'll create the same for the additional systems/logos in the Custom SVG Logo Pack.

                            @daeks My intention with my script is to let the users create the launching files only for the systems they have installed on their own raspi with no need of any further image manipulation with GIMP, Photoshop or something similar.

                            The script are ready, but unfortunately the results aren't cool for every system.

                            Look at the fba one:

                            0_1483720575746_launching.png

                            EDIT: other not fine result was for sega 32x:

                              @meleu yeah you need to resize them. svg will be resized during conversation in my script:

                              "%ICONVERT%" -background none -resize "x235>" -resize "600x>" "%%G" "%%~dpG%%~nG.png"

                              check my fba

                                @daeks great! thanks!
                                There must be some way to detect the dimensions of a file and then resize it to a proper size if it's too big. I'll study more about ImageMagick later. Or if you already know these kind of tricks, please share with us! ;-)

                                  @meleu resize "x235 > " -resize "600x > " - the ">" does the trick. It resizes only if the dimension width x heigth is bigger than. So if the image heigth is > 235px or the width > 600px resize it to 235px heigth or/and 600px width. Also checkout my latest changes regarding the positioning of the image / text.

                                        @daeks I also submitted a PR with this image to the carbon theme repository: https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-carbon/pull/23

                                        I think my script is pretty usable now (after the @daeks tips):

                                          @meleu looks nice, dont know if you have missed it, but the params on L58, L61, L65 differs regarding the positioning of the image/text. :)

                                            You mean vertically, right? I noticed it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge here!
