        Hokay, Pixel -Metadata- has also been updated in the same way regular Pixel was. Just update from the theme updater.

          @Rookervik Great! One comment - the SuperGrafx logo. Personal preference - it looks MUCH better without the black background. Not sure if that was intended to be transparent, but maybe with the black border your doing now it would look better. The black 'square' just looks out of place.

            @Necro Feel free to use the old logos! I do not mind at all :D Especially since the Super Grafx only had 4 games ever made for it. Hahaha. /me runs off to the back of the house

              @Necro But in all honesty, the SuperGrafx logo didn't change much from the original from Pixel. And the colors are sampled from an actual Super Grafx console.

              alt text

              All logos were enhanced to be visible on a light or dark background. Super Grafx only got some highlights to bring it in line with the rest of the logos.

              And the Super Grafx logo has been like that for months and months. Too late for complaints now! :P

                @Rookervik I just noticed it now because...well...it's SuperGrafx :) All I did was remove the black from the image and have just the text. Understand the contrast issue - just think it's harring to have the black borders and all - looks out of place with all of the other transparent logos in the them. You're theme - I can always edit mine later :)! And thanks again for the kick-ass theme!

                    I really love this theme! It's imply awesome!
                    Do you plan on creating "separations" for rom sets, like Capcom, SHMUPs, etc?
                    I'd like to have those!
                    Thx!

                      @mvmiranda Uhh, I'm not even sure you can easily separate romsets inside a system. You can do it with some xml magic on the gamelists utilizing the <folder> tag, but that seems like a lot of work. So I hadn't planned on making GENRE tag graphics.

                      I do need to see if I can skin the different MAME emulators tho. I recently tried another mame and was like "what the hell, which mame is which?" haha.

                        @Rookervik Well, if you dig right :) you can find already split romsets insite systems. I already have a folder with every CPS1, 2 and 3 ROMs for MAME, NeoGeo only ROMs, SHMUPS only ROMs, and so forth.
                        They are not tag separated, but "physically" (if you know what I mean).

                        BTW, I spent some time today doing a "for me only" SNES Hack logo based on your original SNES one. It came out good-ish, IMO, but I couldn't make it to work (cloned SNES folder inside pixel theme, added a system block tag inside es_systems.cfg (clone from snes), changed the logo only, but it only works for the first ROM I run then it crashes for every other attempt.
                        Wanna take a look at the logo?
                        PS: I don't plan on sending it to anyone else.

                          Hi guys, can anyone help me? I'm very much a newbie so will need to be handheld on this. How can I change the picture of the Snes to the EU variant? I've scoured online but I'm just not quite there with figuring this stuff out. Would really appreciate some help (and perhaps a step by step!). I'm using the pixel-metadata theme.

                            I love your work! Using the launch images as well! Is there also a Megadrive 32x/Mega CD logo?

                              @pauwus: You'll need to FTP/SSH into your Pi and find the themes folder (someone else will have to help you with this, sorry).

                              Once you're in the Pixel folder, go into the 'snes' folder, rename console.png to consoleUS.png, then rename consoleEU.png to console.png.

                              Now, in RetroPie switch to a different theme, then switch back to Pixel and it should show the new image.

                                @J.Beau I do not have megacd or mega32x logos. Can you give me examples of them so I might add them to the theme?

                                        @Nismo Thanks, I'll get some pixel logos created for these.

                                        -Edit: Might be easiest to just remove the "genesis" from the 32x logo. LOL.

                                          On the topic of European VS American system names... how would you like these packaged? I suppose there are several ways to do it...

                                          • Release a Euro and an American version of the theme. Wouldn't require any effort on your part. Really annoying for me to keep track of.

                                          • Continue to pack the European logos named logo2.png in the theme folders. You would continue to need to break into the theme and rename the files if you want the European logos.

                                          • Add folders in the theme for the European versions of systems. And you can change your es_systems.cfg to point to the correct theme you want to use for your games. So instead of segacd going to the theme 'segacd' it would go to 'mega-cd'

                                          I don't care which of the last 2 options... I do care having a second repository created and having to maintain that one as well. I'd rather not do that.

                                          What are your thoughts?

                                            New logos have been added to the segacd and sega32x folders. Update the theme and get to replacing logos. I won't bother updating the main post of the thread right now.
