      @mattrixk It's all a transparent 480x272 png. So the stripes will change and the background lighting will change between systems.

          @backstander This might be good enough. Not sure about the system logo. It's hard to get some decent detail at that small size.

          Logo might be too dark for dark backgrounds...

            Thanks @Rookervik ! The system looks awesome!

            This might be good enough. Not sure about the system logo. It's hard to get some decent detail at that small size.

            I think the logo looks good as well. I'll probably end up using your Pixel 2 theme when it's ready for consumption!

              @backstander Yeah I can't wait to have a Pixel alternative. But for PC-FX I'm thinking about putting the logo on a white background like I have been forced to on several previous logos... because of how dark the default colors of the logo are.

                @Rookervik How can i download this theme without RetroPie? I'm using emulationstation with retroarch on windows and the version of this theme on github seems outdated.

                  Ah ha! A fellow non-pi theme user! I will have to zip it up and put a link online. It's not available outside of retropie right now. Let me finish this PC-FX stuff and I will upload it.

                  As far as PC-FX... I think putting a white box around it makes it look a lot better.

                      Ok, finished updating Pixel with PC-FX. Both regular and Metadata should be uploaded.

                      For downloading the theme, you can go to this link: https://github.com/ehettervik/es-theme-pixel/ and look for the green button that lets you clone or download. Download it.

                          @Rookervik Thanks mate, now my ES looks pretty :D

                          By the way are you planning on adding a metadata version of your theme, i mean, at least the description of the game? Sometimes i find it nice to see what the game is all about and some information about some hacks.

                          Edit: Don't forget to put yout github link at the top, you never know when someone who uses ES+RetroArch is lurking around for a updated version of this sweet theme of yours :D

                            @Squilenator There's already a meta data version. https://github.com/ehettervik/es-theme-pixel-metadata

                              @Rookervik had you heard the new carbon theme's minimalist and ear candy sounds? why do you not make a version of Pixel with them and update minilumi with the new sounds too? I personaly like them and you do not break your promise of not adding sounds to the pixel theme

                                @sergioad I made Carbon, too. Had dozens of complaints about the sound effect. So I just didn't bother with a sound effect for Pixel. The code is in the xml for anyone to enable. Just do it. :D

                                      Is video preview enabled in the most recent version of Pixel-metadata? Also, where do you put the video files?

                                      Thanks!

                                          I don't think it is.

                                          Also, where do you put the video files?

                                            @backstander I don't have windows so I can't run the code. I'll have to add by hand if I can figure out the code to add.

                                            It's a shame it's not as simple as changing "game_title-image.jpg" to "game_title-video.mp4".
