      @herb_fargus @Squilenator the theme variables feature I have been working on has a default theme concept.

        That sounds great, a really sensible way of doing things. So if I'm understanding correctly there would be default xml file that would be used for any system without a specific theme.xml and you could then add system specific theming as/if needed. It would certainly speed up theme creation - especially as many themes don't even need system specific changes.

          @jdrassa That sounds really awesome. Wish I had a Raspberry, I'm stuck with windows emulationstation that is forgotten in time and space :c

                  Alright, alright. This is cool. But how about an SNES?
                  I'm a big SNES fan, and I'm trying to see if I can find a good SNES Theme and Case.
                  Know any good ones?

                    Nothing new since last update, just having a little break as I was so busy with this theme that haven't even played on my Mini Nes yet so I've been spending my weekend trying to finish setting it up so I can finally play it. I promise to get back to work this week though :D

                    Well, this does already support SNES but I don't know of any specific SNES themes.

                    See this post that shows the SNES support: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/8391/cardboard-mini-nes-nes-mini-and-famicom-mini-themes/111

                              I haven't decided if I'm going to add video snaps yet - I probably will but If I do it will be once I've finished adding the majority of systems to my themes as it will most likely have to be a separate version which will either replace the metadata with the videosnap or divide the boxart area into smaller boxart and video snap beneath (probably the best option I think).

                                  I didn't realise that, thanks. That will make things easier then so I will definitely look into adding it.

                                    Regarding the video previews, is there a portable windows version of ES with this support so I can look into adding it?

                                      @ruckage I haven't updated my portable build yet. I've been meaning to (hoping I can get automated tests builds with Travis or something)

                                      Here is an example of adding video view:

                                      https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-carbon/pull/20

                                      @jdrassa has a much better idea of video view integration than me

                                        Thanks - it would be great if you can get an updated portable version for windows ready at some point as it can be a pain designing/testing themes otherwise.
