        I have saw that if you enter a system and press select to go straight to a letter, after leaving and continue navigating between systems, the theme collapses, no longer displaying the logos of the systems, nor the videos.

          @Arcanjohack check if it happens with other themes too. Could possibly be a bug with es if it happens with others.

          If you read the documentation it will answer 99% of your questions: https://retropie.org.uk/docs/

                I just tested this on my RPi3 with all Futura theme versions (video and non-video) and I am not able to recreate that error.
                I can see on your last picture this error message?

                glGetError 0x505

                I am no coder and I have no idea what that error exactly means. Video memory issue?
                How many systems do you run?
                How many roms do you use?
                Not sure if this has anything to do with it but what is your vram setting in ES?

                @jfick13

                Thank you. :)

                      I set to 300mb

                  This theme is the most beautiful I have ever seen, I hope to find the cause.

                    I google searched that error message and looks like to be a gpu memory issue.
                    The Futura theme using 1920x1080 images is heavy on the resources.

                      You need to increase the VRAM, the option is available in one of the menus. I had the same issues when using the default value, I increased it to around 800-1000 and haven't had any issues since. You can probably use a lower value, just have to mess around with it to see what works.

                        Finally I solved my problem. I replaced ES.
                        This compilation is softest.

                        The videos runs very well with all tested themes

                        The Dev include OMXplayer, and you can change in options menu.

                        I appreciate for all help received

                          Great theme!

                          I've been working on building my image with particular interest in many old and obscure systems. Through trial and very little error, I've managed to create a couple of The menu pages that don't exist, and I'll be adding more to my setup as I continue building. So far I have added a page for ZX Spectrum and Infocom (z-machine). I would be happy to share them (and any others I make) if you are interested.

                          For some reason I can't get my phone to post pictures, but I'll drop them as soon as I'm back by a computer...

                              It's weird but I can't get anything to display in the forum. Here are links to pics:

                                You drag n drop the pictures into your reply while you're typing it and wait for it to upload. Depending on the size of the files and your internet speed, it might take some time so be patient ;-)
                                Also sometimes you have to put an extra carriage return after where your cursor is for it to work.

                                  @backstander Yeah, I tried all the methods. I keep getting a 'Something went wrong while parsing server response" error.

                                  I thought maybe it was Safari, but I tried in Firefox too. No dice.

                                        I'll be happy to add those 2 to the theme.
                                        Just send me the files or give me a link for download and I see that those get added.

                                          @FlyingTomahawk Sweet. I'm cutting some of the copy on the Z-machine version, and I'll post in a few.

                                          Also, I plan to make panels for Intellivision, AmstradCPC, and Apple II, and maybe macintosh. Basically any system that I'm experimenting with that I encounter without a panel, I'm going to make for myself, so I might as well share them. Expect those updates in the coming weeks.
