      @adon767 Yes, what is your box art saved as? <image> or <marquee>?

        @HurricaneFan if i look at the gamelist.xml file in the roms folders. i have this

        <image>./boxart/2005 Minigame Multicart (USA) (Unl).png</image>
        <marquee>./wheel/2005 Minigame Multicart (USA) (Unl).png</marquee>
        <video>./snap/2005 Minigame Multicart (USA) (Unl).mp4</video>
        <thumbnail/>
        <rating>0</rating>
        <releasedate>00000000T000000</releasedate>
        <developer>AtariAge</developer>
        <publisher>AtariAge</publisher>
        <genre/>
        <players>1</players>
        </game>

        my artwork is saved in the boxart folder but when using the CRT theme they are stretched out and not the correct size.

          @adon767 Ok, from what I see in the CRT theme.xml file, the md_image uses MaxSize. So it should keep the right aspect ratio of your images. That's weird that it doesn't.

            @HurricaneFan The values for the Max size should those be changed right now they are set at 0.25 and 0.33

              I'm having the same problem with this theme. The md_image is using MaxSize, but it's not keeping my box art aspect ratio.

                As far I know, that's a bug with the latest build of ES and would be fixed soon. (I'm not totally sure).

                Nothing to do with the theme.

                  @Nismo that's my understanding as well. I'll double check on an older version of ES to confirm in the next few days just in case.

                    @adon767 and @cloudlink I did some digging and it looks like this thread may cover what you are seeing:
                    https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/9261/bug-box-art-displaying-incorrect-size-the-first-time-i-enter-a-system

                    Looks like the fix has been submitted to the RetroPie repo here:
                    https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/commit/c41e0bbbeb1d54c7af5d79128da709816f990a15

                    If that matches up to what you are seeing it looks like a fix is ready to go - not sure when it will be in the latest build but could be soon.

                    Please let me know if that doesn't help.

                        @alphatoanant,

                        Outstanding. Do you mind if i showcase this theme and share it in some other groups?

                            Put the unzipped theme folder that you download into /home/pi/.emulationstation/themes.

                            Create the 'themes' folder if it isn't already there.

                              I have done exactly that but it doesnt show up?

                                    Does mini master show up? Try renaming the theme folder To just CRT

                                      @retronerd is there another folder called "crt" within the folder?

                                        Also, triple check that the them folder isn't accidentally empty.

                                          @retronerd the folder you copied it to isn't the one you're being told to.

                                          You seem to have copied it to /opt/RetroPie/configs/...

                                          And it's being suggested to copy it to

                                          /home/pi/.emulationstation/themes

                                          Different folder.

                                          If not,

                                          /etc/emulationstation/themes

                                          May also work.

                                            That was the first thing I told him. He insisted it was in the correct place as you and I stated.
