      Plus adding it to the main menu makes it the first 'system' you see after booting up.

      By default, the systems appear alphabetically. Anyone who has any systems before 'K' will still have to scroll to it. I have 39 systems in the carousel with Kodi being one, so it takes me quite a bit to get there.

      Strange.

      On Mine its the default (first one you see at start up). Didnt do anything special just this - ['Kodi as its own system'] https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/KODI

      Have all the console systems installed too.

      See my post above. When you added the system to the Es-systems.cfg you must have added it to the top. Systems appear in the same order that they are defined in this file.

        @ruckage A few things

        <size>1 .354 </size>

        It is actually x = 1 y =0.354, the formatting looks weird.

        This isn't the actual code, just what I remember of it since it didn't save.
        16:9 aspect, running on the pi.

        @Syhles said

        Also that theme looks so clean I'm looking forward to a download

        Here's a hint,
        This theme is like the flat theme, but i've SWITCHED some things up :)

          I'd make your <size> field larger than your <logoSize> field personally.

            Ah, I see - didn't notice the space (for clarity I would put 0.354). Not sure why they would appear stretched. Test the theme on the windows version of ES to rule out any problems with retropie (es_toolkit v1.1 by @mattrixk).

            If you don't mind uploading it somewhere, even temporarily, I would be happy to check it and see if I can fix the problem for you.)

              @ruckage Okay, I fixed the scaling issue, but I've run into a new one.

              Is there a way to have a selector scroll on the carousel instead of the logos scroll.

              (I guess I can't keep this secret.)

              The theme I am making is a Nintendo Switch theme for ES

              I want the carousel to move like this:

                    I've finally finished all the icons and made the carousel images - and it works :D (on windows at least - will try the rpi next).

                    Here's a video of it in action.

                              @Syhles I didn't even know that was possible! Congrats @ruckage that sure beats the "oh cool" with an eye roll I usually get!

                                  Herb should be in charge of the trophy his wife gave the stamp of approval. Lol

                                      I have a version of this theme from ETA PRIMES channel.

                                      The full carousel version is unreal and I think will be my number 1 theme to use. I cannot wait for the release. It is phenomenal!

                                            Sorry for the lack of replies.

                                            I've tested the new version of the Nes mini theme on retropie and it seems to be working well, the github version has been updated and it should now be available to download through the 'Retropie Theme installer'.

                                            The famicom mini theme hasn't been updated with the new features yet but will be done next.

                                            Changes

                                            The carousel has been themed and pixel art icon has been drawn for every system. To see see the updated carousel you will need to update to the very latest version of Retropie via the Retropie setup script https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/updating-retropie
                                            On older versions of retropie the carousel will revert to the old style.

                                            6 new systems have been added Daphne,PSP, SG-1000, Atari Lynx, Ports, and Virtual Boy.

                                            'OUR BOX ART IS IN ANOTHER CASTLE' image has been reduced in size to hopefully prevent it showing behind some artwork and has been completely removed from the config screen.
