      @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.

      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!

                                        Even if video snap support isn't added, I can still see this becoming my daily-driver!!

                                        Great work!!

                                          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.

                                            Hey @ruckage what type of retropie are you using? Is it on the raspberry pi?

                                            N64 emulation is the next step :)
