      Dump #8 - Simple? Yes. Pixel? Nope.

        @Rookervik Looks like one of the Flat theme rejects

          @lilbud Yeah. There are a lot of themes similar to flat. I like having the bar go across the top, but it's a waste of space. The right side fills up area that the screenshot could fill. I can cut it up like this, but it looks weird:

            Maybe, instead of just cutting the top bar in half you could taper it down to a forth of the height starting at the midpoint and follow that height towards the right hand side? Also following that at the very right hand side taper back up to the original height?

            Opens space without looking as odd.

              @Rookervik I liked the system specific one

                @herb_fargus If you're talking about that one where I have to create full themes for 70+ systems, you can put that out of your mind. Haha.

                  the system-specific one is the dream, but yeah :)

                  i like it when there's at least a colour variation in each system, like pixel currently does. also as someone who doesn't like metadata i'd prefer if there was just space for the gamelist and screenshot and no other boxes, but that's probably just me :)

                    @Rookervik hey I used workbench for a while when I was playing around with the themes... I use one of the pixel themes now... are there any I should try?

                    N64 emulation is the next step :)

                            @dankcushions Totally not alone. Meta data can really, REALLY, slow the Raspberry Pi's boot time. Your gamelist goes from 5 lines per game to over 11. That really increases what ES has to load.

                            So yeah, screw meta data. Screenshot is fine. :D

                                  @CodeDrawer Hahaha. The book isn't set up to match the original pixel theme. So the logo, gamelist and screenshot won't line up inside the book. I was thinking about getting a nice layout and just releasing skins for Pixel. Then people could pick whichever background they wanted.

                                          Is Pixel 2 only for 16:9 formats?
                                          I prefer #5 :)
