      Yes, the AGS art is there already. Sorry about that.

          Could you also update in the main RetroPie repository?

              I do not have access to the main repository. Nor would I know how to update it. Herb updates it when he notices a change :)

                          Hi! I'm building my own arcade at home and I loved this theme, is there any way to get a High Resolution version of the RetroPie logo and "Retropie" text as the splash screen?

                          I'm working on the Marquee for the arcade and I would like to use them there, but I need a high resolution version (55cmx18cm 200-300 dpi)

                          Thanks!

                            @maurisouto it's a pixel based splash. You can upscale it as much as you like or make it whatever you want by pulling from the splashscreen repo or other themes readily available on github

                              If you're good with vector art, you can use the SVG logos inside the Carbon theme. You can scale them to any size you want. Since they're vector, you could print it the size of the planet and still not see jagged pixels.

                                @Rookervik Hey Rookervik, how do you stop box art from stretching in the game list. Like the Japanese box art of Final Fantasy VI compressing to the size of all of the others. But not messing up the others?

                                  All box art should scale to a maximum width and height, never further. It should also keep it's aspect. Be sure to check the original image and check to be sure the aspect ratio of that image is correct.

                                  If you're wanting a certain box art to be bigger or smaller than the others, there is no way to change that at all. The only way I can imagine you could do it would change the theme to display images at 100% size, and then manually edit all of your box arts to display at the size you want. Very tedious.

                                    @Rookervik Thanks! I will try it! I'm not a vector expert but I have worked with them before... this shouldn't be that hard!

                                    Thanks all for your help, I will post the results later so you I can get some feedback :)

                                      found a strange problem - i noticed the various retropie icons (wifi, etc) are nice and pixelly in the pixel repo: https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-pixel/tree/master/retropie/icons

                                      eg: alt text

                                      i updated my retropie-setup script, and updated pixel via the theme manager, but they're still the 'cleaner' 3d style (from carbon?). it seems that they've correctly updated because if i look in the theme folder it has all the new images (i've checked them via ftp to check):

                                      pi@retropie:/etc/emulationstation/themes/pixel/retropie/icons $ ls -l

                                      so i guess somehow whatever is pointing es to the various images has not been updated correctly by the script? does anyone know the specific file that points ES to the elements of the current theme?

                                        @dankcushions they pull from the main RetroPie menu supplied by the script. That way it's universal. If you want ones specific to the pixel theme you have to point to those manually

                                          @herb_fargus oh! hmm, so /RetroPie/retropiemenu/icons
                                          that works!

                                          i wonder if the theme manager should copy icons over (if they exist)? or perhaps the above folder gets overwritten by every retropie-setup update so not much point?

                                            @dankcushions yeah the pixel theme was really the only one with custom icons (and I guess kinda nbba) but the rest will just utilise the default ones so we figured we'd just code for the majority and then the more custom builds can be done manually.

                                            Might be possible to add additional logic specific to pixel perhaps
