      @ruckage Hi, On ubuntu I installed everything using the Basic Install command on retropie setup.

      On windows everything works fine when using the official emulationstation release (except for carousel, because i think it doesnt suport it) but with this updated version (https://github.com/jrassa/EmulationStation/releases/tag/2.1.6-152-win) that supports carousel, I got the same issue as in ubuntu.

        Thanks for the info. That's not an official version as far as I know, it's a fork by @jdrassa that adds support for z-index sorting, this would probably explain the problem as I bet that the missing text is hidden behind some of the other graphics (zindex allows ordering of text/graphics from front to back).

        Try the main branch and see if that fixes it: https://github.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation

          I've just noticed the Z-index support has also been added to the main retropie branch (which is good) but it does make me think that this could possibly be a problem if the z order of metadata text is now different (reading the documentation is says the default values should be the same as they always were but maybe not...). Has anyone else installed the very latest version of ES and if so can you tell me if the metadata is visible?

          EDIT: I'm currently installing ES to my raspberry pi from source so that I can check myself, not sure how long it takes to compile though. If there is a problem I'm sure I can fix the theme but it's always a bit of a concern as I don't want to cause problems in the older versions of ES (hopefully the <feature> tag will prevent this.)

            I've just finished installing the very latest version of ES from source and have confirmed the issue. I will look into getting fix made as soon as possible. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

                  Love the theme, added the nes classic song to the background. Really brings it together. I'm having a bit of trouble.

                  Let me first off say I am new to both retropie and emulationstation so I might be missing something easy. Anyways when in the games list I can not see the published, developed by, genre, rating, played or number of players info. The meta and images work however. I used the sleph (name?) scrapper and checked the gameslist xml to make sure all the relevant data is there. (which it is)

                  The only other thing I can think of that would cause the issue is I'm using a 720p tv currently as its the closet set to my computer. There are other graphical glitches such as alignment so this may also cause the text not to appear?

                    @ruckage I just submitted a fix. The default z-index values were not being set for the metadata fields for detail view.

                          @ruckage love the theme, especially the new tile style. Will there be a Kodi tile or just ports? Thanks for the great work.

                          EDIT
                          I broke the first rule and didn't read. I see that Kodi is on the to-do list. My apologies.

                            @ruckage I'm one for simple ordinarily, so like clear and concise/space so when I saw this, although I thought it looked really cool, I passed on it.... Until this evening. I've installed and I love it. I think it looks so much better in the flesh than it does on the forum: the videos and screengrabs don't do it justice.

                            Admittedly, I have just skim read through the 585 posts, but currently can't see any mention of development for the Amiga? I know this is a 'spare' time hobby, but wondered if there's any plan to introduce it in the future?

                            I'm always amazed and what people do for Retropie, wish I had the time to contribute something like this, it's awesome...

                              Amiga is on the to do list so will be added at some point in the future.

                                As others have mentioned I would totally use this but it's missing the 1 system I need, the Sega 32X!

                                I'm building a NES mini replica system with all the retro consoles and everything is there minus the 32X.

                                Outstanding work by the way, I thought I would never stray from Tronky Fran but I love the style of yours and it's much more fitting!!

                                  There is a to do list in the first post of this thread and 32x is one of the systems on that list, it will be done but I can't say when as themes take a great deal of time to make and its all done in my spare time.

                                    @ruckage Oh man I can't wait! Now you got me on the edge of my seat for the 32x so I can use the theme and finalize my build!

                                    I registered here to comment on your theme and I will be using it hopefully sooner than later!

                                    Thank you again!

                                        Since we were discussing systems I was curious if there are any plans for the North American model of the Super Nintendo?

                                        I only recently am getting into my retropie so I'm not sure if that console is even possible to change the theme like the genesis or TG16?

                                        Or since it's the same name it's as easy as a image change?

                                          @prophecy the NA model of the Super Nintendo IS the Super Nintendo. In Japan it was called the Super Famicom. If you see "Super Nintendo" that's the NA version.

                                            @cafarellidigital I'm guessing @prophecy means the SNES icon that is used on the main menu.
