Background images, coming back!!!

[herb_fargus]

@tronkyfran very nice! Glad to see you're still alive :) I'll try and update the theme on github when I get a chance

[Muddyhardcore]

Just tried the Trunykfran theme for the first time and while the background images are superbly done, I run into an issue where sometimes systems have just white instead of the beautiful background image. What's the cause of that?

[herb_fargus]

@Muddyhardcore the cause is there is no system done for then yet. Do you have examples of which ones are white?

[Muddyhardcore]

It's never the same system. As I'm scrolling through the systems some will just turn white. I restart emulationstation and they come back. I keep scrolling and 2 or 3 in a row will turn white. Odd issue.

[herb_fargus]

@Muddyhardcore update emulationstation from source and try again.

[Muddyhardcore]

@herb_fargus I'll try it when I get home

Jesus, these are 3d renders? I was convinced they were photos! Great, great work!

[Muddyhardcore]

@herb_fargus
You do mean just update the retropie setup script correct?

[herb_fargus]

@Muddyhardcore no i mean update emulationstation from source.

[Muddyhardcore]

@herb_fargus
Ok I figured it out. It was in core packages in the retropie setup script. Been stuck on 89% for about 3 hours now.

[herb_fargus]

@Muddyhardcore you need to exit emulationstation before you build from source

[Muddyhardcore]

@herb_fargus
I didn't do that. I went into the setup script from emulation station. What do I do now?

[Muddyhardcore]

@herb_fargus
Am I screwed?

[Muddyhardcore]

@herb_fargus
Ok I was able to update Emulation Station and the problem with the backgrounds turning white is still there. It's random. No specific system.

@Muddyhardcore increase your GPU memory that worked for me.

[Muddyhardcore]

@emilio1555
How do you do that?

[emilio1555]

@Muddyhardcore Go into raspi-config/advanced options/memory split.
Put 762, that should work.

[Muddyhardcore]

@emilio1555
Do I need to exit emulationstation and get there from the command line or can I just select raspi-config from the retropie menu?

[emilio1555]

@Muddyhardcore You can select it from the retropie menu.

Hey @tronkyfran - I really, really love your theme, it just looks awesome on my Bartop Build with the great system pictures, BUT ALAS! On my 4:3 monitor the box-art is soo tiny, it's really sad.

Is there any chance of you making a possible update to the theme or a variant with a larger window for box-art? See below...
