Background images, coming back!!!

[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...

[caver01]

@andershp @tronkyfran Ditto that! I love the theme and I too use a setup with a 4:3 display. Some of the meta data categories are cut off, like DEVELOPER whick is missing the R. Smaller metadata might accommodate a bigger thumbnail.

[herb_fargus]

@caver01 you can blame me as I maintain the theme. Tronkyfran just makes the pretty art.

Anyways it's just the simple theme so far as far as the detailed gamelist is concerned so I'm definitely open to other suggestions to improve it as I personally don't like metadata at all, but making it smaller would be a start.

I'm open to pull requests if someone wants to improve the theme
