      That looks cool (the new SE theme). Almost makes me want to go back and rescrape for a 3rd time to get marquee/wheel-art too. :) Keep up the good work man! I just need to learn how to do this on my own now so I can make my custom theme for my new PSX project.

        By the way, is there a way to have also a clock to see time? Sometimes i want to see the time and i have to turn on my phone. It will be a great addition.

        Afraid not. There are two things needed to make that happen:

        1. (major) the Rpi needs to know the time, either by querying the internet or by additional hardware such as a battery powered RTC module.
        2. (minor) we need to expose the time as a themable element in ES.

        Hi, doesn't the pi automatically get the time if its networked? I've noticed that the RPI3 at least if networked always displays the correct time if you exit EmulationStation to the console. I realise this doesn't help non-networked devices but I wonder if it's more common for the pi to be networked now as the Pi3 and PizeroW have built in wifi. It certainly would be nice to be able display the time within a theme.

          Will you be doing system loading screens any time soon? They would just finish this theme off perfectly.

                @hansolo77 I mirrored him on purpose, missed fixing the hat, we will see if I fix it! Minor details, but good eye, I have never noticed.

                  Yeah I noticed when I was looking through the rips to see if there was a good one to use for my PSX theme. :)

                      Thanks to @ruckage for helping to modify my font once again, i have updated all versions of the ComicBook theme to correct the gamelist alignment, the text is once again centered in the selector bar. Thanks @ruckage !

                            Is there a way to remove the SEGA scream when playing a Sega console? The novelty wears off quickly! :P

                              @felleg yes, there are instructions in the theme folder. There are 2 ways, go into the theme.xml for sega and delete the line items for sound, or go into the art folder and delete the sega.wav file. If you delete the sega.wav file you may get an error message flash when loading a rom, you can ignore it, it just will say that the .wav file is missing.

                                @TMNTturtlguy In another thread we were talking about changing that "rip image" for megadrive detailed view. I would like to suggest these Sonic images instead of the current Battletoads one:

                                sonic1

                                sonic2

                                sonic3

                                  @meleu sure, do you have a favorite? Do you think I should change it in the main code or just throw this in the art folder so users can adjust as they want to? I don't use mega drive, I use sega genesis so it doesn't affect me.

                                    @meleu Not that it really matters but I believe these are the sonic designs used in the GBA games. To be authentic to Megadrive the Sonic designs from that era should be used instead.
                                    (Sonic is definately more fitting though as he is the sega mascot)

                                      These are Megadrive era sonic designs for comparison.

                                        @ruckage correct, here is the rip image used for sega genesis.0_1498779573728_sonic.png

                                          What really matters is that the character needs to be leaning forward or coming out of the screen. Like this image for Mega Man:

                                          I think the first one gives a good impression that he is ripping the page and coming out of the screen:
                                          sonic1
