      @Rookervik my logos that i personally use are now black and transparent. Still need to do the rest. And i am making all new console pics by hand. To make the console pics universal to everyone i made them black and transparent. I have been working hard on this. I think and hope my console pics will be used for several other peoples themes that need a retro look.

        I would be interested in this. I don't have the wherewithal to make my own icons, images and logos (no time, motivation, etc), so I've just been using the ones from Pixel and Carbon. I did alter the Carbon logo SVGs by making them monochrome (#0c0c0c and #d8d8d8), but just doing that was a lot of work, I can't imagine creating them from scratch.

        It's great that RetroPie supports so many systems, but it can make it hell on theme makers.

        It has got me thinking though, maybe we could have a repo of the different images people have created for the systems (logos, icons, controllers, system images), something like theme templates maybe with a couple of different basic styles... I'm rambling.

        Anyway, I'm thinking a basic theme template might not be a bad idea, as a place for people to start, containing all the folders and skeleton XML files. I might just make it for personal use anyway.

          @mattrixk here are a few pics of the consoles i am making. i am going as detailed as possible in as little size as possible. all of my computer keyboards keys are exact to the real system. all these retro themes are stuck with the pics that may be too modern looking so i am hoping to fix that problem. nm the mess up on the 5200 pic. it is emulationstations stretching messing it up. i need to resize the images to fix it.

            @edmaul69 I like them. They're really simple and clean. Now you just need to make a few hundred more (okay, I exaggerate a little).

              Friend I suggest to make a Workbench like video splash 😀

                Just wanted to come in and say that I've been permanently rocking the Amiga Workbench theme for about 4 months, now. I love everything about it: Lots of relevant info on the screen, neatly organized, great font, etc. What I like the most about it is the left margin: the fact the game titles don't touch the side of the screen is a true blessing when playing on a CRT. Could not recommend this theme enough.

                @edmaul69 Any plan to release your Apple ii theme? Looks very good!

                    @felleg yes. But only a black and white version. I just got my replacement apple iie to replace the one ups shattered that had my heavily modified pi in it. I spent all day swapping out parts and fixing stuff. My address is 7909 and fedex delivered it to 7907 which is 2 miles away. Good thing my roommate knew to look there as it apparently has happened before. I have to grayscale some of the logos and systems and change the files from having the names rookervik used for this workbench theme. I am going to try to have it done by the end of this coming week.

                      Hi I'm here to say that ever since Emulation Station update to 2.3.1 the font in the upper right corner is a bit off. It wasn't fixed even in 2.3.2.
