      @TMNTturtlguy I am in there but it is denying me changes to the file. What am I missing to gain administrator access to change the file?

      Thanks!

          @ChristianG What you can do is copy the entire ComicBook folder from that location onto your desktop. then on the pi using WinSCP browse to /home/pi/ look to see if you can see a folder .emulationstation If you can see it that is great. If not, follow these instructions link text

          now you should go into that folder /home/pi/.emulationstation/ create a new folder themes

          upload the ComicBook folder that you copied to your desktop. This is now the location that your pi will look to for custom themes. Go back to /ect/emulationstation/themes/ and delete the ComicBook folder. If it does not allow you to do so, you can use command line or putty, and this command

           cd /ect/emulationstation/themes/
 sudo rm -r ComicBook

          Now in /home/pi/.emulationstation/themes/ follow the directions posted above. This should allow you to make the changes and when you restart the Pi should look to this location for the theme. You may need to press start and go to the UI menu and reselect ComicBook as your theme.

            @TMNTturtlguy Thanks! What was the original value of the help screen on the bottom?

              @TMNTturtlguy Looks like .018 font size fits portrait mode 4:3 for the gray menu buttons on the bottom. What I don't understand is why the gray menu under Retropie category stays the same and is still large. The gray help menu under everything else (FBA,MAME,ARCADE etc) has resized but not under Retropie.

              Is this a different area to adjust? I adjust the value on line 17 mentioned above.

                @TMNTturtlguy Thanks for the info. I have changed the values for the game list and for the description to make them smaller and fit.

                What coding should I look for to bump over to the right and minimize the Released/Genre/Developer fields. The are large and overlapping right now.

                Thanks!!

                      @ChristianG yup, that is the best way to do it. Another option is to just set all the locations to 1 1 and they will be hidden off screen. That might be best in your case as the space is pretty small.

                        @TMNTturtlguy No I got them to look good. Here is a screen shot. Last thing I have to do is move over the explosion rating system you have to the left a bit. Still trying to figure that one out.

                          @ChristianG looks great! Look for the md_rating that has stars.svg as part of the code, and reduce the size first. Then shift them.

                              @ChristianG I just checked the .xml file. Line 192 is the size and line 191 is the position.

                                @TMNTturtlguy Looks perfect! Thanks for such a great theme! Can your video be run as a screen saver?

                                  @ChristianG Good work! That looks really nice! How does the system selection screen look? I am guessing that view is all messed up?

                                  Right now the screensaver only uses videos that are on the gamelist as md_video. What you could do is go to the start menu and set the theme to detail view. Then go into your gamelist and add a video tag to just one game. path the video to my intro video. The screensaver should just run that in a loop as the screensaver. The only issue is that the intro video is about 50 seconds long and the screensaver resets every 30 seconds, so you will never see the entire video.

                                    @TMNTturtlguy The system selection screens look great. I will try to do what you mentioned. I am onto video preview next and trying to figure out how to do that. Your theme supports this I think I read correct?

                                    Thanks.

                                      @ChristianG WOW! That is awesome man, i figured the black boarders wouldn't translate, but they did and it actually doesn't look to bad. I am a little jealous. I tried to set up a vertical monitor, but I kept running into performance issues, how does everything run so far? Also, it would be cool if you were to post a few of these images to my comic book theme thread as well, i think some people who follow that thread might enjoy these images. Your build has really come a long way in the last few days. Great work and keep it coming!

                                        @TMNTturtlguy Really everything runs fast. All screens run smoothly and no issues or glitches. Your theme fills out the screen. The black on the sides in the photo is the cabinet but my 4:3 portrait mode monitor has no black edges.

                                        Its really pretty awesome. I will send you more screen prints. Best theme out there really by far...

                                          @TMNTturtlguy So I made the mistake of using Steven Selph's scraper after setting up all of the text on your theme for vertical. Why did it reposition all the text and change everything do you think?

                                          I thought its just scraping data. Why did it adjust all of your settings do you think? I wish I wrote them down. So now I will tinker some more to get them right again.

                                            @TMNTturtlguy Is there an easy way to redo game list names? The scraper added all these words again like (world version) blah blah which I hate.

                                            Can this be done from ur computer while logged into your arcade?

                                            Thanks...
