      @tmntturtlguy @meleu Thanks. Is there a way to fix this so other users don't lose the extra disk space on install of this theme?

        @hurricanefan it's a fair request. It can be done in esthemes scriptmodule. I'll try to submit a Pull Request when I have a chance.

          @meleu can you also add this theme : https://github.com/rxbrad/es-theme-gbz35

          There is also a dark variant on different branch

            Yep

            There is also a dark variant on different branch

            Every theme in esthemes scriptmodule must be the master branch on its own repo. Then, the dark theme can't be installed via RetroPie-Setup.

              @meleu I thought so. The syntax is "author repo" isnt it.

                Just wanted to say thanks so much for this theme. Absolutely amazing work, and even nicer with the boot up video. Awesome!

                Is there anywhere I can download those nice launch images from earlier in the thread, just to add an extra layer of finish to my Pi? They look fantastic.

                  @ranma Thanks! The launch images are not completed yet, I have been swamped with work and kids and just haven't had time to commit them. I hope to work on them in the next week and have them all posted with download links. Thanks

                    Oh, please don't think I'm applying pressure! I know you guys do this for the love!

                    On that note, is there somewhere I can donate a pint of your favourite beverage to you?

                      @tmntturtlguy well, being swamped with kids is a sure recipe to get in trouble at home. :)

                      Take your time. Hope you're doing great and have a great week!

                        @ranma No pressure at all, i need to set deadlines in my life or nothing will get done. It is my goal to get working on them, but we will see how life goes this week!

                        As for donations, thanks for asking....I guess i always have just done this for fun and never expect anything in return. There are a ton of people in the community that do so much more work than I do, and it is my pleasure to share my work in return.

                        Since it is so hot out today and you were kind enough to ask, I have created a link to my paypal in my profile. I don't want to create a link in my signature or advertise this as I am not looking for donations or payments, I get enjoyment out of creating and sharing and all the kind words. Feel free to visit my profile, but I do not expect, request, or ask in anyway for anything. Thank you for your extreme kindness!

                          @pjft How have you been good sir? How are your kids and family? Hope all is well.

                          We just had a 3rd birthday party for my 3 year old yesterday and all our extended family just left! It was a whirlwind of excitement. Add that to the travel and the big projects we have underway for work and as you say is can be a sure recipe for trouble! The good news is that I keep my priorities in check, and unfortunately that means my arcade/retropie projects need to take a back seat, I am hoping that fall will bring a slower period at work, but fall is still a few months away!

                          I hope you are having a great weekend as well. Your continued work on ES is second to none, i am not sure how you do it! Have a great Sunday evening.

                            Well, my Retropie is now popping out of the screen thanks to you. This is the nicest and most complete theme I've used. It's got to be worth a cold one!

                            Thanks again. :)

                                Please, consider putting them on a github repo and we'll be able to install them via rpie-art. ;-)

                                    Is this something that is required or can it be deleted from the installation?

                                    Can be deleted.

                                    Hey guys, I think I rushed out in this answer... :(

                                    The .git dir stores info about git commits. With repo with many images (as ES theme repos are) that dir can have dozens of MB. I thought it could be deleted because those files do nothing with EmulationStation itself. But if you delete them you will be unable to update the theme through RetroPie-Setup (wich uses the git protocol to manage versions).

                                    @HurricaneFan if you already deleted it, please uninstall and reinstall the theme again to fix it.

                                    Sorry for the inconvenience.

                                      For anyone using the All-Games feature, I realized the system logo was missing the drop shadow while I was working on the launching screens. I have updated the logo for all systems, just update from the ES Themes menu and the new logo should be there for you.

                                        As promised, I have finally started some launching screens. I have my templates down now, but this will still take me a lot of time! I am working my way through the 16:9 screens and then will make 4:3 screens. I am creating 2 screens, Basic and Comic Rip. Thanks again to @Panther7 for the great inspiration and use of @meleu script.
