      @hex I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can only download a few themes. My list of themes ends at 36, and is missing some of the great new ones like retrorama. Do I need to update emulationstation?

            @lipebello Great theme, great work!
            It's my standard theme. I've added this also to ES themes ready for favorite, all games, recently played and custom-collections

            There is one thing what might be need to be improved. In Main Menu the navigation bar (Launch Screensaver, Menu, X Random, A Select) is yellow, in game selection list it's black. If you press select or start to get menu access the big yellow buttons come back. That looks a bit disappointing - but here you have created a nice theme. What am I missing is a view to next / last emu system but that's how the theme works.

              Ive installed this theme on my cabinet, it looks amazing, the only thing I dont like is that you feel a little "blind" because you cannot see the next system in the line.
              perhaps a small carosel at the bottom to show which direction to move to get to the system you want would be good.

              @hex the artwork is mint! do you have any artwork that is in this style for the side of a cabinet?

                  @cyperghost , @spruce_m00se - at first, i was going to add the caroulsel where the logos are, but then i added the overlays to make it look old and dirty and i didn't want to heva a clean logo on top of it, so i put the logos on the images. i Tried some variations but didn't like the results, they're all too fake.

                  @cyperghost - i think that the menu itens can't be themed (at least on the older versions), they used to be black with ES default font, but i think that was changed on the last update.

                    @lipebello anyway.... It's a real nice theme.
                    Biggest respect to you - the shabby look is awesome

                    Welcome back :D

                        I played around with this a bit over the last hour, grabbing some selected images for BOTH Retrorama and Comic Book. I of course grabbed images that matched my installed systems (ie. I may have a C64 image for each theme, etc). Two questions:

                        (1) I end up with a mix of launch images across my systems. For example, I might get a Retrorama launch image for one system, and a Comic Book image for another system... and yes this is regardless of which of the two themes I have set in retropie. Is the correct way to work with this to only download and have "active" launch images to match one theme at a time?

                        (2) Related to this, I can't seem to delete images and tidy this up. I see options to "delete local repository files" as well as "uninstall art", but in my first couple of attempts neither avenue seems to remove the installed images (even after a reboot). Am I missing something here in terms of the process to delete / tidy up / manage images?

                        Running retropie 4.2 with just-updated retropie setup script 4.2.12. Latest theme updates today as well. Hardware is a Pi3 B with a good power supply. Keyboard and PS4 controller attached via USB.

                          @ohmycommodore can you please post this same report on the rpie-art topic? (link on my signature)

                          I'll try to take a look at it when I have a chance. Thanks. :-)

                              is there a plan to do a Odyssey2 / Videopac and ResidualVM ?

                              those are the only systems that i have that are not in your great theme.
                              if it is not hard to add them that would be amazing, if not i under stand it takes alot of work.

                              your theme is still beautiful

                                @exarkuniv Yes, right now i'm remodelling the layout and fixing some things, but i'll be increasing it with more systems. i'm mostly doing what people asking, i'm not following any schedule or anything.

                                    Hello, 1.75 released. Since i deleted some files, it's better to uninstall retrorama first then install it again

                                        @lipebello Hey. Some nice adjustments made on this update. Larger video/game art is always a good thing ;)
                                        Just waiting on a PC Engine SuperGrafx theme in a forthcoming update (hint, hint).
                                        We're a little spoiled for choice with themes now, but I think this one is becoming my favourite. Great work.

                                            @lipebello this is really a one of a kind theme, I've been following it since you started posting updates on your YouTube channel!
                                            Since you are open to requests, can I suggest adding Intellivision to your list?
