      @tmntturtlguy @gaavoid @pjft I permanently solved the issue. It was definitely connected to changing overscan settings manually in the boot.txt file that I mentioned in my previous post.

      Fixed by: Changing the overscan options in RASPI-CONFIG while leaving the overscan option in the boot.txt file untouched.

        just finished copying across the new launch screens they are amazing. It really compliments the theme! I have 1 thing i would like to add.. I use Motion blue V5 on my raspberry pi and also TEAM ZT img as well.. They have added all the WHDLOAD amiga games which break down in 2 sections Amiga ( which u have a logo for ) and AmigaCD32 which there is no logo.. I was wondering if you could add the folder and Logo for AmigaCD32, it is becoming very common now in amiga and retropie emulation so i think it deserves its own logo... And it also ruins my amazing comic book theme layout with the normal logo and not your proper logo :) Please please :) Thanks again for your hard work and effort you put into this theme, it is my favourtite by far!

          @serotonin I will make a logo when I get the chance. Can I use the same background as amiga?

                @serotonin SE stands for special edition. It is only for users that have wheel art or marquees scraped in their game lists for all games. It removes the classic system logo that appears over the top of the video preview in the gamelist view and instead shoes the wheel art.

                    @serotonin No, its for EmulationStation. Its a slightly different Comic Book theme as TMNTturtlguy has stated. It displays Marquees/Game Logos where as the original Comic Book theme did not.

                      @serotonin Here is a graphic example, these are of the 4:3 version, but it is basically the same for the 16:9

                        @tmntturtlguy The 16:9 version of ComicBook SE looks freakin awesome with the Wheel Art. Is Steven Selph's Scraper capable of adding those images to the gamelist file, or do I have to add them manually? I have the Wheel Art images already.

                          @beastmode thanks, i don't know if the scraper can add them in. I did them all manually, unfortunately. I don't have a huge game collection so it wasn't so bad.

                              @tmntturtlguy Is this the proper text to use in the gamelist file for your theme? If so, then it seems Steven Selph's Scraper is capable of adding the information to the file.

                              <marquee>/location/filename.extension</marquee>

                                @beastmode sorry for the delayed response on this, for some reason it didn't show up in my notifications. Yes that is the proper line for the "Wheelart" in the SE version of the theme.

                                  @serotonin i have just updated the theme to include amigacd32 per your request. The system background is the same as the regular amiga, but the comic logo is updated. Hope it works for you. I took the colors from the original console logo colors.

                                    All, I have added amigacd32 system and I have changed the TMNT folder to now be tmnt. If you created a custom system using @meleu's script you will need to modify your es_systems.cfg to be lowercase. If you are using @pjft new build no modifications will be required after you update. This change was made to be inline with the new custom systems naming convention per @dmmarti thread here: themes custom collection standardized naming

                                      This is great stuff! I haven't dabbled into custom theming yet. I am still using the standard Retropie Menus. I don't know how to get video previews and all that stuff yet, it doesn't seem very intuitive to acquire. Again, nice work!

                                            @pittstone doesn't exist, the image is made up of 2 files one from photoshop and one from indesign along with filtering from Inkscape and compression from riot.
