      @lostless once you figure it out let me know so we can upload the crt version as well. The latest version i uploaded fixed the gamelist alignment to line up centered to the balls for the dithered backgrounds.

        Hey all, I'm making the custom collection theme folder. What should the image be? Maybe a rack of game, pile of folders, I don't know? Taking advice or make your own and share.

          Now released on the Es themes menu. Added the custom collection folder for when it is officially added.
          @edmaul69 to add (I give you permission) 😄, you need to fork retropie-setup on github and edit the file. So go to retropies github and browse retropie-setup to scriptmodules/supplementary/esthemes.sh
          There you see a list of users and theme names.
          Hit the edit button, which will automatically fork a version for you, and add your user name and theme name. Save and it'll ask if you want to do a pull request with the original.
          Thing is that the name of the theme must be
          es-theme-themename. No -master. So reupload or see if you can rename the theme. I'll get you a low res of custom collections soon.

                      @sergioad feel free to let me know if you're interested in any systems that may be missing. I'm doing them on kinda some person needs them basis.

                        I'm glad to see this finally hit the installer. It's hands down my favorite theme, being a PS fanboy and all.
                        I've been trying to think of something to do for the custom collection since I saw your post this morning, and I'm still at a stand still on original ideas.

                            I found this to take screenshots, it works great.

                            Basically this guide will teach you how to set up Raspi2PNG, use a single command script
                            and set up a samba link to easily access those screen shots from a designated folder.

                            Step 1
                            First you need to get the program/dependency and compile the bin

                            sudo apt-get install libpng12-dev

                            git clone https://github.com/AndrewFromMelbourne/raspi2png
                            cd raspi2png
                            make

                            Step 2
                            Now you need to move raspi2png to your local bin and create a .sh script

                            sudo mv raspi2png /usr/local/bin

                            sudo nano /usr/local/bin/screenshot.sh

                            sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/screenshot.sh

                            copy and paste this

                            #!/bin/bash
                            raspi2png -p ~/RetroPie/screenshots/$(date +%m%d%Y_%H%M%S).png

                            save by "ctrl + x" then "y"

                            Step 3
                            now to create screenshots folder and add samba link

                            mkdir ~/RetroPie/screenshots

                            sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

                            copy and paste this at the end of the file

                            [screenshots]
                            comment = screenshots
                            path = "/home/pi/RetroPie/screenshots"
                            writeable = yes
                            guest ok = yes
                            create mask = 0644
                            directory mask = 0755
                            force user = pi

                            Step 4
                            Restart Samba server and take your first screenshot

                            sudo service smbd restart

                            in terminal type

                            screenshot.sh

                            Step 5
                            Access your screenshots folder through samba

                            \retropie

                            or mac os x

                            smb://retropie

                            Step 6
                            Clean up left over folder

                            sudo rm -r ~/raspi2png

                              @lostless just stubbled on this theme when updating one my Pi's. Very nice, reminds me of 1998 all over again :D

                              My only problem is, no Amiga or ZX Spectum logos?

                                @lostless could I by chance get a psd of the background you use for each system name? Trying to make this screen with a few modifications. alt text

                                  @lostless Can you please update this theme to include metadata? That would really push this theme over the top!
                                  Thanks

                                    I mainly made this theme for myself and my PlayStation project. I just happily shared it here for others. I don’t plan to update it. You are free to edit the theme yourself and make it your own. It’s how I got into learning making this theme was editing another theme and see how it’s all put together.

                                      @lostless Ah that’s a pity, this would’ve been a great theme for all the PlayStation classic mods that are gonna be popping up. It’s a great theme as is, but a little too plain with only the cover art.

                                      Thanks for your response..

                                        @dirty_horror I may one day work on it again, if I can remember how to code a theme. Lol. It’s been a while. but I’ve never really been a fan of metadata. Artwork is all I’ve ever used. Now’s the time for you to learn like I did. It was actually quite fun to learn myself and see come into a full fledged theme. It wasn’t that hard to learn. Good luck

                                            @soulgriever here's the raw data and psd files. Have fun looking at them and making this theme your own.
