i found out how to fix the problem see- <removed>, but thanks anyways guys

Another nice feature would be to cycle different pictures, like screenshot / flyer / cabinet.

Actually, you can use emulationstation for windows as a theme editor. I think that it would be very hard to adjust the objects dragging them with the mouse cursor and people will end up using text editor anyways.

update:

removed CRT theme renamed "HD" theme added grid view

the CRT only theme is now unneeded so I removed it and instead renamed the "HD" one and added grid view.

@clyde Thank you very much for your kind words. I actually do have a couple of other ideas I'd like to work on. I'll be sure to post them if I do!

@haleice there is no variable that can be used for game images. You are limited to the media files specified in your gamelist.xml.
Variables are only available for system related images or text.

I was able to edit other gamelist.xml files in each individual roms folders and modify their content. Why would this be unique and not have those values shown? I would at least hope to see the xml have some sort of tag or comment. Then I can go in there and remove them. Is there a way to reset it back to before I scraped it?

@andrewh I know it is not what you asked for, but I saw a thread some time ago where someone used Attract Mode, as there is apparently a decent vertical theme.

Oh my god! Yes, there is! None of them are installed, but I can install the ones I want! Thanks so much, you guys!

Hi @A12C4, I been following this thread and really love the work you're doing here, can't wait to see the results. It will give the theme makers some awesome flexibility!

@F7047045 It's literally in his post...

@meleu Doesn't really bother me what you do with them.

Also, despite both of you mentioning me, I didn't get any notification.

thanks for your reply mate , i will check it out

@clyde You are right. I don't have any pi overheating.

@mitu @herb_fargus Awesome, thanks for your answers. Pretty handy features!

Speaking as a Pi newbie, how exactly does this solution work? I'd like to have a screenshot or vid displayed as well. Found this thread because I was searching on if taking screenshots was even possible, so my level of knowledge on this seems obvious.

It does seem that, for some reason, ES was not updated for you. It complained about a missing "selectorHeight" property, which should exist in more recent ES builds. I don't know why that's not the case for the 4.3 image, though, as it should have a very recent ES build in it.

Do you still get those selectorHeight errors in the new ES?
