@redbatman There's should be a tutorial in the docs, also looking at the themes.md document (which was linked in the tutorial last time I've looked at it) can be helpful.
And yeah, getting a theme that looks close to what you want and change things is a good way to start. Then you can look at even more themes to understand how to change positions and whatnot.
It might take a while to understand everything but on the other side, there's not that much to learn.
If you have a Windows PC, I also suggest to get the Windows build of EmulationStation, with that you can edit your files and immediately check the changes.

@sirhenrythe5th Thank you! Im glad you enjoy it!

@wcarvalho

Pixel Theme for me! :D

on my pc i use a global dark theme with stylish but since chrome on my tablet doesn't support extensions, i would also like to see a build in dark theme.

@a12c4 Ok I'll try this. Thank You!

@matchaman if you have your theme up on GitHub or have codeblocks/screenshots showing examples of what you're trying it might be easier for others to help troubleshoot

@mikozzz Don't take VRAM that high on a Pi - in fact, you might be better off trying out a lower number. Anything over 120 is quite likely to result in problems.

You could probably run sudo vcdbg reloc via ssh and see the free GPU memory you'd have.

If push comes to shove, maybe actually increasing the memory split for that theme is the way to go - I don't know if it loads a lot of high-resolution assets or something.

@dal1980 I am using the 3.5mm jack for both Audio and Video. It's a 3.5mm Jack to RCA (Composite) cable. Also it's a CRT so my scanlines are natural. Not running any overlays at all.

Thanks btw. Will mess with it when I get some free time over the weekend.

[Edit]
I guess I'll also add that I am running a script that switches resolution between ES and games. In order to read the ES Menu's it's running at 480p and my games are in 240p. Here is a link to the Guide I used.

@hitch187 said in Sega Genesis theme:

I think, personally for my system, the Splash screen is okay, I possibly could keep the systems menu as is on the default theme, then for the game selection for each system, have a custom background for each system (Edit: I don't actually think you can do this, I may have misspoke).

You actually can do that. Since the themes are based on layers it is possible to have one global background image and put different images on top. Setting up different images for each system can be done by the old method, where you have to create a separate theme.xml in its own systemname folder. Or by using variables and have all images in its own decicated folders.
The theme from @chicuelo is using that method to display different controller and character images on the carousel but it can easily be added to gamelist view.

I have the same issue using SNES Mini theme by @ruckage . The video snaps are left-aligned, not centered as they should. How do we modify the alignment?

Hi mate I removed all the unwanted systems off for my cabinet. I found people going straight into stuff like Amiga and Playstation where you need keyboard or Analogue inputs. I have Arcade, nes & snes, master system & mega drive. Simple is better on a cab...i think.

I just said "fuck it" and decided to overwrite the icons.

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

Beeeeauutiful theme! 4:3 / 5:4 aspect would be fantastic! Maybe its lower resolution would be kinder to the Pie?

Hi. How to remove compltely the rating stars please ?

Thanks i'll check it out

Actually, looks like it's not quite done yet but getting there: https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/3946
