Looks pretty good man.

Wow, that was fast!

Thank you @mitu

@mattrixk lol yeah man I'm having fun with it all, made one theme already but working on anither now just couldn't get rid of that text so I could add my own.

I will have to upload my first theme to share soon.
Thanks again.

@lilbud Ohhh... I see... I hipe you get back soon man

@mitu Great, will give it a try then!

@super-retropie Sensational you got terminal this theme can share please!

@quicksilver I was asking for the memory on the pi itself. Your answer was applicable. :)

@mattrixk I am running the latest retropie so that's all good but I did find what was causing the issue.

@mitu thank you very much for your help you were right it was the file path. Not an error on my part as all the paths were set correctly with / and not \ but it turns out that when making a theme in ES portable on the pc the file paths to all the images and such were slightly off.

Instead of an _Inc folder I'm weird and have my images and such in a folder called art. There is 1 art folder in the main theme folder for the main theme images and such then there is 1 art folder in each of the system folders for each consoles images.

In retropie the file path required for the theme to be able to find the images correctly is just ./art/image.png as it only needs to look directly into the art folder within that system folder.

It seems that with ES portable that the file path for some reason is ./.. /art/image.png which I presume is effectively telling ES portable to go back a folder to look for the images?

All I needed to do in the end was change it from ./../art/image.png to ./art/image.png and its all working great now.

I've been playing with the themes for the past few days and I think im almost finishedwith my theme now and I'm working on a much better one too. Might have to make a custom img to upload I've recently acquired just under 20k games across 48 platforms, going to take a while to scrape! Lol.

@mutedemon It depends on the theme - what theme are you trying to modify ?

@mitu I'm using the latest image. I've just found that after doing an update though, it is gone from the themes menu.

@Carnivore Can you reupload zip file?

@jdrassa Thank you for the clarification! Merry Christmas!

@mitu Thanks for that tip. That was eventually what was bugging me. So... The theme is already on it way to being made :P.

@herb_fargus said in My personal spin to tronkyfran is now completed and available for downlod:

Instead of creating a new repo, you can fork the original repo and make your changes, that way people can see what modifications you've made to the original via the commit history

To be honest I completely re-wrote a lot of the XML and renamed a lot of images to make my life easier so that they had common names. Its mostly the artwork that I used... Not sure it would be useful to branch like that in this instance. This really is almost a new theme just using the images from tronkyfran, I did most of that work for simplification. The XML files for each system are much more common now, its really the simple.xml file that does most of the work.

Oh and thanks for the images ;-)
