@Akyita said in UI Feedback Sounds:

-Is there a way to put more sounds?

No, Emulationstation doesn't have support for other sounds other than the gamelist navigation (scrolling through games).

@pockketz yes its possible, make sure you create a new folder for your combination and not overwriting existing files. Copy the file "simple.xml", the "art" folder, and any other lose file in the Tronkyfran folder to the new folder, then copy all the folders (except art folder) from carbon to the new theme folder.

It looks like the paths for those two themes are the same, but expect many parameters to be off, such as text and images being misaligned. So you will likely need to read up on themes here https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Creating-Your-Own-EmulationStation-Theme

Wow, that was fast!

Thank you @mitu

@cainkirisgai your Zelda theme for ES is absolutely perfect for a project I'm working on! Where can I get it!?!?

Thanks for all that info! I'll try it out and tell you.

Here's the screenshot, it shows the same thing as the photo:

@mitu said in Theme Issues:

@ballboff Remove the /home/pi/.emulationstation/themes link and then re-create the folder, you should be able copy there your theme and then select it from Emulationstation.

Ok, i'll give that a go, and thanks for your patience. :)

@pit1209 I didn't even know someone copied my theme and passed it off as their own. Thanks for telling me.

I'd say just delete that one and download my minimal theme, it has all the files I mentioned above.

@maxdude6 said in Problem installing new ES Theme:

have since updated my "retropie script"

So much for running the 'latest version'...

Way to make someone feel welcome.

@maxdude6 great that you've solved your issue buddy.

@herb_fargus said in ES Themes Menu Revision:

Another suggestion would be a culling to keep well maintained themes and leaves the others to an auxillary script.

I think this is a good option as well.

I also like this idea.

Editing the es_systems.cfgjust for one theme seems like a stupid idea IMO, because it will break probably all other themes that require the snes folder.
I just looked at the retrorama github and would suggest to rename the snes folder to snesntsc and the snespal folder to snes. That should work.

@spudsmctoole said in How to make a quick and simple theme?:

If it's the link in home/pi that leads to /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation, there's no themes folder in there.

Yes, that's th folder. By default there is no themes folder, but you can create it and then copy the theme's folder in there.

@mitu Great! thanks, it works.

I tried commenting out both, like you suggested, but the dimming is still happening. I’m thinking this is just a default behavior in EmulationStation.

So what happened was, I didn't think I wanted ALL of RPie when I started. So I cloned a Emulationstation repos...

with retropie-setup you can install as little or as much of retropie as you like.
