@alphatoanant By the looks of it, I am running emulationstation 2.9.0RP. I am going to try and see if I can try to downgrade to a previous version... I can't remember what I was on before, but I had a sinking feeling I'd break something when I updated things.

@EctoOne I second this, I've requested this before. It makes sense to have boxart and a screenshot option in detail view using the md_marquee. this could give people the option of displaying either static (screenshot) or video view, while still displaying the boxart. Plus - for my personal preference, i could turn off my annoying fan noise when using screenshots lol.

@herb_fargus Thanks! Will check it out

Just thought i'd mention it here. OTF works natively. No need for conversion.

@pacdude Any update on your new theme?

@mattrixk Hey there mattrixk, i made the changes you suggested and they worked out pretty well. I think it looks pretty nice now. I updated the screenshots with the new changes. Now the area around the screenshot / movie, that has been more of a challenge to get something that doesn't make the whole thing look too busy or full. My kingdom for a graphic artist! :)

It's me or sometimes the ratings don't show correctly? I'm using the theme with Retroarch and emulationstation.

@Zigurana If you want, maybe I can take a look when my job on the grid view will be "finished". I start to understand well this part of the code base.

@alphatoanant Thanks for your response! I will pull the newest version of the theme right away. Hype!

@jdrassa As part of the theming-refactoring, I have started to split out the carousel into it's own GuiComponent-based class. This gets complicated real quickly, as the carousel should also take care of member population, input handling (incl the texture loading/unloading), so I had dropped it again for now. Things move slow enough as it is X-). But anyway, if you want me to send you the stubs, let me know. Btw: if I read the OP correctly, this also is a CR for an 'automatic' carousel, in the sense that it will move through the contained members on a time interval?

@Zigurana Thank you for the clarification. I feel like that is the better and more flexible option for themeing.

@LiveFastCyYoung Glad to hear that was sorted. 160 - or 16 - would have certainly been a problem. I doubt that would have impacted ES from source, though, as this is just about GPU memory, but I don't know much - maybe you have other things there that are impacting the overall memory. Glad this is sorted now.

@Keigan I take full responsibility

I'm looking all through the code and have a tough time pin pointing where it is located. I'm not a big C++ guy but I'm decent at reading code. This must be fairly easy for someone who is competent in C++, anyone else I'm certain I'm not the only person interested in this idea, maybe we can all work together...

I loved this theme. I am planning on make a fork just to change some preferences, like not force uppercase. Congrats and thank you

@Rookervik well, that is true, you have a really good and valid point there; pardon me 😁

@robertybob as far as I know it's set up for it to appear in the RetroPie menu but I don't know if anything else needs to happen for it to show up there. For sure it works to copy it over manually via FTP, that's the way I did it.

Thanks, @paradadf That looks quite good (and it saves a lot of work). If I understood it correctly, the Universal XML Scraper would generate a unique file mixing both images. That would be a nice solution and I guess that's the one I'll use (although I'm still interested in seeing if it's possible to have two separate images, mainly because you can have them in separate views of the theme).

I think we should be able to make extra carousels, on all of the views and also to use it for other images such as metadata, like marquees, or md_images. Also an origin type function for the carousel would make the variety of nice looking carousels go up.
