      So i have the carbon theme with all systems, games, and video snaps. But i don't want the game info, i want a clean look with just the game name and video. So how do i disable the game info? I see alot of themes with no game info!

            Ok so i installed the carbon no meta theme and it only shows boxart and not videos. I updated the theme like the standard theme and still no videos. The standard carbon theme plays videos. What am i doing wrong on the no meta theme? On the regular carbon theme it defaulted to videos when i updated the theme but not the no meta theme.

              @dizmodawg The Carbon no meta theme doesn't currently support video snaps. You can edit the Carbon theme to remove the meta data.

              To do this, first you must make a copy of the Carbon theme from /etc/emulationstation/themes to /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/themes.

              Next you need to edit carbon.xmlto remove the meta data by replacing the contents of a <text> tag with <pos>1 1</pos>. Check the corresponding file in the no meta theme for guidance.
