      Hi @ruckage , love the theme, but I have some small issue. The background turns black when I switch between consoles in the menu. Not when I select them, but just when I scroll through them. Anyway to keep the background the same and not have it turn to black while I am scrolling?

          Just had to create an account to say after being disheartened from missing out on the SNES Mini, seeing this theme made me dig out my Raspberry Pi and get to grips with RetroPie. It’s an awesome theme. Thanks a lot.

          If you could add the music & sounds provided in those recent posts it’ll be perfecto!

          Please add Nintendo DS (DraStic) graphics so I can play Mario Kart DS without switching themes.

              Hi,

              Welcome to the forum and I'm glad you like the theme.

              NDS has been included with this from the start, there was an error in the very first version I released so that the NDS icon wouldn't appear but that was fixed very quickly, try installing the latest version if you're having problems.

              Regarding music and sounds, ES currently only supports a list scroll sound effect and a launch sound effect (though this doesn't seem to work with instant transitions) so there is no way for me to incorporate all the sound effects into this.
              Likewise background music is also not supported by ES, this is something you would need to add yourself.

              See this post by @synack for what I found to be the easiest way to setup background music: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/347/background-music-continued-from-help-support/43

                  EDIT: OK nevermind, I changed my resolution to 1080p and the problem is gone. It was bad scaling at 720p

                  I've seen something that I can't unsee, a very small flaw... that became a huge problem for me lol
                  When you move to Atari, the instructions above move by few pixels (on the emulator selection AND roms selection menu). Since my transition style is set to "instant", I can see the instructions above move D:

                  Any quick fix?

                  And THANKS A LOT for this amazing theme. Your theme actually sold me on getting retropie.

                    Hi. Yeah you will get strange scaling errors when not displaying at 1080p as the theme is aimed at a 1080p display. Not sure why it would differ from system to system though as all the sytems use the same base xml file, must just be a quirk of EmulationStation.

                      I recently found out about this excellent theme a few days ago from ETA Prime and I plan on using it for a Raspberry Pi 3 build I'm thinking of doing. Thank you Ruckage for making this great theme for us! :)

                        @ruckage fyi, since you are using theme variables, you shouldn't have to wrap the carousel theming with <feature supported="carousel">.

                            I not sure this is bug or something else...
                            I have a set of snes game(with chinese name) and i found that when i apply this theme it will get "segmentation fault" easily while i browse around the game list (with chinese name).

                            Initially i suspect that it might be related with my roms...
                            but it seem not the reason as i found that it work perfectly on other theme...
                            thus ... i believe that might be something that not compatible with this theme.
                            Anyone can advise on this..?
                            sorry for my bad english...

                              Probably something to do with the font of this theme. By the looks of it, I don't think the font supports Chinese characters.

                              Don't sweat it.
                              When in doubt, take a BYTE out of life.

                                  Thanks, that will just be bit of left over that I forgot to delete from when it was needed in the past, I'll remove it in the next update.

                                    As @PokeEngineer said the fonts don't support Chinese characters so that would probably be the problem.

                                      I could maybe make an alternative icon but the only real difference with the megadrive/genesis 2 is cosmetic, it's still the same system.

                                          Awesome theme...great job!! I have a NESc and SNESc but rather use my Pi versions! Threw an old Pi2 into a NESPi case, using your NES Mini them, added the theme music to it and a custom bezel/overlay I made and I'm in NES heaven now. Thanks for the hard work and great theme! Now I just need the NESPi guys to make a SNESPi case so I can make a SNES only Pi station :)

                                          Here's the NES overlay I made, now I just have to create one for SNES...will be the same look just different console/colors/images.
