      Nearly ready now, should probably be releasing the theme in the next few days (or perhaps I should wait until 29/9/17).
      The initial release will only support 1080p but I will get the other resolutions/aspect ratios added soon.

      I've made a video splash screen that I'll also be including with the theme, it uses the startup sound from the GBA. Here is a gif of the video.

      I'm trying to decide what the default background style should be for the theme, I'm thinking either neon_black_spectrum or neon_blue_spectrum as they are quite eye catching. What does everyone else think? (see here for available styles).

        @ruckage It's hard to decide, they all look great. You can't go wrong with neon_blue_spectrum.

            Well done on the video. Looks great.
            Regarding the background, since we can swap it later anyways it doesn't really matter what WE think, choose what you like the most.
            But since you asked, I personally like neon_white_spectrum the most but if I had to choose between neon_black_spectrum and neon_blue_spectrum then blue would be my choice.

              I forgot to mention that the splash screen looks so good.

                I think the splash screen looks nice, but I think is better having one saying "Retropie" or "Emulation Station" instead of just "Nintendo" since most of us have multiple systems installed on our Raspberries aside from Nintendo, thanks for themes ruckage! the snes one looks great!

                  I prefer Neon deep Purple, as it matches the SNES US much better :D

                    I made it specifically for my own personal use to go with my Super Famicom build, I'm just sharing it as others with a Nintendo themed project may also like to use it.

                        Awesome! I didn't want to sound as if I were demanding for that splash screen (even it may sound as it), thanks ruckage, we appreciate all the efforts you have done over your themes, there are many themes in the scene but personally yours are the best!

                          @ruckage Great job, just like your themes.

                          Haven't really followed upcoming themes before, when you release the snes mini theme will it be available through retropie setup immediately?

                              The theme is now available to download from github.

                              It only supports 1080p for this initial release but I will add support for other resolutions and 4x3 modes.
                              Be sure to read the included '## CUSTOMISATION GUIDE ##.txt' for instruction on how to customise the look of the theme.

                              https://github.com/ruckage/snes-mini-es-theme/archive/master.zip

                              Here is a quick video of my Super Famicom build using this theme.

                                Somehow hadn’t replied in this thread yet...

                                Looks excellent, as always. I’ll load it up on the Pi after dinner and give it a test run!

                                  I don't know if you noticed, but the theme name order of the repo is switched around. Currently it's snes-mini-es-theme, instead of es-theme-snes-mini.

                                  Fixed now.

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

                                  😎

                                    I haven't had time to mess with the different backgrounds but it's really good so far.

                                    One small bug I noticed: The Nintendo DS logo doesn't display for me. I fixed it by renaming "NDS.png" to "nds.png" in art\logos

                                      @ruckage It's really good!

                                      Only problem so far for me are the symbols for playercount are distorted on games that have entries like "1-2 " or "1-4".

                                      Looks like this

                                        Nothing I can do about that, it relies on the player count in the gamelist being a single digit number so you'll have to edit your gamelist.xml.
