SNES mini theme

@ruckage I love the neon white spectrum background a lot, great job

@sergioad
Thanks, glad you got it working - so did the ES settings I gave you give you the look you were after? -
@dankcushions
Would you mind adding this to the ES themes installer (like you did for my Nes Mini theme) or is that something I can do myself? -

I gotta say, the thing that I find most appealing about new themes is how they handle unknown systems (without artwork or logos, etc). The trick is to make the default font or icon look like part of the default theme - as opposed to ugly text hat looks out of place.
This keeps me from feeling obligated to always add my custom logos and artwork. Saves me time. Lol.
I noticed that retropie 4.3 has made much improvement in this respect.
-
@ruckage yes
-
This is brilliant! This theme should be the default one in Retropie, since it looks so clean you could use it as marketing advantage!
PS: This theme is lacking MSX, otherwise it's perfect :-)
-
@nko Sadly RetroPie could be sued if it had this theme by default, Nintendo is realy protective with all things Nintendo
-
@nko Glad you like the theme.
I think Carbon is the perfect default theme for ES, it supports all the systems and it's a nice clean look. A lot of the fun with retropie comes from customising it to your own tastes though and that's where all the different themes come in and there a lots of amazing themes available to suit any taste.

@ruckage That is true :) right now I am using Carbon as my default because I am also using the Carvon video splashscreen and my custom Carbon launch images with SNES mini as secundary theme

@ruckage Not sure if this could be of any use to you or not but...

@lilbud Thanks. I've already drawn everything so I technically don't need it but it's cool to see. There are some difference, but it's mostly deliberate. I may use it to adjust a few colours as mine were drawn by hand based on youtube videos so it's possible a few of the colours are way off (not that it really matters).
Where did you find the image - have they dumped the European and Japanese version yet as I'd like to see those too.

I found it on the snesminimods subreddit over on Reddit. As the kernel is dug threw, more images may be found.

@skj I think this is it: https://www.reddit.com/r/miniSNESmods/comments/735r90/snes_mini_sprite_palette/

I'm still fairly new to RetroPie, so there might be a really obvious answer to this.
Is it possible to have an icon and background for "Collections" with this theme?

Is it possible to put individual icons for an individual collection? I have a SNES Classic Collection here but it just shows a random game.

@fatwhitelump
Hi. In answer to your first question - I'm actually working on custom collections right now.
Regarding picking the preview art for collections, I don't think so.
It's possible to have individual icons/backgrounds for each collection that shows up on the carousel but that would involve me creating individual icons/backgrounds for every possible collection which can quickly get out of hand. I will probably do a few select special collections but not just yet. -
@ruckage i myself would be more then happy with a collections menu like some themes do so you go to collections and all collections are listed in a list. The need for individual collections I feel are not necessary as a collections menu works and doesn't hurt the theme look and would be a lot easier on you to make then making each custom collection.
For now I turned off my collections in favor of you theme too good to changed just for collections
-
@ruckage Oh, cool. Glad to hear collection support is coming.
I wasn't expecting you to make custom collection icons, that would be insane, I was just curious if it was possible to set my own.
