      Ok I have managed to shift up the controller image and also shrink the character image but I just wondered if anyone can contact @wildfire to see if he would share his mod of this theme? I cant see how to message him on here and he was online today. I think his mod is just perfect and I don't really have the time or patience to try and do it myself, especially the different character images. They just look amazing and seem to pop off the screen.
      Can anyone contact him please or even replicate it?

        @pootis-spencer This is my config:
        <carousel name="systemcarousel">
        <logoSize>0.215 0.065</logoSize>
        <maxLogoCount>6</maxLogoCount>

        i also moved the helpbar to not seeing position:
        <helpsystem name="help">
        <pos>0.05 1.97</pos>

        my controllers Position and Size:
        <image name="controller" extra="true">
        <path>./_assets/controllers/${system.theme}.png</path>
        <pos>0.9795 0.935</pos>
        <size>0.235 0.360</size>

          You can just turn the helpsystem off in the options, just FYI.

              @a-bored-ninja It should already have one for SG-1000 its in the _assets/characters folder.
              The only one I have found thats missing is videopac if anyone has one

                @pootis-spencer I'll have to check it out. It isn't showing up on the Pi.

                  Check the name you have on that system, It has to match exactly with the theme's name folder "sg-1000" (minus characters)

                    @chicuelo I'll do that. The system shows up, just no pic.

                      @a-bored-ninja Sorry I just checked, there is no sg-1000 theme yet. The controller and character image are not in the theme. The logo and the background re displayed but there is no controller and character Art

                                  I have a question, is it possible to make the videos display in their native resolution? Often with some systems which uses video snaps with rez below that which this theme uses for videos, it introduces alot of artifacting and shimmering.

                                    @duiz As far as I know, there is no easy way to do that. Sizes of elements are set with percentage values so that they will adapt to the resolution of EmulationStation. It probably is possible to set native video resolutions individually for each system for a specific EmulationStation resolution. But if then a user uses a different resolution the videos will be resized again.
                                    Basically we need another size option for elements. We have <size> and <maxSize> now and could use something like <originalSize>which then will use the size of the media.

                                      I added a feature request for original size tagging, that would be very useful for themes.

                                        @duiz Now that I think of it, I don't know if it would be very practical to use it.
                                        It would only makes sense on smaller screens. I mean if EmulationStation is running at 1080p and you have a video of a game boy playing at it's native resolution, it probably would be a little bit small.
                                        Then we have some themes where the video plays on an image of a handheld screen or tv. If we had native video resolutions, the creator of the theme has to provide different images to fit a variety of screens.

                                        I like the idea but it seems easier to me to manually edit the theme to make the videos smaller.

                                          What kind of measurement unit does the <size> tags use?

                                            Hi @chicuelo! I'd like to thank you so much for your theme. It's simply...the best I've tried this far!!!

                                            There's just one thing I'd like to ask you (if you don't mind): I'm trying to show the "power off" tail on screen. Now it appears correctly with "2 games" inside which allow me to power off and reboot my Pi.

                                            My concern is that while I see some "power on" "power off" images when I look for your theme in Youtube...I see nothing in mine. I'm missing the image which appears at the low right side of the tail (in the main screen) and the two images (which correspond to the power on and shutdown options) once inside the tail.

                                            Am I missing something or maybe this images are just not included in the theme?

                                            Man thanks once again for your great work!
                                            :-)
