                If I could make one suggestion, I would put the release date with the game details, and move rating up where the release date is just to streamline the game info a bit more.

                  Thanks, but i want to move release date to player number, and i want to move up player number with a special font to show better VS, COOP, and ALTernative game.

                      I have work a lot to make some cool improvement to the skin :)

                      • Possible to remove the HELPBAR on the gamelist to save space for description and gamelist.
                      • New icons to show player number and multiplayer style : Vs / Coop / Alt(ernative)

                      0_1519648543144_Sans titre-2.jpg

                      I found no where any icons to use for multi-style ... i have create them myself.
                      If some one have some cool ideas and want to share other icon, i'm open.

                            I updated 15 systems today ... i work on it every days ... i already can share it but it is not done and if i do it i'm sure many people will ask me for systems not done yet, and ask so many questions that will make me lost time to work on it.

                            You will see when i will release it, i add more stuff than i use in each system directory. If i can found and work on more system photo, more different logo, i add them to let the user choose what he want to use.

                            I make for the systems the French and English Description and Informations. But there are not perfect because working on graphism take me already many time ...
                            I search some people who want help me to read and correct english text and why not add an other language.

                                    Here is a new RVGM skin video, to show all the Retropie supported systems i've made.
                                    On theme from one game for each system with background more empty possible, and the hero sprite in front.
                                    With big system logo and many informations ...

                                    I've already done :

                                    • Almost 62 systems ...

                                    I have to add 9 more systems :

                                    • MSX 1 & 2 (already draw 1 & 2)
                                    • MSDos (already draw 386 & 486)
                                    • Atari ST (already draw)
                                    • Game & Watch
                                    • Dreamcast
                                    • PSP
                                    • All games
                                    • Favorites games
                                    • Last played games

                                    I have made 6 not sported yet by Retropie :

                                    • Apple 2e
                                    • Apple 2gs
                                    • Supervision, Watara
                                    • Creativision : Maybe trying with lr-mess driver crvision : 80-100% speed
                                    • Interton VC4000 : Maybe trying with lr-mess driver scv
                                    • Amstrad GX4000 : Maybe trying with lr-mess driver gx4000 : 65% speed, some games still feel very playable

                                    More come quickly ...

                                    Now you can try it on with the GIT, and track my updates :

                                    Collaborative work :

                                    • I search some one to help me and correct english texts.
                                    • If some want to help and add more language it can be really cool : DE, ES, IT, JP, ...
                                    • For all the systems you already have the FR and US machine, some time the JAP one too ... you can help to add more.

                                    • For all the systems you already have the FR and US logo, some time more, you can help to add more if you want too.

                                    • I'm open to all ideas to improve the theme. I know i must also continue to work on my XML.

                                    NOT ask for theme problems and crash, it's a beta not finished!
                                    And on my PI i have activate all the systems ... and now the theme is bugging, flicking ... ES memory problems :(

                                    Life is game, just play it !

                                      Very nice skin. I'm eager to try it. Hoping the developers will address the issue in ES if it's confirmed.

                                        Yes, i wish, because gamelist working fine, only the Carrousel is bugging. Images are replace by white square and displayed later, or not.

                                          Been using this a couple of times last week and i also ran into the problems with the carousel. I don't use all systems (6 or 7 maybe), but i managed to fix the carousel by giving ES a bit more VRAM. On my system 120Mb seems to be enough.

                                          Besides that, a great theme. I love the fact i can see boxart, video and the description in the gamelist. I did found some minor issues with boxart and some spacing issues in the carousel, but this could be my fault as i'm running a older version.

                                            Woaw excellent, i don't think to try this and you are right, with 120Mb i can now use fien my theme and see all my systems.
                                            But some backgrounds, 4 or 5 are not loading ... i don't understand why?
                                            I also try with 200Mb and it works but it's horrible, many images are not loading :(

                                            I don't know really how works the VRAM. Is some one can explain it to me ?

                                            • How many VRAM can we use max? (because with 130 or 200Mb it bug, many white images)
                                            • If i use many VRAM for ES, i remove this RAM to Retroarch ? (because ES is always in background if i understand fine)

                                            Besides that, a great theme. I love the fact i can see boxart, video and the description in the gamelist.

                                            Thanks :)

                                            If you try the last version, can you report me these issues with screenshot or not ?

                                            @duiz Now the theme is near finished, you can take it and try it.
                                            If you can report me the English text problems, i can fix them.
