      Hi Everyone,

      I had a quick question concerning variables used in theme XMLs. Do we have a list of variables that are available for theme creators? In the wiki documentation under Advanced Emulationstation Theming, I see references to $(system.theme) or $(themeColor), etc. Just not finding much on the Retropie forums or Google searches.

      If possible, what I wanted to do is use .png images for genre and number of players, while in detailed view of a system. As an example, if I scroll to a game that has genre of maze, it would display the maze.png icon and, say 2 players.png icon, instead of text in Emulationstation.

      Thanks!

      Edit: Nevermind, I have found the answer to my question...I see the documentation for variables on the emulationstation themes github.
