          Collection as also good tho, though there are lots of system centric themes so I would go for retroflix if you only can do one

            Digging the Retroflix one, I'd download that to my television RetroPie for sure. I'm not into the other two, because I personally prefer darker coloured themes that are more streamlined and less hectic. Those chaotic flashy themes usually just end up distracting me.

            • First Pi: Pi 3 in a PSone case
            • Second Pi: Pi 0 in a Retroflag GPi Case
            • Third Pi: Pi 4 as a desktop computer
            • Some time in 2020: Picade

              My vote is for Collector. I like all 3 , but my preference order is Collector > Ads > Retroflix.

                  1. Collector
                  2. Retroflix

                  May I suggest renaming Retroflix to Retropie or Retroplay? Flix refers to movies, which is not what your theme is displaying :)
                  This is just a suggestion and my own personal opinion though, your themes look amazing! Great work!

                      Thanks everybody for the feedback. I am starting the design of Retroflix. Firstly with 12 systems and 1080p.

                        @GeekOB The name is decided because tooks the look'n'feel of Netflix. On the film/movie side i'll try to get video background with the gameplay, to get a near experience of the movies/series plataforms.

                        Thanks for you advice

                            A sneak peak: https://github.com/lLord/retroflix

                            Its my first theme, so i m modding an existing one. Because I am developing on WIN10, i need some beta testers ;) So you can get a little taste of the experience.

                            Currently, i only have the system view with these systems:

                            NES
                            SNES
                            N64
                            MEGADRIVE
                            MASTER SYSTEM
                            GAME GEAR
                            NEO GEO
                            NINTENDO DS
                            GAME BOY ADVANCE

                            (MAME & ATARI 2600 almost done).

                            The next step is the game list view (in two days will be done). More systems incoming.

                            Thank you in advance.

                              Looks fine so far !.
                              My 2c:

                              • in RetroPie, there are 2 systems for NES games - fds and nes. You can use the current (JP oriented) style for on the fds system, while for the nes system you can use an EU/US artwork style.
