        @Lendersmark There is a "famicom" folder and a "FDS" one, I think both are the same and you have roms in both folders. I suggest to move all on a single folder and make the other dissapear.

          I managed to edit all the system indicator files and created a 14 systems theme.
          AWESOME!

          I've got 30 on the go now, bloody indicators took me ages. :p

            Can imagine creating more will take a lot more time. 😃 I “only” had to remove 2 indicators from my set.

              I had a good template system by the end. I still think of extra systems I want, and I'm hesitant as I don't want to mess with the indicators again!

                  Systems "name" are screwed.

                  I've just downloaded the theme from both setup and github and it looks the same (just in case any was wrong).

                  16:10 1920x1080, could it be the resolution?

                    Uhm, sometimes, starting EmulationStation fails with error:

                      @daviduco You are having troubles with the bigger system name text. I don´t know why could this be happening

                        @chicuelo it's a retropie buster 4.7.1 fresh install.

                        Let me check tomorrow on a 1080p screen.

                        There are no errors in emulationstation log.

                          @chicuelo i've noticed i don't have any png for system in /_art/indicators path.

                          There's a call in theme.xml to those files for every sytem:

                          <image name="indicator" extra="true">
                              <path>./_art/indicators/${system.theme}.png</path>
                              <tile>false</tile>
                              <color>F8F8F8</color>
                              <origin>0 0</origin>
                              <pos>-0.002 0.15</pos>
                              <size>0 0.70</size>
                           </image>
                          

                          And yes, the bigger system name text works like a charm on a 16:9 screen.

                          16:10 doesn't like it :(

                            @daviduco Thats strange, maybe you could reduce the size of the font a bit.

                            In order to run, you have to rename the dot files according to your systems order

                              Love this. However, why is "FAVOURITE" the "X" button?

                                @dirty_monkee I think it was a design mistake. I will fix in some days

                                  If you scroll up a little you'll notice I have corrected the X for a Y and uploaded it here.
                                  You can use that one for now or wait until @chicuelo fixes it officially.

                                    I found this after I put posting my reply and have used yours, thanks.

                                    Is there a way I can remove the indicators altogether as I have more than the allocated systems and can’t be bothered to add more via photoshop/inskape.

                                      @panja The theme is uploaded on @nil06 ´s github, so he will have to update the project. I have some new images so we could make a bigger update

                                          I was wondering if someone could walk me through how to rename the .png files so my indicators show up in order. I have gotten to the file manager page that shows the .pngs I need to change and am pressing F6 but get stumped at that point as to what I should do.

                                            @cress5 You have to rename the files inside the indicators folder from 1st-system.png to 16th-system.png, Eventually, 1-st-system should match the first system you have listed in your es_systems.xml, 2-nd-system with the second and so...
                                            For example: if mame libretro is the first sistem you see, you have to rename "1-st-system.png" to "mame-libretro.png", if your second system is nes, you will have to rename "2-nd-system.png" to "nes.png"

                                            Its very simple, the name of the png indicates the position of the white dot.
                                            NOTICE that if you have more than 16 systems they will lack of indication.
