      I am working on an vertical cabinet and can't find many themes that fit my 768 160 screen. Does anyone have any suggestions on themes that are simple and leverage video?

        The default Carbon theme(s) are simple and they support video. But 768x160 is not a 4:3 screen.

            @cnoto said in 4:3 Themes:

            768 1380

            That's still not a 4:3 screen. Is this in a portrait orientation ? I don't remember any themes being designed for this particular orientation.

              @mitu I believe it is a portrait orientation. Its a 24 inch TV turned on its side. Finding a theme for this build has been very tough. It has forced me to work through some theme modification which is outside of my skill set. Ok so im not crazy and a theme for this size doesn't exist?

                  Most of the themes are not designed for a portrait mode - but you can try some of the 4:3 and CRT designed themes. I remember one them ( crt-centered ) had a simpler layout, with video on top of the gamelist, which would maybe fit the bill.

                  EDIT: you can run the theme-gallery from the Configuration/Tools->Emulationstation to get previews for different themes, just to see how they fit on your screen.
