      I already try everything that i know to resolve my problem but i cant make it work anyway.
      What i want is create some custom collections and then add a image and a logo to them, it should be simple to do it but apparently for me it isnt.
      If anyone know how to do it or if it is possible or not i will apreciate that
      Cheers

        I just discover how to do it now, my bad.
        https://github.com/JungleJim42/es-theme-collections
        this provides some help.
        Basically i was putting the folder in themes with the same name as the .cfg (ex: custom-test).

        To make this work the Collection .cfg in .emulationstation\collections should be custom-NAME

        and

        The Theme .emulationstation\themes (create the folder if u didnt have one) copy existing theme that u want to customize from Theme folder in /etc/emulationstation/themes to the new folder that u just created, then the new folder should have the name of the collection "NAME" and not the full .cfg name "custom-NAME".

        U can copy the .xml from other collection then just tweak it, it is actually super ez.

        Edit: for Automatic collections just do the same process but the names for the folders are "auto-lastplayed", "auto-favorites" and "auto-allgames".
