      @folly Wow, that looks great! I say let's go with it. :D

      What would be the next steps?

      It should also have that controller.svg .

      As the carbon theme is the default it should certainly be added to that theme.

      You have to make a fork of :
      https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-carbon
      Then add your theme and do a pull request so it can be added.

      I have learned now that they want everything in one commit.

      Before doing a pull request ask Mitu or Buzz if the commit is enough otherwise you get tangled in pull request without knowing what to do next.

      Read this and you know what I mean :

        @folly it's pretty standard for projects wanting changes grouped into single commits, but squashing commits is a 1 minute job in the command line once you know how. i know it's a pain but i encourage you to learn git on the command line: https://git-scm.com/docs/gittutorial - it's a useful skill these days!

          If I get a good or at least reasonable pull request put in for adding pico8 to Carbon, will it take months or years to be merged in? I see other PRs sitting there a long time.

            Well it seems I did manage the squashing part, but the pushing part did't work
            Thanks for giving me the link, I will look into it deeper.
            Hopefully I will get the picture ;-)

              Please, do continue, otherwise we don't get any further and that would be a shame as we are almost there.
              I think the pico-8 will be accepted much sooner than other systems.

                You have to force push like a Jedi in order to rewrite history like that.

                  This is what happens when I try to load emulationstation on Windows.
                  MESSED UP.png

                  So I guess something about how the Windows version draws SVGs is messed up.

                    Can you share your controller.svg ?
                    Let me see how it looks on Linux.

                      I tried it on RetroPie and it looks correct on there. Just not on Windows. Weird.

                        Not sure what the problem is.

                        I had a look at the system.svg .
                        I can pop out all objects so it seems to be a pure .svg .
                        Nevertheless vector images and inkscape can be a pain.

                        Are the other systems looking good on windows ?

                          The Windows version I set up only had SEGA Genesis and Super Mario War which looked OK.

                            @benmclean are you running retropie on windows or is it just emulationstation ?

                            You can't beat the classics(unless you copy them).

                              It was just the emulationstation portable build for Windows provided in the tutorial of how to make your own themes.

                                The hold-up at this point is the controller.svg. I'm going to try a few different things to decide what looks best before submitting the PR.

                                I might also want to do TIC-80 and LowRes NX soon-ish.

                                  @benmclean lr-tic80 has now been merged to Retropie-Setup so having a TIC-80 icon would be great! TIC-80 already has icons in the Cygnus Blue Flames theme, so it'd be good to have on Carbon as well.

                                    PICO-8 has been merged too ;-)

                                    @dmmarti can you add this information in your first post ?

                                    Lowres-nx should be the next one.

                                          Some quick notes: I got in touch with the LowRes NX guy via email to get his vector artwork and also have discovered that TIC-80 uses this font.
