      @meleu I think you can reuse the convert parameters on linux as well. We should only consider if carbon_fiber or just a black color should be used as background. It reduces the filesize by ~50%.

      edit: If you want you can also contribute your script to my repo with your credits. Then we have all at one place.

        The logos need to be raised a little to balance out the image. It's too heavy on the bottom as they are. Otherwise looks good enough :D

          @daeks can you submit a Pull Request to https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-carbon with your game cube logo with white leters?

            @Rookervik They are only autogenerated. I have moved them a bit. Does it look better now?

            @meleu Think that is not possible as my image is just a modified png. The theme requires a svg file, but the png is also attached to my repo.

              If you need the Gamecube SVG with white text, it's here.

                Once you've defined the "standard template" for the system splashscreens I'll create the same for the additional systems/logos in the Custom SVG Logo Pack.

                  @daeks My intention with my script is to let the users create the launching files only for the systems they have installed on their own raspi with no need of any further image manipulation with GIMP, Photoshop or something similar.

                  The script are ready, but unfortunately the results aren't cool for every system.

                  Look at the fba one:

                  0_1483720575746_launching.png

                  EDIT: other not fine result was for sega 32x:

                    @meleu yeah you need to resize them. svg will be resized during conversation in my script:

                    "%ICONVERT%" -background none -resize "x235>" -resize "600x>" "%%G" "%%~dpG%%~nG.png"

                    check my fba

                    alt text

                      @daeks great! thanks!
                      There must be some way to detect the dimensions of a file and then resize it to a proper size if it's too big. I'll study more about ImageMagick later. Or if you already know these kind of tricks, please share with us! ;-)

                        @meleu resize "x235 > " -resize "600x > " - the ">" does the trick. It resizes only if the dimension width x heigth is bigger than. So if the image heigth is > 235px or the width > 600px resize it to 235px heigth or/and 600px width. Also checkout my latest changes regarding the positioning of the image / text.

                          Thanks, I'll implement it on my script and release it soon!

                              @daeks I also submitted a PR with this image to the carbon theme repository: https://github.com/RetroPie/es-theme-carbon/pull/23

                              I think my script is pretty usable now (after the @daeks tips):

                                @meleu looks nice, dont know if you have missed it, but the params on L58, L61, L65 differs regarding the positioning of the image/text. :)

                                  You mean vertically, right? I noticed it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge here!

                                  Feel free to add the script on your repository. I'm used to use "Public Domain" license on my scripts. :-)

                                    I have moved my images to a zip file ready for installation: https://github.com/daeks/retropie-system-splashscreens-carbon/releases

                                    @meleu yes, correct.

                                      Hehe, graphic changes for Carbon must be reviewed by the devs. I can't even change things in Carbon and I made it. So pull requests to change graphics are a little bold.

                                        @meleu Just made a new game runcommand splashscreen.

                                        alt text .

                                        Part of the new Burning Force Artwork pack.

                                          My PR doesn't change the game cube system.svg, it just adds a system2.svg with white letters. ;-)

                                            Also updated my script just to make it more robust and warning the user about the images that were not created (e.g.: trs-80 directory name from /opt/retropie/configs/ differs from /etc/emulationstation/themes/carbon/).
