Futura V and Futura dark V are fixed.
The gamelist should be fine now with ES 2.3.2RP. Just try to update through the RetroPie menu (esthemes) and you should be good.
Keep me posted.....

Love this theme, much prefer it to AM. Would love to see an update that includes TG16CD, Amigacd32, and Maybe pixel desktop. Only ones I'm missing. Is there a way to easily switch between showing the video clip or the box art in the system menu? Great work. Thanks!

edit: I just realized that you already added support for TG16CD, but mines not showing up, just plain text. I guess something somewhere is not named correctly on my end? Advice?

edit 2: sorry, I'm a noob. So using winscp the futura theme folder is labeled tg-cd while my rom folder is tg16cd. I am unable to change the theme folder (permissions)and if I change the name of my rom folder to match it, the system(tg16cd) disappears from ES.

Just not sure what path and file to change.

Amigacd32, and Maybe pixel desktop

As stated in the first post of this topic I am currently not adding any new systems due to lack of time or at least till I get my RPi up and running as it should. As soon I am done with it I will add what ever system is requested.
Curious though what is Pixel desktop?

Just not sure what path and file to change.

I would recommend to access your RPi via FTP and get access to the following folder structure.

/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation

In there create a file named es_system.cfg or copy and paste the one from this folder

/etc/emulationstation

once you have the es_system.cfg file inside the /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation folder open it with a text editor like Notepad++ and search for that tg16cd system. If it is not in there you'll have to add it manually.
If it is already in there change the theme tag to something like this

 <theme>tg-cd</theme>

I am sure there is a way to do all this via command prompt in Linux but I lack the understanding and skills to do that. I do most changes via FTP and SSH (Putty).
