First, great theme. The artwork is fantastic.

I'm doing the logo switching for Genesis and TG16, described here...
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Genesis-Megadrive

My code looks like:

megadrive_theme = "genesis"
megadrive_platform = "genesis"

pcengine_theme = "tg16"
pcengine_platform = "tg16"  // with and without this line

The MD to Genesis art swap works perfectly.
The TG16 logo loads, but no console art appears.

@HerbFargus Can I improve the readme file? These are my suggestions:

1. Use markdown for it (nice to read as text file, but will render as HTML in GitHub)
2. Point to the dark and optimized variations branches.
3. Move license.txt to a separate file but keep it a License section linking to it (it's a good practice keep License mentioned in the Readme and as a separate file).

If you agree with above points, I'll submit this as a PR so you can evaluate it.

I've been meaning to do this but lack the free time and motivation, but if someone gets to it before me I'd be happy to merge.

Good day.
I'm russian and english is not my native language, so... :)
In ES main menu "Recent" (Last played) menu w/o background. And when I enter into recent I see like "no css". You understand, I hope.

Can I fix it myself? Or?

Hi @HerbFargus and thanks for this AWESOME theme.

I like the ES simple themes too, the only difference is I prefer the simple dark.

So, I've create locally in my machine this variation and was thinking how you can keep this in you repo (if you want, of course). Maybe in a branch and later publish releases for both? (If yes, I can create the PR).

Side note: I've noticed that on a pi3 the full HD images are a bit heavy (ES suffers a very small hiccup during the platform transition effect). I've reduced the images to 1280x720 and they're still nice in a 1080p LED display, but now the transition effect is very smooth. Not sure if you want use this too.

Some platforms, like NES, have a proper bright text color in the ES platform selector menu.

Others, like MegaDrive/Genesis, NeoGeo, SNES, are presenting a dark color in a dark background.

Hi!

Just found your es-theme. Great work!
I have marquees for all my games and tronkyfran is not displaying them properly. They are behind the header bar. What about removing the system name, moving the system logo to the right and leave the upper left of the screen to the marquee ("md_marquee")?

Thanks!

So I got a scrapped Dreamcast gamelist (artwork, video, description) thats work perfect with other themes, unfortunately in tronkyfran it only shows the game names... basically it acts like there is no gamelist.xml for it.

PS: other systems have no problems

I'll take the same Sega Saturn approach: a real high quality picture with some angle + zoom + gradient blur + radial background color.

Wondering if it's worth ask Tronkyfran to create one.

Really like your theme, is there an option or a way to change the gamelist view and to not show the metadata and text just a bigger box art image instead? Thanks.

I know that for some this is trivial, but I got asked several times how themes can be installed.

I'm thinking to include:

• "manual" instructions (using wget, suitable for desktop)
• git instructions (suitable for retropie, so user can update just running a git pull)

Additionally I'm thinking to:

• move the credits to a Credits section (still in the README file)
• move the CHANGELOG to a CHANGELOG.txt file (to remove some pollution)
• and if you @HerbFargus allow, include myself in the Credits section too

Hi! I adore this theme and have made it my default theme. One question though- is there a way to make the metadata lines on the RetroPie screen in visible and recenter/enlarge the menu images? I don't need to know the rating for Audio or Bluetooth, and I'm not concerned about the publisher for Configuration Editor or ES Themes. ;-) Thanks very much! This theme absolutely enhances my RetroPie experience.

Would you update your themes with pokemon mini, please

Hi,

Just went through a Retropie build using your theme and couldn't get the TurboGrafx 16 artwork to show up no matter what. After digging around I looked into your .xml file in the TG16 folder and found a typo on line 8 where it says:

		<path>./art/tgc16_art_blur.jpg</path>

whereas it should say:

		<path>./art/tg16_art_blur.jpg</path>

After making that change I reloaded the theme and everything comes up as it should.

Thank you for your time! I love the theme, btw. It's my go-to from here on out.

May be we could expect update of tronkyfran in the future to support these platforms ? ;)

Can i request to add the favorites, last played and all games to variatons (optimized and dark)

Hi,

I noticed that the TRS-80 is missing from the theme.

Thanks,

@HerbFargus actually we're relying on Simple or Dark themes to display the nice 3D models.

In the last months, I've been working in an original theme, with big space for gamebox arts, etc.

If you think this will fit here in this repo, I can paste some screenshots.

To fix:

• mimic the simple config

Additionally:

• bump version (as info text as fixed)
• put proper comments in the single.xml to make clear is this just not single, it's tronkyfran too.

I'm playing a bit with Yabause retroarch module and my favorite game (Guardian Heroes) is working fine in the desktop.

So, I've created an initial idea for a SS blur art.
