Spare

Theme for Emulationstation and RetroPie

##About

I wanted to make a tutorial for how to make a theme, so I needed to create a simple theme. This theme is it.

Spare is a simple clean theme used to show people the basics of theme creation for Emulationstation and RetroPie.

This theme is based loosely on the default Carbon theme by Eric Hettervik (Rookervik), but all the XML was created from scratch.

##Artwork

  • All Logo graphics are from the default Carbom theme made by Eric Hettervik.
  • All screenshot artwork owned be their respective owners.

##Notes

  • This theme has not been tested with a 4/3 ratio. You may come across some ugliness with the metadata on the Detailed view.
  • This theme probably won't look very good on smaller screens (such as hand-helds) due to the amount of content on the Detailed View.
  • There is also space left at the bottom of the metadata area for the Child-Friendly icons, but they are giving me grief, so have left them out for now.
