How complex are themes allowed to be ? Does the .xml allow for some pretty elaborate themes, or do they have to stay basic and simple ? I am looking to make a theme similar to this:

although im not expacting the moving animations and all that stuff to function, I am hoping to achieve the same visual style as far as hovering over a game, showing text on the screen, and boxes around the on-screen games individually.

As far as I know the basic layout is fixed and not possible to modify with just the .xml themes. You could ask the creator of ES front end, Aloshi if it’s possible to modify this, here’s his site: http://aloshi.com/emulationstation

Yes, I emailed him this morning and got a response, thank you for your timely response.

Cool, what did he suggest out of interest?

He said that he is currently working on a version that’s a little more flexible, but he didn’t want the themeing engine to be a scripting language so it wont be very extravagant.
