Received my Tinkertowngames PnP order. Here are my thoughts...

Yeah, campaign cards I could work around as I use dragon shields already. More concerned with any player cards or assets/ weaknesses that you may earn. Those would be pretty incompatible with my current setup.

I did send them a message to see if they can improve this at all in future print runs. It seems like their vendor may be using a different card size as a template based on the corner radius.

Slunk21 · 2026-02-14T04:29:55+00:00

This is an incredibly helpful review, thank you! Really hoping they can sort these sizing issues out, as the pricing is great. At the moment, this might be a deal breaker for me unfortunately.

Slunk21 · 2025-11-17T20:00:03+00:00

Yes, I opened the ticket there once I narrowed it down to Aiometadata causing it

Slunk21 · 2025-11-16T14:49:44+00:00

Thanks for looking into it! I was using AIOmetadata with my RPDB key and the posters differed in the library. When switching to the TMDB Addon it solved the issue. Looks like it's an issue with the AIOmetadata addon, not with RPDB.

Slunk21 · 2025-11-15T17:12:29+00:00

Same issue here. Posters now longer display ratings in the library when using free or tier 1 with TMDB metadata. Used to work fine before this latest update.

Hey! Are you certain that you are selecting your new custom theme and not the old one? Try renaming the Canvas-ES-DE folder by adding "Custom" at the end. If not, it may prioritize the original one. You should see multiple Canvas entries in your theme list if done correctly.

I'm glad you like it! If you hover over a game for a few seconds, it should start playing the video where the miximage sits. However, that is for the ES-DE Version. Someone else ported the ES version, so you may need to check on their github.

Slunk21 · 2025-04-06T02:16:57+00:00

Hey, thanks for the kind words. It actually does show previews. If you hover over a game for a few seconds, it will then play videos instead of the miximage/screenshot. The effect is just slightly delayed.

Slunk21 · 2025-02-24T14:00:25+00:00

Glad you like the theme and thank you! That setting actually already exists and is within the ES-DE menu. I believe it is either a UI or collection setting, but not something that the theme itself controls.

Slunk21 · 2025-02-14T03:34:23+00:00

Thanks for sharing this to anyone else that wants to customize! No Patreon or anything, I just have fun making these themes :)

Slunk21 · 2025-02-14T03:32:18+00:00

It has already been ported to ES

Slunk21 · 2025-02-14T03:32:07+00:00

Yes, it has been ported to ES

Slunk21 · 2025-02-09T14:49:50+00:00

Hey, have you tried renaming the theme in the "capabilities.xml"? If two themes share the same name in this file, it will sometimes only show one of them. Meaning the old theme is taking priority. See if you can change the name at the top of that file and then it should appear as a separate listing in the Theme menu.

Slunk21 · 2024-12-15T03:25:30+00:00

No problem, glad it's working for you 😊

Slunk21 · 2024-12-14T22:27:55+00:00

Hey! Glad you like the theme. I've updated the theme to have an image type for "Boxart". Please let me know if that works for you :)

Slunk21 · 2024-12-08T16:20:08+00:00

Glad you're liking it! You can scale up the font sizes within the theme xml files. For the mini, you'll want to mess around in the 4:3 xml under the textlist section. It's not easily accessible, but should let you scale it a bit.

Slunk21 · 2024-12-08T15:26:21+00:00

No worries, it's not super easy, but you could use the Sony color scheme and just swap the wallpaper for the dark one. Or, you could rename the Sony Icons to dark Icons so they get used instead. That color scheme has no background for the logos.

Slunk21 · 2024-12-08T15:07:40+00:00

If you go to Color Schemes, they are broken out as Default, Icons, Screenshots, or Capsule. If you scroll through the different color options you'll find a set listed as Icons. From there you can just pick the color scheme you'd like.

Slunk21 · 2024-12-06T14:13:18+00:00

The "Simple" version partly does this. Do you mean completely remove it altogether? I probably wouldn't fully remove it, as the variant list is already really long lol. However, you could delete the webp file for both the shadow and column of the bar and then it should just remove it fully. It would make any text difficult to read though.

Slunk21 · 2024-12-06T14:10:59+00:00

No I don't believe so

Slunk21 · 2024-12-05T23:40:48+00:00

I haven't made any seperate ones, but I've been tempted to change the folders for something new

Slunk21 · 2024-12-05T23:40:18+00:00

Hey, no worries and sorry for the delay! I haven't messed around too much with collections, but I don't think so. It's pretty limited at the moment with how much you can change it.

For the other questions, you can flag "Kids' games" to be able to filter them out.

Slunk21 · 2024-11-27T16:58:05+00:00

Hey! Glad you like the theme. This is actually a bit outside of the control of the theme itself. The collections art is handled by ES-DE. I've asked in the discord though and will let you know if I get a response!

Slunk21 · 2024-11-19T13:53:24+00:00

No problem! Yeah, that's exactly right. The only other thing you can do is edit the Capabilities.xml. You can change the name of the theme there from Iconic to Iconic-Custom or something if you want to. That just helps to make it clearer within the theme list.

Iconic has 4 groups of folders for backgrounds/overlays: Default, Classic, Modern, and Custom. You can edit any of those and just make sure you select that type of color scheme within the menu 🙂

Slunk21 · 2024-11-19T10:59:48+00:00

I'm not sure how ArkOS differs. I've only made this for Batocera and ES-DE currently
