If the folder is empty then skip this step.\n- In another window open the downloaded repo and go to 📂 `RetroArch/icon themes/` then select which icon pack you wish to use.\n  - sysdaite Preview [^sysdaite]\n- Copy the images from the icon theme you selected into 📂 `[RetroArch Root]/assets/xmb/custom` folder.\n- Launch RetroArch go to `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Appearance`.\n- Scroll down further to `Icon Theme` and select the `custom` option.\n\n[^sysdaite]: sysdaite Preview ![sysdaite image](https://github.com/senkawolf/Senkas-Retroarch-Setup/blob/main/media/screenshots/sysdaite.png?raw=true)\n\n![---](https://github.com/senkawolf/Senkas-Retroarch-Setup/blob/main/media/line.png?raw=true)\n\n## ⚙️ Configuration\n\nChange the following settings to get the cleanest look to suit the icon and wallpaper packs.\n\n**Key: ${\\color{lightgreen}On/Change}$ / ${\\color{yellow}Optional}$ / ${\\color{red}Off}$**\n\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Show Advanced Settings` ${\\color{lightgreen}On}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Menu` ${\\color{lightgreen}XMB}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Appearance \u003e Show Scale Factor` ${\\color{lightgreen}1.00x}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Appearance \u003e Background Apacity` ${\\color{lightgreen}1.000}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Appearance \u003e Dynamic Background` ${\\color{lightgreen}On}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Appearance \u003e Icon Theme` ${\\color{lightgreen}custom}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Appearance \u003e Primary Thumbnail` ${\\color{red}Off}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Appearance \u003e Secondary Thumbnail` ${\\color{lightgreen}Boxart}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Appearance \u003e Show Title Header` ${\\color{red}Off}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Appearance \u003e Title Margin` ${\\color{lightgreen}0}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Menu Item Visibility \u003e Show History` ${\\color{red}Off}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Menu Item Visibility \u003e Show Images` ${\\color{red}Off}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Menu Item Visibility \u003e Show Music` ${\\color{red}Off}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Menu Item Visibility \u003e Show Videos` ${\\color{red}Off}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Menu Item Visibility \u003e Show Netplay` ${\\color{red}Off}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Menu Item Visibility \u003e Show Contentless Cores` ${\\color{red}Off}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Menu Item Visibility \u003e Show Explore` ${\\color{red}Off}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Menu Item Visibility \u003e Style of Date and Time` ${\\color{yellow}DD/MM/YYYY HH:MM}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Menu Item Visibility \u003e Date Separator` ${\\color{lightgreen}/}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Menu Item Visibility \u003e Show Core Name` ${\\color{red}Off}$\n1. `Settings \u003e User Interface \u003e Menu Item Visibility \u003e Show Menu Sub-labels` ${\\color{red}Off}$\n1. `Settings \u003e Playlists \u003e Manage Playlists`\n   - Go through every playlist and change `Label Display Mode` to ${\\color{lightgreen}Remove\\space ()\\space and\\space [] }$\n\n![---](https://github.com/senkawolf/Senkas-Retroarch-Setup/blob/main/media/line.png?raw=true)\n\n## 📋 Playlist Organisation\nRetroArch playlists are ordered alphanumerically by default. To change them you just need to rename the playlists found in 📂 `[RetroArch Root]/playlists/`. Below are some examples of how you could organise your playlists.\n\n\u003e [!WARNING]\n\u003e If you rename playlists and use dynamic wallpapers, you need to update the image names to match the new playlist names.\n\n### Year of Release Method\nRenaming your playlist to have the year of release at the begining will organise it by the date.\n\n\u003e [!NOTE]\n\u003e Japan, North America, Europe and Australasia have some variation for when a device was released. My release years are based on Europe.\n\nE.g.\n- `1990 - Nintendo - Game Boy.lpl`\n- `1995 - Sony - PlayStation.lpl`\n- `1998 - Nintendo - Game Boy Color.lpl`\n- `2001 - Nintendo - Game Boy Advance.lpl`\n- `2002 - Nintendo - GameCube.lpl`\n- `2005 - Sony - PlayStation Portable.lpl`\n\n### Type (Console/Handheld) - Manufacturer - Release Year Method\nYou could go a step further and organise by the type of device followed by the manufacturer and year. Using the table below to abbreviate you can end up with some of the examples.\n\n|         Abbreviation       |                         Description                         |\n|:--------------------------:|:-----------------------------------------------------------:|\n| H                          | Handheld                                                    |\n| C                          | Console                                                     |\n| SEG                        | Sega                                                        |\n| NIN                        | Nintendo                                                    |\n| SON                        | Sony                                                        |\n| MIC                        | Microsoft                                                        |\n\nE.g.\n- `CNIN2002 - Nintendo - GameCube.lpl`\n- `CSON1995 - Sony - PlayStation.lpl`\n- `HNIN1990 - Nintendo - Game Boy.lpl`\n- `HNIN1998 - Nintendo - Game Boy Color.lpl`\n- `HNIN2001 - Nintendo - Game Boy Advance.lpl`\n- `HSON2005 - Sony - PlayStation Portable.lpl`\n\n![---](https://github.com/senkawolf/Senkas-Retroarch-Setup/blob/main/media/line.png?raw=true)\n\n## 💜 Credit\n- shakabello wallpaper pack - A combincation of [lipebello](https://github.com/lipebello/Retroarch-XMB-Retrorama-Theme) and [Shakalakka's](https://archive.org/details/shakalakka-dynamic-wallpapers) wallpaper packs.\n- sysdaite icon pack - This is a combination of the default systematic and daite icons packs.\n\n![---](https://github.com/senkawolf/Senkas-Retroarch-Setup/blob/main/media/line.png?raw=true)","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FSenkaWolf%2FSenkas-Retroarch-Setup","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2FSenkaWolf%2FSenkas-Retroarch-Setup","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2FSenkaWolf%2FSenkas-Retroarch-Setup/lists"}
