Thanks!!
I would love to have the original picture to edit it and improve it tough since the internal borders are very uneven and the screen does not looks like it belongs in the “frame”.
I’ll see if I can do something with it anyway, can you please point to the topic or user that shared it?
You are great @Kondorito THANK YOU!!!
I’ll get to work on this in order to prepare a couple of overlays to use with older cores like Atari !

Dear friend do not worry, the most important thing is that thanks to you and kondorito we now have the image we were looking for 
Do you need any special resolution for me to consider when doing the overlay?
Cheers!

I would love to see a 1080p version 
As someone who grew up with a gray flat-screen CRT in his living room, the Trinitron overlay’s gonna give me quite the nostalgia trip (even though my TV was from Panasonic). Just one question: how do I install it? I’m kinda new to RetroArch (I’ve already downloaded the zip file, but I’m not sure what to do next).
1680x1050 resolution.
Done!
You can check OP, but the download link for 1680x1050 is [this one]

I edited the first post with the designs and among them you will find the Classic 80’s CRT 
All the overlays are created for 1080p since that’s the max. resolution my monitor and Tv have, but I think they can be used for bigger resolutions anyway, enjoy!

Nice Exodus thanks, check pm i have question for you.
Just extract its content (should be an image and its config file named the same) anywhere you want.
Then in Retroarch, once you loaded the game you want to have that overlay shown, go to the Retroarch quick menu with F1, then press the back button to get to the main menu, scroll to the left to the Settings and surf down until you reach the Onscreen Overlay option. There you look for the cfg file in the folder you extracted.
Remember to set the opacity to 1.0 and if the game screen goes besides the overlay, to go in the Video section and play either with the position and size of the screen, or with the integer sacale.
Happy tweaking!
Alright, thanks for the info! I’ve applied the Trinitron filter and am currently trying to scale down the video size to fit.
Quick question though: what video settings would you best recommend for these overlays?
If you take a look at exodus first post, the coordinates as well as the recommended shaders are there for each overlay. In the end it is all a matter of personal taste. I had a phase of pumping up HD super colorful graphics, a phase of curved CRT, and now I am currently in the flat CRT stage.

I had the HD super colorful graphics phase, I jumped the curved CRT (although I tried just to see if I got used to it) and I’m in the same flat CRT stage as you.
Yeah, in the end it will depend on your personal experience as you got older. In my case was something like this:
From 10 to 13 years old: Sony trinitron 13’ similar to 80’s style TV up there (Atari 2600 and NES) From 14 to 20 years old: Classic CRT 21’ (curved) (GENESIS, SEGA CD and some SNES) From 21 to 24 years old: Sony Wega 21’ (SNES and PSX) From 25 to 26 years old: Flat Samsung 29’ (PSX, PS2 and DC) 27 'till now: LCD’s and LED’s 16:9
So I’m tweaking every system in Retroarch to their correspondent TV (overlay + shader) according to my experience
