You could extract them from any of the builds on the Libretro server. But that’s probably more painful than simply downloading the ZIP file from the GitHub RetroArch Assets repository. You can find the PNG files in the /xmb directory and the SVG files in the /src/xmb directory.
GitHub is where we store all the source code for the project, including all the icons.
I just wanted to let you know that NeoActive and RetroActive themes have officially been retired from Retroarch. RetroActive has been merged with FlatUI to become the FlatUX theme, which should be available in an upcoming release.
If you still want to use these themes, they are archived over on baxy-retroarch-themes. You can download them and install them as a custom theme.
If you want to take over development for Retroactive or Neoactive, you are welcome to fork the repo and start contributing.
I was surprised that RetroActive was removed. It was my favorite XMB theme.
It was mentioned in the PR that you feel FlatUX replaces it, but I think they are very different. Here’s a screenshot of the most popular consoles for reference:

RetroActive was more colorful, “fun” and closer to the real-life colors. FlatUX has a very different feeling. It’s more muted and does not feel like it serves as a replacement IMO.
I understand that it’s a lot of work to maintain many themes, but does leaving a static theme with no updates that much trouble? Even if it has a few missing icons. I can understand if this is a space limitation, though.
I guess I can keep using RetroActive, doing a custom theme, but most RetroArch users will just not even know the theme exists and I can’t help but feel like it’s a downgrade.
Just wanted to leave my 2 cents.
Regardless, thank you so much for the hard work of maintaining these awesome themes!
Sorry for the double-post, but for any RetroActive fans that might be reading this, I have found out that 2 other themes have console/controller icons similar to the ones that RetroActive had.
Those are the “Daite” and “Systematic” themes. Give them a try.
I think I might use Daite as a replacement for RetroActive.
