In Progress preview. Still working on smooth scrolling and setting menu. Then lots of cleanup.

So quick update. Still cleaning up code. Need to add some menu flags to turn it on and off as well as a selection for type of icon(right now just logos). Need to dive deeper into the net code to see how thumbnails are download as these are mostly treated as a new type of thumbnail. Right now the art is stored in the thumbnail directory, same directory structure, just in named_logo. Could use help collecting logo art. I have mostly just skimmed some art off of Launchbox’s database for the games I have. Max size should be 512 x 512 to reduce the space consumed on the hard drive. Larger sizes still work as all images are resized down on screen. When presented they are just under 256 or almost double the regular icon size.

This change is now part of the main repo on GitHub. Pull down the latest and you will be able to add art to the thumbnails directory. The file naming follows the same guidelines as other thumbnails. Stick to smaller images like just the logo or maybe a marquis image. Feedback or any issues is appreciated. Enjoy

Hi, OUTSTANDING upgrade to the main layout displaying the content man. I’m loving it so far. I don’t know if it’s the specific branch that I’ve downloaded (1.19.1_2024-10-5) but the margin of the non-selected logos is “centered” just in the middle of the left vertical axis of the playlist column, or in other words, the margin between the icon and the title is way to long. Is there any way to get fixed?.
I can see in your screenshot that you don’t have this issue, or not so noticeable.
I will attach an image to clarify what I mean.
Mayble a posible fix
One more thing, it is posible to “delete” the title text? I came with a little solution that was inserting “()” in the whole name and then in the playlist option “remove () and[]” but as soon I go to that specific playlist, RA always crash. Is it posible??

@DariusG yes, you have to supply them yourself now. My hope is the community will help populating the image repo eventually.

@Alexxs I will take a look at the margin issue. It is a little bit of a hack to get it centered to look good. I would want it to align correctly for all screen sizes. What is your screen size you are seeing this issue on, I will try to replicate to see if it is a problem? The title text would be something new because you only want that where logo icons are enabled and there is an icon otherwise you would have a generic icon without a title

@TheGrumpyCoder Hi brother! My screen size is 1920x1080 px (16:9 aspect ratio). I tried to force a better margin just with some design tweaks but no matter how many “empty space” I leave in the icon, I get the same result.
I get what you mean about the text’s game names. Was something that I didn’t think about it until you give us the chance to have the title logo. So I was thinking… that it would be a cool minimalistic view to have just the game logo’s without text. But that’s another story.
Let me know if I can help you with anything, testing or some graphic design sheet.
Another MEGA MINOR issue is that the logo content icon will not being displayed when is “&” character in the game name. Replacing it for “and” instead “&” in both entries fix the issue though.
Hi what theme is it? I love it so much!

Hi! It’s my personal project, the console’s icons, wallpapers are all made from scratch by me. Every playlist has a dedicated wallpaper.
guys I created the Named_Logos folder in thumbnails/Nintendo - Game Boy I inserted the png file but once inside retroarch I always see the cartridge logo and not the custom logo… what am I doing wrong??
Did you put in User Interface > Appearance > Playlist Icons = “Content Logo”?. Also make sure that the pngs are named exactly as the entry in the games.
That might change slightly. There’s a possibility to just support Named_Logos directly in RA and the RA thumbnail repository, like all the other artwork. See this PR.
You need to replace the following characters in filenames with a _ according to the docs here.
&*/:`<>?\|"
in user interface/appearance I don’t have playlist icons but icon theme, primary thumbnail and secondary thumbnail
That means that you don’t have installed the updated version. Download the latest branch of Retroarch.
Ok thanks 
I didn’t understand that nightly was needed! now everything is ok… I put the cartridges instead of the logos and it’s very nice… but when I pass over the titles the icon enlarges and covers some things… is there a way to not enlarge the logos when I pass over them?
