Carbon8 is an EmulationStation version 4 compatible theme, making it ideal for low-powered systems using RetroPie or ArkOS, as well as the PlayStation Classic.
Do you love the carbon theme, but have trouble discerning a system based on its logo or controller? Have you wondered whether Game Gear should be sorted with the Gs, for Game, or the Ss, for Sega? This theme was designed to address those issues. Instead of displaying the system's controller, it instead displays the system's fullname from your es_settings.cfg. Only "Released", "Developer", and "Publisher" meta data is utilized.

Eight is the number of bits in a character. For systems, Carbon8 uses characters instead of controller images.
Copy your font to /etc/emulationstation/themes/carbon8/art folder. For the gamelist text, rename the original font "Cabin-Bold.ttf" to "Cabin-Bold.ttf.bak" and then rename your font to "Cabin-Bold.ttf". For the system text, rename the original font "Akrobat-Bold.otf" to "Akrobat-Bold.otf.bak" and then rename your font to "Akrobat-Bold.otf".
To change the colors open colors.xml with a text editor. Find all occurances of "8b0000" and replace them with your chosen color.
To change the sound effect, replace /art/scroll.wav with what ever WAV file you would like.
