first, I just wanna say i love this theme so much I wanna contribute :)

I learned how to program on this machine when I was 8 so I definitely know how one looks like after many many many late nights with it 😅

the previous photo is their Model III - more of a business computer.

Hi, thanks a lot for your help. I can replace it, no problem, but please use the .PSD Photoshop include in theme has exemple, to add the good shadow under the computer. We must always use the psd files to respect the theme design, thanks :)

oh i think you’re above my pay grade here :)

Ive never used Photoshop in the way you describe [or really at all!] so I’m not really clear what needs to be done. can this be done with open source tools? I’m on Ubuntu.

I’m also looking at the previous image and it would be nice to see what it looked like before as I don’t really see any shadows under the Model III:

All the PSD files are on RVGM-BT-Theme/_Ressources/ I only use it because it is the best software ever of the universe. I'm on Manjaro linux too now, and with wine i can make it working fine for the CS6 version.

RVGM-photo.psd is the one with shadow under the console, i think it can works fine with GIMP. The psd is a little psd file. Like the RVGM-info.psd i've adpted to make it working fine on GIMP too.

The shadow is here : image

I want to all images use the same style, the shadow has a size and an angle etc ...

hey do you have more explicit instructions detailing step by step how to use GIMP to create the effect you request?

I’m happy to do it but still feel a bit lost (my forte is helping the Batocera Linux team with the backend stuff and actual coding!)

EDIT: it's been over a year & wondering if you are willing to merge this pull request and prioritize accuracy over aesthetic short-term?
