      I like the default Recalbox theme, but I'd like to replace the background of the main menu with some custom pixel art I made.

      How can I do this?

          @Brandon-Winston All you would have to do is replace the background art for controllers/console with your work and set the region in the configuration file for the recalbox theme. I think you have to convert images to .SVG file type. I used a free trial of Vector magic to do this as this was the easiest way. Hope this helps

            I'd like to stress one major point : ES may blowup if you use too many high def custom backgrounds as the RAM is quite limited on Pi
