How do you make a retrobar skin?

[TheDolphinSlayer]

Sorry if this is a dumb question but I 100% cannot figure out how you make these skins. I've looked through the XAML files and I don't see where you can add taskbar textures and stuff, if there is a tutorial please link!

Thank you : D

Me too, I cant understand but I think that you must select the right color gradient to everything expect the start button.

I wrote this guide for Cairo, and RetroBar uses the same theming principles as it. Hopefully that can provide a good starting point for you. The primary difference between the Cairo guide and RetroBar is going to be the resource keys, but you can see all of those in the RetroBar existing XAML theme files.

Is there a way to make themes with PNG, BMP or any image file for all the textures, not just the start button?, I can make an xaml to point to these resources but id rather make images as the textures

vector graphics are better, because they scale with all resolutions and has no Data loss.
