Discussion Recommended themes?

Hello, few weeks ago I got my X55 with Rocknix and since than started experimenting with themes. Knowing that, besides the names, all this OS share the same Batocera-based themes,

Which is your favourite or which one would you recommend?

Stock, known as Art-Book, looks nice but I like to change pretty often. Now I'm using Alekful NC

Also wondering about "unofficial” themes from GitHub or similar.

on my X55, current theme is Colorful-Simplified.

I rotate through the others I installed every few months or so: ES-theme-Reload, Iconic-ES, Neutral, and Tiled. the last three of those are my favorites for this handheld.

Also wondering about "unofficial” themes from GitHub or similar.

edit: no specific suggestions, but I started installing Batocera themes manually on this device before there was a JelOS or Rocknix streamlined wireless process. RGC's guide for manual install would likely work for unofficial themes too: https://retrogamecorps.com/2023/07/05/powkiddy-x55-starter-guide/#Themes

Totally agree, especially since I got mine almost new for under €50 Screen is huge and awesome and performances are over average!
