Description

First and foremost consider this:

  • Only RetroArch bugs should be filed here. Not core bugs or game bugs
  • This is not a forum or a help section, this is strictly developer oriented

Description

Would it be possible to implement a way of adding our own customized popups for RetroAchievements please?

Expected behavior
  • For example, the ability to have options for: Slide-in from left or right like PS4 trophies, Fade-in like PS5 trophies or Fade-in and Expand like Xbox achievements?
  • Ability to change the look and layout of the RetroAchievements popup eg. fonts, styles, popup box etc
Actual behavior

There is only one default look and animation for RetroAchievements at this time that cannot be changed.

Steps to reproduce the bug

When a RetroAchievement is obtained
