I was playing around with customizing the Simple theme the other night and kept getting the WSOD, my problem was I was making all of the ES background as full 1080p... downscaling all my backgrounds to 1280x720 fixed it for me, currently have 13 systems and no issues.

@Capeman the issue is fixed if you update retropie.

That's all thanks to @fieldofcows !

Yay soon we can finally remove all mention of it from the Wiki!

@giventofly It's a known very old issue from Emulationstation, it's happens when you have a bit more than 10 systems, and there is an amazing @fieldofcows work in progress and experimental builds for fixing that.
You can use windows version for theming without problems, or download the experimental build here:

It's done and merged into RetroPie. You just have to update to the latest version using the retropie script.

apparently not fixed as the latest post was 12 months ago and any recent installs still seem to have this issue.
