          I know how to do that, but how do I select one out of the slideshow? Do I have to use a keyboard if I'm using the keyboard?

            Retropie system menu-> ES Themes

            Pick one from the list.

                You should also be able to use an attached controller if it's supported.

                  I am running the PiGRRL 2.0 setup. I am able to scroll through all of the options, but I don't know what button I'm supposed to press to apply the theme.

                    Have you tried all the available buttons?

                      The d-pad, all of the letter buttons, and even the shoulder buttons, yes.

                        @pandamkii Use the same button you select games with.

                          Ah, so the buttons register as keyboard input. You'll need to use the 'enter' key then by whatever means you're able.

                            I am, it ain't budging. I've got a lead, though: When I press the y button, it says, "...readonly mode, sorry..." the sides are cut off and I'm not able to read the entire thing.

                              When you back out of the gallery, is there a menu to select the themes from a text list?
