      I would like to keep my vertical wheel carousel aligned to the left of the screen but instead of displaying 5 system logos I would rather only display 3. When I attempt to modify the maxlogocount tag nothing changes. Here is the carousel section of theme.xml

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
      <theme>
      <formatVersion>4</formatVersion>

      <feature supported="carousel">
      <view name="system">
      <carousel name="systemcarousel">
      <type>vertical_wheel</type>
      <pos>-0.04 0.020</pos>
      <size>0.300 0.95</size>
      <logoScale>1.4</logoScale>
      <logoSize>0.15 0.180</logoSize>
      <color>00000000</color>
      <maxLogoCount>5</maxLogoCount>
      <logoRotationOrigin>-5 0.5</logoRotationOrigin>
      <logoAlignment>center</logoAlignment>
      </carousel>

        @benjaminjay Are you testing on a raspberry pi or computer? What version of emulationstation are you using?

          @benjaminjay According to the post about Carousel feature, they use a logoRotation field that you seem to be missing in your xml.

          <logoRotation>7.5</logoRotation>

            @HurricaneFan thanks for the reply. I ended up getting it to work by playing around with the numbers and copy/pasting carousel tags from a different theme.xml file. The <maxLogoCount> tag seems to have no effect at all.

              @jdrassa Is there a bug with the logo count field with vertical carousels?

                @HurricaneFan it is not a bug. More of a quick with how the carousel renders. The carousel always renders additional logos beyond max that are intended to be off screen so that they can slide in when scrolling. This worked great for the standard carousel. When the wheel was added, theme makers have a bunch of options for configuring the wheel. Unfortunately this comes with the side effect that if not done properly, more logos can appear than intended. Generally, there should be an ideal combination of logo rotation and rotation origin that should give the desired results.
