Switch Theme 3.0 (UPDATED 08/12/18)

@mitu
Yes ... it works.
Therefore I kindly ask for permission to fork.

But on my second "test" system is a 7" DSI display with BATOCERA on it. And there the theme lacks. I've reenabled the help system and need to set bottom and top lines.

No worries - RetroPie is still my main system ;)

Adolfo

I know this may sound dumb, but how do switch to the dark theme?

mitu

@Adolfo Re-read the first post - you need to edit the theme.xml file.

Adolfo

@mitu I opened the theme.xml file but don't know what to edit exactly.

lilbud

@Adolfo where it says "light.xml", change that to say "dark.xml"

Adolfo

@lilbud that's what I tried looking for but I don't find a line that says that. I'm using notepad++ and tried searching for it and didn't find it that way either.

lilbud

@Adolfo It's near the top, right under the contact info

@Wolverine1977 That would be awesome, I find it's best for a CRT-Screen only to have the Games list and a BigImage.

@Global-Moderators Please delete this

mitu

@dugo3number2 ports is already included in the theme.

Hello,

I like this theme very well, very good work.
is it possible to choose a background picture instead of just one color?

lilbud

@Gremko I guess so. You'd have to heavily modify the theme to do so though.

dugo3number2

@mitu can you remove this plz

dugo3number2

@lilbud Bug report: The buttons aren't showing regardless of what theme you are using

lilbud

@dugo3number2 any errors or anything in the es log txt?

Gremko

@dugo3number2 is only if Xbox Buttons are set, go with Playstation Buttons, at least for me.

dugo3number2

@lilbud No, nothing. @Gremko I will try PS buttons, although I have an Xbox controller.

dugo3number2

Update: @Gremko It worked with PS buttons. @lilbud It is just the main menu that is affected.

lilbud

@dugo3number2 I'll try and look at it on my phone. I'm away from a computer until next week.

Gremko

@dugo3number2 I found the error, it is in the file letters.xml
/opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/themes/switch/settings/letters.xml

replace:
<path> ./../ assets / buttons / Xbox_Buttons_system.svg </ path>

with:
<Path> ./../ assets / buttons / Xbox_Buttons_System.svg </ path>
