      @meleu sorry i meant that enable disable. Yes it was in the gamelist.xml. Not sure why it didnt show up. I think the reinstall didnt work the first few times is i think i accidently logged into the pi as root instead of pi. Is there a reason that it wont recognize an icon? Ive changed all the rpi menu icons just fine but cant get that one to recognize one. Since my appleskin2 theme has a black background i just put the joystick select icon on the icon background .png and then any of the icons that werent big enough to cover it i just put a bigger black border around them.

        @edmaul69 the RetroPie-joystick-select have no icon. @lilbud made an icon that I liked, but the d-pad and buttons "color" is transparent... I didn't added it in the joystick-selection repository.

        Example:
        2_1470954975405_Tela copiada como 2016-08-11 19-00-28.png

        Can you show me the icon you are using?

          @meleu i have added added a path to the icon for joystick selection but it wont load any pic i link it to. worked great for all the other menu list icons. so what i did was to put my joystick selection picture on my icon background image. then when all the other pics show up they cover up the joystick selection pic. i have a pi modded apple iie so these are for my "appleskin2" theme. the pics look tall and skinnny because they have to be put in a 2:3 ratio(2 pixels x 3 pixels) because for whatever unknown reason to me emulationstation squishes the pics. but when these are displayed, they are square. these are all my icons and my icon background pic:

            @edmaul69 did you edit the retropiemenu gamelist.xml?

            specifically in this part:

            	<game>
            		<path>./joystick_selection.sh</path>
            		<name>Joystick Selection</name>
            		<desc>Select which joystick to use for RetroArch players 1-4 (global or system specific).</desc>
            		<image>/path/to/your/customized/icon.png</image>
            	</game>

              @meleu yes. that is how i changed all the other icons. however it does not work for me for the joystick selection. i tried several different pics that i used for the others and nothing. is there a certain format it is supposed to be? all mine are done in .png which works for all the others

                    @edmaul69 I change using the <image>. Don't know why it isn't working for you...
                    BTW: Where can I find your themes?

                      @meleu i havent posted anything here. I am almost done with my appleskin2 theme but i dont know how to upload it to anywhere. And i cant use the only site that i successfully could post links to zip files because i had amazon refund my money because they charged me $14.99 instead of $.99. I made a theme based off of the simple thing but it is too much and gets a white screen after about 10 systems. My game related theme is a very huge undertaking and i went on a hiatus after spending countless hours on it. I will get back to it soon though. Too many projects i have been working on lately. And themes take a long time if you get really detailed if you are a pixel artist. Its takes time working a pixel at a time. I cut and paste as much as possible but its still a lot of work.
