        @lilbud So i'm running version 2.2.1RP now and still nothing. Isn't that just a thing with the videoscreensaver? I'm not using videos, so that might be the problem. IDK

            This might not be the right place to post this. But I dont know how to install this.
            I extracted the folder to configs\all\emulationstation\themes
            and in there now is a folder called es-theme-switch-light-master. But when I select the theme all I see is the grey background. No picture box for the consoles or new icons =/

                      I figured it out, i had to reconfigure my controller.
                      Oh and you don't need to create a new image without X = Random or B = Back anymore (at least not for me). I just took your systembg and removed the Buttons, inserted the default helpsystem and used it in a Theme i made before for myself. I was never really happy with it because i couldn't find a good background. Interessting that your simple background was so fitting. And i really like that there is no systemlogo on detailed view so i adapted that too. So thanks again for inspiring me to do some work!

                            Interesting that your simple background was so fitting.

                            That was kind of the point of this theme, the simpler background allows me to make changes very quickly. It can also be colored in the theme.xml to any hex color.

                              @lilbud nice. How do i remove the white strip out of my theme? I notice all these new themes no longer have them.

                                        @edmaul69 It should have been fixed with the newest update, actually, the custom carousel was added a few updates ago.

                                            @EctoOne thank you. that was the edit i needed to make to my theme. now the problem i have is it made my system icons really really puny and not vertically centered. they all sit at the bottom of the carousal.
