        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 =/

                  @EctoOne Strange, It works on my pi, and I updated from source yesterday.

                  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!

                        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.

                                          hi guys,

                                          I tried using the switch theme but its not displaying properly. I extracted it to its correct location in the themes folder however when I select it in Emulation Station (latest version for windows). It doesn't appear as it's supposed to. Here are some photos:

                                          http://i64.tinypic.com/25pu9h4.jpg
                                          http://i68.tinypic.com/2qtycdu.jpg

                                          All I see is a plain white background and the system names in text format.

                                          How do I resolve the issue please?

                                            @makaveeti i guess you need to update Emulation Station. Switch has some features which aren't included in older ES versions.
