Switch Theme

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

lilbud

@edmaul69 Do you mean the carousel?

edmaul69

@lilbud yes

lilbud

@edmaul69 Update EmulationStation

edmaul69

@lilbud i did. I have the new one with black screen. I did it a couple days ago. I am assuming i have to change something in my theme??

lilbud

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

@edmaul69 You can read about it here for example https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/2696/input-needed-es-theming-improvements/181

@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:

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.

I downloaded emulation station (windows version) from the website -

http://www.emulationstation.org/#download

which was last updated 3/8/15

is there a link to the latest version?

lilbud

@makaveeti update from retropie setup

@lilbud i'm using the windows version only. Does version 4.2 exist for the windows platform?

I don't have a raspberry Pi. I tried installing it using Ubuntu on VMware but was unsuccessful. The installation hangs after a while :/

@makaveeti

@jdrassa has a Windows build you might wanna check out

makaveeti

@lilbud thanks very much dude. the theme now works :)

@lilbud hey man, you're theme looks great in my setup of emustation.

Can I ask if you have ported the switch dark theme to work with RetroFE?

lilbud
