Switch Theme
-
@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:

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?
-
@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 :/
-
@jdrassa has a Windows build you might wanna check out
-
@lilbud thanks very much dude. the theme now works :)
-
Never mind
-
@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?
-
@makaveeti Never heard of it
-
Oh my lord this looks NICE!
Will all you creative people out there stop giving me choices! Too many good themes haha

This is a very nice theme! However, is it possible to add a Game and Watch tile to the theme, please?
-
@goombakid yeah, I'll get to that a little later
-
@lilbud I AM FINISHED ALL OF MY FINAL TESTS!

RetroFE is a very simple windows based front end similar to emulation station. I think it supports other platforms too. You should make the switch dark theme for RetroFE too. I would defo appreciate it as your theme is the best one in my opinion.
