      @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://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.

                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 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 :/

                            @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?

                                      This is a very nice theme! However, is it possible to add a Game and Watch tile to the theme, please?

                                            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.
