        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 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.

                                          I would love to make a RetroFE version, but I can't. It would take too much time to port it over.
