          @Omnija No, I never thought about it and I'm not doing it. Mainly for 2 reasons, that would mean 80 more icons that I'd have to make (honestly, my next theme will have no custom logos) I also like to follow the K.I.S.S Principle for icons. The switch on the icons would make it too cluttered.

            Just wanted to say I am loving this theme great job! very inspiring! I decided to make some custom icons that could be used for recently played, kodi, settings, all games, favorites, alternative pc-engine, alternative kodi, and rapsbian os hope you don't mind. i thought it gives it even more of a switch feel.

              @lilbud Unless I'm being thick, tI can't find the dark Switch theme. I've updated Retropie-in the sense that I updated everything from source. Your Switch theme comes up, but I can only seem to see the Light theme in the theme installer menu. Is the dark theme actually available or has it been pulled?

              Also, the theme pictured below: is this one of yours? If so, which is it? I like simple, and prefer dark themes over light themes.

                @danorak1981 I'm not at home right now so I can't check if the dark version is available from within Retropie. But at least it's available on github if you want to manually install it. https://github.com/lilbud/es-theme-switch-dark

                Also, the images are showing changes I've made to the dark switch version just for personal use. And i will not release it, because i only changed the things I needed for my particular setup and I'm to lazy to add more icons.

                  @danorak1981 I never added the dark theme to the retropie setup, I'll send a PR soon.

                  That theme you see is a custom version made by @EctoOne

                    @itsmejerry If it is okay with you, I would like to add these icons to the switch theme.

                    Also, whats the TV icon for?

                      @lilbud Thats actually really cool-I like the Switch theme, but I find light themes a bit hard on the eyes in my lounge-the darker side has always appealed to me (enter Star Wars reference here lol). What I really need to learn to do is make my own theme, but not a clue where to start-I could just pinch bits of others then to make my own!

                        Why do you think all of my themes have a dark variant? I start by making the light version, but then realize (usually by playing games late at night) that the light version will slowly make me go blind.

                          @lilbud no problem at all please do! the tv icon is just an alternative "kodi" icon. I figured if people do not know what Kodi is it might be easier to just show a tv icon.

                          Here is the link to the files: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bza0Ft88hK60YkxqVGNhOWxicG8

                          I'll be sure to share any other additions I make to your theme as well. I am currently working on a loading screen that looks similar to the loading screen on switch.

                                Yeah, that was missing.

                                        I just noticed a small error in both variants.

                                        <!-------------LAST PLAYED--------------->		
                                        		<datetime name="md_lbl_lastplayed">
                                        			<pos>1 1</pos>
                                        		</datetime>
                                        		
                                        		<datetime name="md_lastplayed">
                                        			<pos>1 1</pos>

                                        Should be:

                                        <!-------------LAST PLAYED--------------->		
                                        		<text name="md_lbl_lastplayed">
                                        			<pos>1 1</pos>

                                        		<datetime name="md_lastplayed">

                                        		</datetime>

                                            @lilbud Um, I will try. I just got into that whole github thing a few days ago and it took me an hour to figure out how to even upload files.
                                            I have to fork your themes, change the things in my fork and then send the pull request, right?

                                            Edit: I think i've done it, let me know if it was correct.
