Themes not loading fully?

@LiveFastCyYoung ....Oh. That's, err, weird?
Anyway, try explicitly adding
gpu_mem=256
To it. Then restart and see what free returns.

@pjft After adding that line to the config file...

@LiveFastCyYoung still the same, interesting. I don't know enough about BerryBoot, I suppose we need to look into it.
What if you make it 512 and run it again?

So I ended up solving this and it was completely stupid on my part.
The memory split was absolutely messed up. I have been having memory problems for quite sometime and it's caused more than this issue: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/10467/solved-error-updating-es-from-source
So, as I said, everything is on the PiDrive for this build. HOWEVER, it is Berryboot and does boot from the SD card. So this whole time, I have been updating the /boot/config.txt on the PiDrive but I should have been updating the config.txt on the SD card. It's the only thing the SD card is used for. The booting up process.
So that config.txt file had gpu_mem=16. OBVIOUSLY an issue. I switched that one to 256 and it's running great now. I haven't tried but I'd imagine I could update ES from source now too.
Why this happened? Who knows. But I think it'd be smart to put a reminder in a guide somewhere to look for the config.txt on the SD card as opposed to the hard drive.
Thanks everyone for their help! :)

@LiveFastCyYoung Glad to hear that was sorted. 160 - or 16 - would have certainly been a problem.
I doubt that would have impacted ES from source, though, as this is just about GPU memory, but I don't know much - maybe you have other things there that are impacting the overall memory.
Glad this is sorted now.
