      Good day!

      I'm having problems creating custom 'theme' bits for custom collections. I would rather not have to sort all the custom collections in 1 'custom collections' system. Instead I would prefer to have each collection have it's own system visual.

      I realize there are already themes for pre-determined custom collections (Batman, Mario, MegaMan, etc), but I am not using those at this time.

      Say I have a custom collection called 'Namyzark', where do I put the folder in themes for this custom collection so that it appears in the Systems portion of the theme?

      • I've tried it in the main theme's directory. No joy.
      • I've tried it as a sub of the custom_collections folder. No joy.

      Help?

        The custom collections will use theme folders that match the collection name.

        In this case, you'll need to add a folder "Namyzark" in the theme folder, similar to "arcade", "nes", etc. It should be what you tried to do in your option one.

        It needs to have the exact same case - capitals and lower case - otherwise it will not match.
