      Hi,
      I've tried to use 3 themes - NES Mini, Famicon Mini and Retrorama. They just come up with a white screen.
      I have tried installing via WinSCP (placing it in the emulationstation/themes folder) and also via the ES themes menu in retropie , but both come up with the same result. Retropie script has also been updated.
      I have attached photos of the same.
      Blank Theme
      Blank Theme
      When I press f4 to exit ES, the following messages are there in the command line interface.
      Error
      Error
      Other themes such as Carbon and Pixel work fine.
      I'm a noob when it comes to this, so any help would be much appreciated - Thanks

        I have the exact same issue, this issue is affecting both video supported and not video supported themes.

        System has been updated multiple times (Script and Basic Install)

          @platinumgaming In ES bring up the main menu using start(or is it select). Find the setting for VRAM. Set it at 80 and reload. That should sort it. If not play the figure until it works. Bear in mind higher is not neccesarily better.

            I attempted that issue however it did not resolve it yesterday. I re-downloaded the retropie image from the retropie website and completely redid my setup. Updated scripts and basic install, then installed the es themes; once completed I was able to use any theme as needed.

              It does seem that, for some reason, ES was not updated for you. It complained about a missing "selectorHeight" property, which should exist in more recent ES builds. I don't know why that's not the case for the 4.3 image, though, as it should have a very recent ES build in it.

              Do you still get those selectorHeight errors in the new ES?
