      I am currently developing a 16:9 theme and have some questions about the carousel.

      I have been working through the documentation found in the Creating Your Own EmulationStation Theme, the THEMES.md file found at the RetroPie/EmulationStation Github, and information gleaned from this Carousel Enhancements post from @jdrassa .

      I am using a horizontal carousel with five systems displayed. My question is whether I can change the current default of the selected system always being in the "center" of the carousel to instead be the "first" system listed (on the left side of my screen) using appropriate attributes in the theme.xml file?

      If so, what would the XML look like for this set up?

      System Details:
      As I submit this post, I am on a Pi400 running the most up-to-date 'Bullseye' Raspberry Pi OS Lite (64-bit), 2022-09-22 release.

      I performed a manual installation of RetroPie following the instructions found here, after tweeking the /RetroPie-Setup/scriptmodules/supplementary/sdl2.sh file to allow me to install SDL 2.0 in order for EmulationStation and RetroArch to work.

      I am using this as a DEV platform for a build I am working on. So the version of RetroPie is currently at 4.8.2 with the Stable branch (2022-09-18) of EmulationStation built from source on 2023-02-03.
