      HI!

      Rpi 3
      RetroPie 4.1
      Ubuntu 16.04 LTS x86 Flavor

      Where to put downloaded themes?

      Ive tried retropie/emulationstation/themes/ and theme folder and in this case "zoid".

      Then when I start retropie again only Carbon is showing up.

      What is the right folder structure?

      Thanks!

          @Kischa You can download some themes via the theme installer (esthemes) from retropie-setup.

          if manually intalling themes they go in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation/themes/

          (so the theme is in a subfolder there).

              @BuZz Sorry to bother you again but now I dont see any /opt folder in home dir? I have show hidden folder on.

              Do I need to create a folder and name it opt and move retropie folder into that one? naah?

                @Kischa it's not in the home directory. It's a path from root /opt = / means the root folder.
