Nice, thanks for the info! One of these days, it would be nice to customize it to my personal taste :)

Thank you for this sir!

No problem. If anyone creates a custom theme, let me know and we'll find a way to host it!

This is a cool 'How to', Thank you

There's few of these little 'how to's' floating around in the discussions section would a 'Category' for them be a good idea? You know like the 'Solved Issues' one.

Ive just skinned the default one with my own graphics but it would be neat to create one from scratch.

I have run into a bit of an issue. I was attempting to make a custom theme by using the default and Tron themes as my template. I got it working for the most part but then once when it restarted to change to the theme I got an error "IOError: [Errno2] No such file or directory: u'/home/pi/pimame-menu/themes/\u201cdefault\u201d/theme.yaml'. I went into config.yaml and tried to manually change it to one of the other themes manually but I always get this error with the theme name between"/\u201c". Any ideas what has happened here? I hope to avoid doing a fresh image on the SD Card if possible as my Kickstarter card was lost in the mail. Thanks

yeah, I'll add it with the next update. I"m going to be changing some things around with the next update to support box-art/descriptions as well as possibly a new 'flow' mode rather than the standard grid.
