      I'm following this guide:
      https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Add-emulationstation-themes-(EN)

      It says that the themes folder is located here on the network:
      \recalbox\share\system.emulationstation\themes

      But when I enter that into my browser I can't seem to drop in a theme that I found online.

      On a related note, do you guys know of any themes that would go perfectly with a small CRT TV via composite out? 240p perferably

      I couldn't find a sticky on the 1st issue, sorry if this comes up a lot.

        @sylvester said in Don't know how to access themes folder:
        The path you're supposed to paste in your exmplorer is \\recalbox\share\system\.emulationstation\themes. There, you can drop your new theme in a folder.

        yup. https://forum.recalbox.com/topic/6046/wip-theme-recalbox-bartop-ecran-4-3/4 For a start. But @supernature2k should be able to tell you how to fit his theme for a CRT TV, I can't find on the forum.

          @sylvester hi, u must change recalbox (in the *recalbox*\share\system.emulationstation\themes) with your ip (ethernet or wifi).

          for example \10.65.10.21\share... or \192.168.0.69\share... etc

          for see the recalbox ip, press enter and going to the network

            @gothrek recalbox is a netbios name, it (most of times) worksand should be the preferred way to access recalbox.

              @substring yes i know, but not for all networks works (if is enable or not on your pc, tcp protocol). Also depend if u change or not the recalbox name.

              I think that its better try with ip address and if works (and not with netbios name), try to understand why not.

              Step by step, well my 2 cents, just an idea for solve or understand why not works.

                \recalbox\share\system.emulationstation\themes

                I copy and pasted the address and it goes to this:

                0_1504701527588_recalbox theme issue.png

                When I copy and paste the address and add in the IP i get this:
                Page not found (404)

                    Or install Filezilla on your PC, I use it also for my websites. Cost nothing and you can download upload files as you want. And even when you cannot modify folders on lower level as share, you can consult and download files, that is not working with windows explorer.
                    Host : Recalbox after name that you give to it on your router or IP. Transfer SFTP, User : root, Password :recalboxroot

                        Thanks guys

                        I have filezilla, didn't know it could be used with the Rpi.

                        Also i read here:
                        https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Network-access-with-WinSCP-(EN)

                        that this is also possible for those times when you need to transfer larger files without worrying about files dropping out.
