Really nice work, just installed!

I noticed a mistake in the Retropie menu background, I think
The XML is missing the entry for the background.

fixed it for myself:

You'll need to scrape data on your ROMs to get the box art to show up.

Do you have any instructions for installing the theme is a person doesn't have wireless in their build, a way to install themes without ssh or connecting to the internet?

You need a usb with fat32( f.e.) format.
With the usb empty you plug it in the usb port of your gbz. Switch on the gbz and wait until the usb light turns off( my usb has an activity light).It took me like 2 or 3 minutes, sort of.
Once that's done, unplug it and insert the usb into the computer, you'll see folders has been created ( roms, themes, etc...).
Now it's time to insert into the Themes folder the theme file you downloaded previously, in my case the dark theme.zip or something. You need to decompress the .zip or .rar or something and copy it into the themes folder, previously mentioned.
Now you plug the usb into your gbz and wait again until activity usb light turns off. It may take a while.
After all that process, you press START ( I think it was there) and go to theme selection. You csn scroll now to the theme previously inserted.
It think that's all

Themes is not a folder created when following the advice.
I created one though and tried to get it to copy over.

It did not seem grab the theme (It is not showing up in eith the UI settings of under ES themes).

[marketus]

yes some people have that issue. I don't know why actually
