ES-DE is fully themeable, and although the application ships with the comprehensive rbsimple-DE theme set, you can replace it with a number of themes available from various locations on the Internet.
Somewhat confusingly the terms _theme_ and _theme set_ are used to refer to the same thing. The technically correct term for what you apply to the application to achieve a different look is actually _theme set_ as it's a collection of a number of themes for a number of game systems. The supplied rbsimple-DE is an example of such a theme set. But in this guide and in other EmulationStation resources on the Internet, the term theme is often used to refer to the same thing as a theme set. As long as you are aware of the distinction, it doesn't really matter which term is used.

Note that this Desktop Edition fork adds additional features to the themes and more still will be added in future versions. This means that you may not get the full benefits of the application if you're using a different theme set. But effort is spent trying to make ES-DE backwards compatible with the available themes used by other EmulationStation versions, even if the functionality they provide is limited.

This means that you may not get the full benefits of the application if you're using a different theme set. But effort is spent trying to make ES-DE backwards compatible with the available themes used by other EmulationStation versions. The exception to this are some themes made for the Recalbox and Batocera forks of EmulationStation as they have added a lot of additional theme functionality that ES-DE has no intention to replicate.
Themes are most easily installed in your ES-DE home directory, i.e. `~/.emulationstation/themes`. By just adding the theme sets there, one folder each, they will be found by ES-DE during startup and you can then choose between them via UI Settings on the main menu.
