-The goal of this edition is to make the software as easy as possible to install and use as a standalone application, and to support the major desktop operating systems, i.e. Windows, macOS and Unix/Linux. Since it's intended to be used as a desktop application rather than as the primary interface for the computer, there are no plans to provide system administration utilities or control over emulator settings from within ES-DE.
+The goal of this project is to make a high quality frontend that is easy to use, requires minimal setup and configuration, looks nice, and is available across a wide range of operating systems.
 
 It comes preconfigured for use with [RetroArch](https://www.retroarch.com) and a large selection of standalone emulators. It's also fully customizable so you can easily expand it to include emulators or applications not covered by the bundled configuration.

+ES-DE does not support EmulationStation themes, such as those from RetroPie, Recalbox, RetroBat or Batocera.
 
-There are several user-selectable theme options in the _UI Settings_ menu, most notably _Theme variant_ which is essentially a form of theme profile. This could be anything, like different ways to navigate the themes, different layouts and designs etc. Additionally the _Theme color scheme_ setting makes it possible to select between different color schemes, if supported by the theme. The two remaining options _Theme aspect ratio_ and _Theme transitions_ are also important but you can normally leave them at their default _Automatic_ values, especially the _Theme aspect ratio_ option as it will be automatically detected. Be aware that all these theme settings are optional, it's up to the theme developer whether to add support for them to their themes.

-Themes are most easily installed using the built-in theme downloader, but you can also manually add them to your ES-DE home directory, i.e. `~/ES-DE/themes/`. By just adding them there, one folder each, they will be found during startup and you can then choose between them via the _UI Settings_ menu on the main menu. If using the portable release of ES-DE on Windows, the ES-DE application data can be found in the root of the ES-DE directory.
