+Starting with Batocera 36, the process for installing/upgrading/removing themes is embedded in EmulationStation code. By default, it fetches the themes from a JSON feed with the same format as the one given below.
+If you want to point the content downloader themes section to your own JSON description, you can do that by editing ''batocera.conf'' and adding:
