We don’t currently have documentation for customizing the themeroller templates yet, but new (or modified) Themeroller templates should be uploaded to wp-content/uploads/espresso/themeroller/. Once there is a themeroller template in that folder, all the default themeroller templates will disappear and it will only use templates from that directory. If you do not upload your custom template to the uploads directory, if you made changes to one of the default themeroller templates, it will be overwritten when you upgrade. After Themeroller has been activated in the Template settings, it should be working across the board — I’m not sure why it’s working on the calendar for you but not the rest of the events unless you didn’t activate it within Template Settings (even then, the Calendar shouldn’t be displaying Themeroller, either, if it’s not active in the Template Settings).

No. The base styles that we have in Event Espresso may be modified somewhat from what you get if you run through the customizer on the themeroller site, which is probably why it didn’t look the way you wanted it to. TBH, uploading it in a new directory to either the event-espresso/templates/ directory or the wp-content/uploads/espresso/templates directory should be fine — if it’s in a separate folder, there’s no risk of it being overwritten by an update. If you’ve already modified the default excitebike theme in the ee/templates folder, my suggestion would be to 1) kill your SWT theme and 2) create a copy of or rename the excite-bike theme to something else (like SWT).

if (file_exists(EVENT_ESPRESSO_UPLOAD_DIR . "themeroller/index.php")) {
        $themeroller_style_path = EVENT_ESPRESSO_UPLOAD_URL . 'themeroller/';
    } else {
        $themeroller_style_path = EVENT_ESPRESSO_PLUGINFULLURL . 'templates/css/themeroller/';
    }

It looks like EE is looking for a wp-content/uploads/espresso/themeroller/index.php file, and if it’s there, will load the themeroller files in uploads/espresso/themeroller. Otherwise, it looks for them in the regular location. You might want to try putting your custom themeroller file in wp-content/plugins/espresso/templates/css/themeroller/ to see if they show up and look how you want them. If that works and you want to put them in the uploads folder to save them during updates, put them in uploads/espresso/themeroller, but make sure you put an index.php file in there as well. You can copy the one from plugins/espresso/templates/css/themeroller/
