      Hi,

      I'm trying to add the system name in text format to the showcase theme right next the system logo. I've been trying for a few hours but i can't get it to display. I've tried placing the code in the main theme.xml file as in one of the systems and restarting emulation station with each change.

      The code i'm adding is the following, in a view that concerned details, video and basic.

               <text name="system_name" extra="true">
      		<text>${system.fullName}</text>
      		<forceUppercase>1</forceUppercase>
      		<size>0.743 0.031</size>
      		<pos>0.090 0.065</pos>
      		<color>ffffff</color>
      		<fontPath>./_inc/fonts/OpenSans-Bold.ttf</fontPath>
      		<fontSize>0.03</fontSize>
      		<alignment>left</alignment>
      	  </text>
      

      I kow emulationstation is reading the value because if i enter a wrong fontpath it crashes or if i enter a big fontsize it also crashes with another error. But i can't for the life of me get it to display the system name in white text next to the logo and i don't know what i'm doing wrong.

      Thanks in advance
