      @gamer85 Yeah everywhere I look I see pictures of the TRS80... Color Computer. Which is CoCo. I can't find any decent pictures of the TRS80 Model 1. I'm wondering if we can't just call this an upgrade like we do with C64/128 and all the different Amigas. I'd hate to think of doing DOS and drawing all the different generations of DOS-wielding computers.

        @Rookervik the problem is that the TRS-80 Model 1 and TRS-80 Model 3 (the update to the Model 1, there was no Model 2) are completely different architecture and OS than the CoCo. Can you use the TRS-80 Model 3 as basis for the icon instead of the Model 1? If you search TRS-80 Model 3, do you find enough images to build the icon? If not I can post many images of the TRS-80 Model 3 here in this thread.

          Model 3 looks like the keyboard is attached to the screen and diskette drives... is that the correct one to use? I found a lot of pictures of that.

            @Rookervik the sdltrs emulator emulates the model 1-4p so any will technically work ;) I like the look of the model 1 but you're the one doing the art so if the available resources are better for you with the model 3 then do whatever works best for you :)

            Your skills are appreciated :D

                  @gamer85 Ah that's perfect. I'll do the Model 1 you found. I couldn't find an image that clear.

                      Pixel TFT 0.2 Now with more TRS-80 ACTION!

                      Updated Pixel with TRS-80, so I also added TRS-80 to the TFT version.
                      -Sorry for the Genesis games, I don't have TRS-80 so I just tested with Genesis. Bad screenshot, too. Looks better in ES.

                        @Rookervik Thank you for the update. Looks awesome, but if you want feedback, I have just one suggestion. The TRS-80 Model I and TRS-80 Model III did not display color. Your header theme looks great, but the three color bars (red, green & blue) that you are using in pixel-tft_0.2 were part of the CoCo logo not TRS-80 Model I and Model III. One suggestion would be to remove the 3 color bars and make the TRS-80 text bigger to match the same font as Radio Shack. I have included a picture of the TRS-80 Model I power supply to get an idea of what the original text looked like. Also I have included two game images to give you an idea what the actual graphics looked like. The last image is the CoCo (Color Computer) where you can see the logo in the upper right corner. Again, those color bars were not part of the Model I and Model III.

                          @gamer85 GOSH! I'll fix it one day. TRS-80 has given me more problems than any other system. Promise I will fix it. Soonish. :D

                              @gamer85 Before I go and waste time drawing it in pixel, will this logo suffice?

                                    @Rookervik The TRS-80 Model I/III Icon looks great. Fantastic job. Thank you.

                                      @Rookervik wanted to mention that pixel-tft_0.2 was missing the Texas Instruments TI-99 4A icon. Just an fyi if you ever have time to add. Absolutely no rush and no urgency. I have included a few images of the TI-99 4A for your review. Again, understand if this item is something that you may not be able to get to.

                                          After adding TI-99 to Pixel, I noticed that in this low resolution version of the theme, all systems have the same background color. It will probably take some time to re-build this theme and fix all of the colors for the systems. (so, for each system, create custom color xml)
