                Many thanks for that. As suspected Paint Shop Pro X2 doesn't recognise .kra files.

                I have downloaded and installed Krita and had a little play. However I try and cut and paste the template over the top and it doesn't give the same effect as your backgrounds . I've also converted the .jpg to .kra and tried that and no joy. Also converted the .kra file to a .png and tried it in PSP X2. Again no joy.

                Krita is quite good tho.

                  Think I've sussed it....Change the layer opacity to 80%.

                  Save as a .jpg

                  Done.

                  Thank you so very much

                          @bmoxey It has one last bug I think, the box art images change size when you move over them as your browse. That hasn't been fixed.

                            I have made more progress with my theme, including centering text on left, using the console image and console logo and changing some of the system logos. I probably should simplify the PC Engine one (or call it TurboGrafx 16).

                              @bmoxey you can create a github and we can enjoy it while you are doing some change xD. im in love of your mod.
                              pd,would be possible to add video preview in the background ? like after 1s or 2s after scroll the platforms display a blurry video in background with same effects backgrounds does.

                              backgrounds image + ..waiting 1s and platform video autoplay.

                                Update:

                                I have completed the majority of the game list screens. A choice of three....

                                Screen with one up and down arrows:
                                1 Arrow.jpg

                                Screen with two up and down arrows:

                                2 Arrows.jpg

                                Screen with no up and down arrows:
                                No Arrows.jpg

                                All three are in each system folder. There are 3 theme.xml files named theme1.xml, theme2.xml and theme3.xml. You pick the screen you want and rename the filename to theme.xml.

                                With the screen with no arrows I would like to have the system logo centralised if possible. I've tried a few different ways on the script to achieve this without success. Any pointers would be appreciated.

                                The back images are a mix from Tronkyfran theme and @hoover900 's images. @hoover900 kindly let me have a copy his image to work with and guide me on who to use them and credit should go to him for it.

                                I will now start digging around the net for the missing console images.

                                Comments good or bad always welcome....

                                  @CCFox Thank you. I really think the theme looks better without the arrows.

                                        Final update this evening:

                                        On the non arrows screen I have managed to centralise the logo. I even got a ruler out!!

                                        Screen shots:

                                        Nintendo NES - This is the widest looking logo I have:

                                        nes.jpg

                                        Vectrex - This is the deepest looking logo I have:

                                        vectrex.jpg

                                        Bout done and ready to share is anybody wishes to.

                                        Kind Regards

                                            A few more tweaks now done. I do have a slight problem though. When the theme first starts it for a split second on the game list the marquee art appears then disappears. Then it never comes back until you restart the theme. I am guessing it shows it before it loads the game list screen background. Not a major but I would like to stop it. Anybody have any ideas on how to do it?

                                            I will be culling some of the older systems that I can't find artwork for.
