      Hey guys,

      I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue: When I am scrolling left and right through the console menus in EmulationStation (from the actual console menu screens, not the menu bar), every time I get to my VirtualBoy menu, the screen dims slightly. At first I thought it was just an optical illusion because I have a dark red overlay for that menu and it's darker than the previous menu, but after several comparisons it is most definitely dimming slightly because I can tell by watching the gray bar at the bottom. It's only a little and it's only on that specific menu. I can't figure out what's causing it. I've compared the theme.xml line-for-line with some of the other menus and I can't see any difference. Anyone else seen this?

      I'm using a slightly customized MetaPixel theme and I have the transition set to slide. Here's what my theme.xml looks like:

      <theme>
      <formatVersion>4</formatVersion>
      <include>./../metapixel.xml</include>

      <view name="system, basic, detailed">
      
      	<image name="background" extra="true">
      		<color>991900</color>
      	</image>
      
      	<image name="logo">
      		<path>./logo.png</path>
      	</image>
      
      	<image name="console" extra="true">
      		<path>./console.png</path>
      	</image>
      
      </view>
      
      <view name="system">
      
      	<text name="system_description" extra="true">
      		<text>1 9 9 5 :  N I N T E N D O  V I R T U A L  B O Y</text>
      	</text>
      
      </view>
      
      <view name="basic, detailed">
      
      	<textlist name="gamelist">
      		<selectorColor>99190088</selectorColor>
      	</textlist>
      
      </view>
      

      </theme>

      Thanks!
