      @modmaster What do you think about this? I had to drop the 3rd and 4th layers of the comic style so it is just 2 colors, otherwise it gets to busy and the HACKS does not stand out. The opacity gets weird with the pixel on the green letters and the pixels below, even at like 95% it is still muddy, so i went with out opacity. I can make Hacks smaller, so we can still read the full name as well. I am really open to suggestions as this is a cool idea so just let me know what you think or what else we should try.

        Question: Should the famicom system logo say:

        famicom
        family computer
        family computer disk system
        family disk system

        my vote is famicom because the shorter logos look better, but i don't know what the most liked version is. Thanks

          @TMNTturtlguy That looks awesome. so you can't hacks slightly transparent? Maybe a little smaller... lower maybe. To be honest I think it looks awesome but you do lose the system name a bit... maybe using my png would help that. man too many options lol... What if you make hacks its own pic, export as a png, then import it to the GBA file. Would you be able to make it transparent as a png?

              @TMNTturtlguy and actually famicom and family disk system are 2 separate systems. We will need a family disk system theme tho!!! :)

                  Not really sure what I missed, but the theme is not working for me (all white, just like if the theme didn't exist at all). I did git clone in the /etc/emulationstation/themes folder, right next to all my other themes. see picture:

                  alt text

                  sorry if this is super stupid!

                    @felleg first guess is you downloaded version 2 which requires you to have the most up to date version of emulationstation. Either update emulationstation or download version 2 wich will work for older versions of ES.

                        @TMNTturtlguy I think I like it smaller like this. Maybe move it down to the lower part of boy.

                            @TMNTturtlguy if you can move it down a bit I say none. Seeing the inner lines of "boy" letters will help define it a bit I think.

                                        @TMNTturtlguy nice. I'll have a few more this evening. Did you see the txt file in my drop box? might be easier to email the files if you want. I plan on one background for all MAME and FBA are you good with that?

                                          @modmaster I saw it, will shoot you an e-mail. Are you ok with just using the arcade background i already have done for all of the FBA and Mame backgrounds? I don't see a need to redo them at all.
