      @lostless You're right, that does look better. I spent so long on the artwork that I neglected the regular text. I'll have a look for an alternative and then update accordingly.

      I work in Web, so I use Roboto a lot. It's a nice, clean, easy to read font, but it doesn't really suit this theme.

          Last time I mess with your theme. I promise :D. Anyway, a font that is rounded I think will work best as the font for the carousel is VERY rounded. This is the Ubuntu condensed font as another example.

            The font I used is free to use by anyone. I have no copyright on it. So please go ahead and use it if it matches the theme.
            Is there no Roboto bold font?

              Okay, so I've had a bit of a look through google fonts and found a couple I don't mind, but I can't really choose.

              BubblegumSans-Regular
              Imgur

              Boogaloo-Regular
              Imgur

              Neucha
              Imgur

              I'm leaning towards Boogaloo, as Bubblegum is a bit too square and sharp and Neucha is probably too thin. The only downside of Boogaloo is that the font is so condensed. I'd prefer it to be a wider font.

              @lostless: Ubuntu does look nice.

                My vote goes to Boogaloo.

                    I liked the way it looked with the default font, but if I had to decide between the 3 you showed there, I would rather take Boogaloo than the others

                      @mattrixk This looks great with Bubblegum or Boogaloo. I'm just not a fan of meta-data so I'll always go with a simple theme that just shows a gamelist and art. Only one criticism... Why no ColecoVision? Shame on you...joke!. It would be nice if you added it when you get the time.

                        Thanks for the input guys. It looks like Boogaloo is in the lead, but I don't really want to just "settle", so I might keep looking for another font tomorrow.

                        @AlexMurphy: I ran a poll a little while ago to find out the most used systems so I would know the best ones to target. The idea was to make images for the main ones, then take requests from people if they want one that isn't there. So, I now have a request for ColecoVision, and I'll get onto that tomorrow (or maybe later, we'll see how things go).

                            Okay, so I actually really liked @lostless' idea and I've gone with the Ubuntu font, but in Medium weight. I'll have to update the screenshots tomorrow. My lunch break is about to end.

                            @AlexMurphy: ColecoVision has been added.

                              very nice and can tell you put a lot of time into it. I am just now getting into the theme scene and my biggest curiosity is with the ability to manipulate the carousel, but it has me stumped. Maybe my problem is that I am using the tooolkit and vers 1.5.7 of it doesn't support it?

                                @fnkngrv If you get the v1.1 release of the Toolkit, the version of ES contained within should work with Custom Carousels without issue. If you have a look at the BaseVid theme, it was created to give an example of Custom Carousels and Video Previews.

                                  So an older version of the toolkit has newer features to play with and test??

                                    Sorry @fnkngrv, but I'm not really sure I understand what you are asking. If you look in the releases page of the Toolkit, you'll see there are only 2 releases. The original release (v1.0) is just a bunch of fake roms with scraped images and gamelists, and a couple of extra bits, but no ES.

                                    The main release (v1.1) is the full Toolkit that includes a version of ES built by @jdrassa that supports both Video Previews and Custom Carousels.

                                    I don't know what you mean when you mention "vers 1.5.7", as the Toolkit has never had that version number.

                                      @mattrixk Just saw this. Thank you very much. It's a very popular system, often overlooked. I appreciate you taking my request on board. Cheers.

                                        @AlexMurphy No worries. If you have anything else you want let me know. I make no promises on time frame, but it's not too hard to do one or two here or there.

                                          gotcha....I got myself confused with Herb's Portable ES package.

                                            Is there a dedicated thread for the toolkit or no? Not having much luck being able to tell and have a couple questions, but don't want to continue to hi-jack this thread.
