      Aah, so you wanna use that bold font for the consoles and that thin font for the game lists?

        @dd-indeed that's the plan to make it close to the original as possible.

          Okay, now that you explained it, go ahead. The bold font for the consoles is the right one, but as you propably also know, the thin font for the gamelists is not correct yet. The one on the original console is very narrow font, when you look other images of that memory card manager menu.

          alt text

          A-letter and 1-letter are narrow ones especially.

            @dd-indeed I'm going to put it in the close enough category unless someone wants to find it. Unless theres a way to make a font more condensed.

              I have too much time haha:

              Attentica 4F Font

              It's free to use and it's the closest I could find. Some minor differences can be found, when comparing this last image to the example list of the font. Like the middle line on E-letter and the circular shape of the R-top. I keep looking for another options.

                @dd-indeed Im torn. But the new font is WAY to condensed. Its actually skinnier (its thinness is fine) than the original font from the main menu and the numbers dont look right. decisions decision. Roboto condensed, the one I'm using now, is still closer in my opinion all around.

                  Hmm, tricky indeed. I know, that the one you use now on it is close and pretty much the correct shape, except for the width of it. You couldn't find that font in more narrow form ?

                      Well keep it like it is, it's fine. It's smoother, than the other front, but I'm sure that was your intention as well.

                          It's beginning to look like a real theme. I should have it completed for most systems in a week or 2. Going to do the basics and then maybe the odds and ends.

                              @edmaul69 what system do you need for your pistation and I will prioritize those to get you up and running. Basically do you have anything odd like zx spectrum or whatever. Im starting with game consoles and handhelds first an moving on from there. I have about 9 left for me.

                                  You should do that list of consoles, what ed wrote. If someone would need some other systems, you car create a custom package for him by request, because usually it's only a couple that you have to add more.

                                  But about the console images, is it too much asked to have the PAL-versions of them on the images, or the ones the people have actually seen ? I noticed, that you used the US version of SNES on the picture, which I didn't have, as I live in PAL-region. Also, I didn't play with that original MegaDrive/Genesis back in the day, I remember playing with the Model 2-one.

                                    @dd-indeed I can make a PAL folder and call snespal or something. All you would have to do is rename the folder to snes and delete or rename the other one.

                                      Yea, that sounds fine for me. And basically, since you have the bottom work done, it can be altered by the user to fit his personal needs, right ?

                                        @dd-indeed if you can rename folders, It is not hard to make multiple versions of one system. If you want to avoid the xml that's the easiest way

                                          Yea so basically, all I have to do is to use PNG-pictures of the consoles in their respective folders ?

                                            @dd-indeed yes. And name them to what the xml calls for. In my theme the console picture is called system.png
