      Hi, is there a way to display the system name in the system view?

        You can do that by editing the theme. Uncomment the logo file and set parameters for the font (i think it is possible). I prefer to make a custom theme from sketch or the easiest way: make custom logos with only the name of the system as a .png file ;-)

          Hi, thanks funkybunch...

          I'm already using the logo for my theme and I understand that if you remove the logo then the title text will appear in place. I was just wanting to know if there was a variable for the title text available, no problem tho, I'll just use an image object instead (with some text).

          Thanks again, much appreciated :)

            @paffley Instead of adding an extra <image>, you could add an extra <text> field:

            <text name="system_name" extra="true">
              <text >Super Nintendo</text >
              <pos>x x</pos>
              <size>x x</size>
              <fontPath>./font.tff</fontPath>
            </text >
