Themes for 240p??

RetroRay

I modified my config.txt file with sdtv_mode=16 to output 320x240p through the 3.5mm jack with an rca cable. Everything works fine and games look awesome on my old CRT, but most of the emulationstation theme text are barely readable. I'v searched google and coudln't find any themes designed with 240p over CRT in mind. Anyone here have any pointers? Thanks in advance.

@RetroRay there is one. I forget the name. It is used for handhelds. It also is a 320x240 resolution. Its a no thrills theme just so you know as that resolution is too small for much graphics.

@RetroRay You can also have a look at the Io Theme. I made it so you can choose different sizes. Just change line 17 in io.xml to read <include>./_inc/templates/small.xml</include>, save it and reload the theme.

I highly recommend the workbench theme from Rookervik: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/5552/release-amiga-workbench-emulationstation-theme

It's my daily driver! Clean and easy to read with a pixelated touch. My favorite thing about it is that lots of info is shown at the same time and stuff rarely gets cut from the side on a CRT.

Also, if you say you're using a CRT, I just wanted to link you a cool little script I use to set the overscan: https://github.com/ukscone/set_overscan
Super useful, play around with the disable_overscan and overscan_scale values to make sure the system does what you want.
