      Recently came across the lack of smaller resolution themes. So i sort of wanted to give it a shot and see what i could come up with. It's a refurbished version of my Simpler-Turtlepi, meaning still very compact and lightweight. Just started it so i don't have much to show for now and still incomplete.

        I can see this being very useful for those small screen projects!

          I've still be debating on what to add and where to add since i'm trying to not cram to much while making it still visible and to the point.

          I still have some ideas on adding something between the buttons at the bottom, but just haven't fully gotten my head around the idea yet.

              That resolution was done in 320x240 and should support 640x480 as well.

                So here's a Mock up progression of how it's going to start looking like. Most of it is implemented and set up but not fully.

                  @Omnija That's looking good, Omnija! The bottom help graphic looks like it has some mis-aligned background. Could it all be a transparent PNG that overlays the background?

                    @Rookervik It's a mock up and i was lazy with it, so it's just me doodling on top of a screenshot. Most of it will probably not match up right lol.

                        @Rookervik ill look more into alternative colours later once i've completed it.
                        Still debating on a lot of the out come and if i should be using the updated ES or not.

                        Here's an actual screenshot of the progress, the "NON" mock-up version lol.

                          I've debated the diversity of colour change per system and will most likely end up doing it. This was a quick trial to see what it would look like and a comparision vs original and new.

                            I've uploaded it to the git and added the link to the main post.
                            If anyone could try it out and give back feedback it would be very much appreciated.

                              Just tried it out. Looks nice. Just a couple of personal suggestions. The diversity of color you suggested in your previous post would be my choice for each system. Also, in basic view, would prefer game list box to stretch further out to the edges of the screen. Other than that, great job!
