      @ectoone No worries. Glad you worked it out. I mostly used Roboto on my themes, but I used some fancier ones too (as you can see in my Core theme https://github.com/mattrixk/es-theme-core. I might actually finish it one day).

      My ES themes: MetaPixel | Spare | Io | Indent

        @mattrixk Huh, it's 9 months old and I can't remember if I have seen that before. Looks nice.

        Anyways, I changed the fonts to go more with the basic line theme. Although I'm still not happy with the secondary font. But all fonts I tested have been either too wide to fit in the metadata section or too tiny to read. And I changed the colors a little bit, because some where to dark to read from a distance.
        I also replaced the preview images in the first post.

          Update:

          • It now has a complete text based carousel (Thanks again to @jdrassa for implementing that feature).
          • changed the Carousel font
          • changed the metadata font to the same as metadata label
          • changed description font
          • changed grid view to have the same look as the carousel (four games)

            I think this might work for my R2D2 build I'm slowly working on. I'm going to have to grab it

              @simpleethat if you change the colors it might fit. I just did a quick test, and you might need to change some font sizes.

                  @ectoone Okay... I'm a little embarassed by this but how do I go about downloading it? Also what values did you get use for the colors?

                    @simpleethat When you click the link, there is a green button on the right side that says 'Clone or Download'. Hit that and a small window appears under it with the option 'Download ZIP'.

                    And I don't quite understand your question about the color values. Do you want to know what values I used for the white/blue variant or where to input them or what?

                    These are the values for the white/blue variant and they have to be put at the top of the theme.xml file in the ZIP. There should be a section for it.

                     <backgroundColor>E0E6F2</backgroundColor>
                     <mainColor>0F2088</mainColor>
                     <highlightColor>CC3433</highlightColor>
                     <secondaryColor>888888</secondaryColor>

                        @ectoone Thanks, you assumed correctly about the blue/white values. I think this is going to be perfect for my R2D2 build
