    Try this image as the background, lilbud: BG Image

    And tint it: 019546 with the <color> tag.

    The shadows should stay black and transparent, while the white part will take on the tint you apply to it. Be sure to stretch the image to full screen. The image is less than 1kb, and smaller than what I use in Pixel. And pixel is faaaast.

        @Rookervik Is there a way to call the individual system logo from the main theme.xml?

        Like this...

                <image name="logo">
        		<pos>0.600 0.057</pos>
        		<maxSize>0.26 0.1</maxSize>
        		<path>./system.svg</path>
        	</image>

          @lilbud Nope, but you can define everything for that logo, then call for the path of the logo in the theme.xml.

          Pixel and Modern do this:

          In the main xml, you set positions for EVERYTHING. Font for everything, colors... set up the entire theme here in the main xml. So calling for your image would be

          main.xml:

                  <image name="logo">
          		<pos>0.600 0.057</pos>
          		<maxSize>0.26 0.1</maxSize>
          		<color>ffffffff</color>
          	</image>
          

          And then the individual theme.xmls would pretty much ONLY have links to images...

          theme.xml:

                  <image name="logo">
                          <path>./system.svg</path>
          	</image>
          

          Since the theme.xml calls for the use of main.xml (up at the top) both xmls are basically combined. Favoring the theme.xml over the main.xml in disputes.

                That's pretty unique! Where is the gamelist going to go?

                  @Rookervik I was planning to make the title the game list. I could not find a way to fit a game list in there and make it look presentable. Have any ideas?

                        This a neat theme, but unfortunately I can't create a runcommand theme for nds. Is anyone able to achieve what I'm trying?
