      Hello dear community.
      Thanks for your help and solutions I got and found.

      But now there is a issue I can't solve.

      I built my arcade cabinet with a vertical display and changed some styles in the carbon-theme before.
      But now I wonder if it is possible to change the menu width or its fontsize to make the it more readable.

      That's what I mean..
      alt text

      So.. both are relative and proportional to the screen size, but it looks quite ugly. I' searching a way to make the menu wider and/or the fontsize smaller.

      My Retropie:
      Raspberry 3 Model B
      Retropie v4.1 (Pre made SD Image on RetroPie website)
      Emulationstation v2.01a

      Let me know, if you neeed more information.

      Thanks a lot.

      Jakob

        @jakob I'm affraid that you need to edit the source code and compile yourself.

          Thank you for your answer.
          oh no.. that doesn't sound good.

          There aren't any hidden elements or properties in a top secret theme file?
