          @hansolo77 I mirrored him on purpose, missed fixing the hat, we will see if I fix it! Minor details, but good eye, I have never noticed.

            Yeah I noticed when I was looking through the rips to see if there was a good one to use for my PSX theme. :)

                Thanks to @ruckage for helping to modify my font once again, i have updated all versions of the ComicBook theme to correct the gamelist alignment, the text is once again centered in the selector bar. Thanks @ruckage !

                      Is there a way to remove the SEGA scream when playing a Sega console? The novelty wears off quickly! :P

                        @felleg yes, there are instructions in the theme folder. There are 2 ways, go into the theme.xml for sega and delete the line items for sound, or go into the art folder and delete the sega.wav file. If you delete the sega.wav file you may get an error message flash when loading a rom, you can ignore it, it just will say that the .wav file is missing.

                          @TMNTturtlguy In another thread we were talking about changing that "rip image" for megadrive detailed view. I would like to suggest these Sonic images instead of the current Battletoads one:

                          sonic1

                          sonic2

                          sonic3

                            @meleu sure, do you have a favorite? Do you think I should change it in the main code or just throw this in the art folder so users can adjust as they want to? I don't use mega drive, I use sega genesis so it doesn't affect me.

                              @meleu Not that it really matters but I believe these are the sonic designs used in the GBA games. To be authentic to Megadrive the Sonic designs from that era should be used instead.
                              (Sonic is definately more fitting though as he is the sega mascot)

                                These are Megadrive era sonic designs for comparison.

                                  @ruckage correct, here is the rip image used for sega genesis.0_1498779573728_sonic.png

                                    What really matters is that the character needs to be leaning forward or coming out of the screen. Like this image for Mega Man:
                                    megaman

                                    @TMNTturtlguy said in New Comic Book Theme!:

                                    do you have a favorite?

                                    I think the first one gives a good impression that he is ripping the page and coming out of the screen:
                                    sonic1

                                        @meleu already done - not sure it is my favorite, but i will throw it in the folder.

                                          @TMNTturtlguy OK, it can be an option. But I would suggest to use for megadrive the same image you're using for genesis as default.

                                          What really bothers me is seeing a Battletoads character in MegaDrive detailed view. I think Battletoads leads our minds to NES (at least for most people).

                                            @meleu I always prefered battle toads on Sega/megadrive for some reason i didn't like it on NES. But i have made the change.
