Word of warning: I tried using Paragon to copy my ROMs, and it repeatedly corrupted SD cards on me.

Here is a black and white version I've been working on for Kite's upcoming build. My case is going to be a black and white theme so I thought this would match plus it is high contrast and easy to read.

@HoolyHoo

Looks nice. It appears that you're viewing it at a 16:9 resolution in the screenshots. Depending on how you have them coded into the theme, ES might squish the background art on a 320x240 or 640x480 screen so it looks tall and skinny unless you crop the backgrounds to a 4:3 ratio.

@RxBrad, backgrounds are in svg format and I am using maxSize tags so they keep their proportion no matter what resolution your in. Here they are at 320 x 240 or a 4:3 ratio.

Will do. Just finishing some of the systems and some final testing first.
