NES-inspired theme

Forums:

I'm currently working on a multimedia station which will consist of a mini itx in the shell of an old NES running slackware. It'll be hooked up to my TV and stereo, and play my music, movies and of course feature a NES emulator.

As the music player I've chosen MOC since it really is perfect for the job.

I've made a skin to match the aesthetics of the NES, and would really appreciate some feedback and suggestions on how to improve it.

I also encountered a strange problem. The colours I've chosen to use are the NES colours, red, black, light grey and dark grey, but the only way I get the dark grey to work is if it's also bold. This is really annoying since the design I really wanted depended on usage of non-bold dark grey. If anyone knows how I can fix this I would really appreciate it.

Hello A great consept of colour choice.

My moc wouldn't accept the theme as is, for some reason I do not know. But after commenting the 2 first lines:

colordef white = 823 823 823
colordef grey = 502 502 502

It was ok. I have the colors pretty much as I like it and the bold gray is in windows pytty pretty ok imho.

keep up the good work :)

ad to the dark-grey and bold it may be terminal problem try to use another terminal/console/...

Great theme!
Thanks you!

Thanks for the help/feedback. The bold grey problem was a terminal-specific thing, worked in other terms.

I'll post an update if I make major changes in the future.
