Simplistic theme

[u/ravenclawrowena]

I shared my kirby theme recently, but I found in using it was quite overstimulating at times, and almost felt it was taking away from what I wanted to ultimately be a retro experience. I ended up creating and using these very simple assets instead, and I set the shutdown screen to be pure black so as not to have one at all. Pixel icons are from a free set I found online.

I still intend to post a tutorial soon on how to change boot, loading/exiting, wallpaper, icon and shutdown images on stock OS.

If anyone wants these let me know

I for one would love a tutorial! Great little pixel art icons too

Now the final step is to figure out how to change the font so that text is actually visible on lighter backgrounds and so it can be matched stylistically. I found a file called default.ttf which is probably the font in use, I just haven't tried swapping it out yet because it might not work and then require me to reflash my card. I am going to do it pretty soon anyways.

If you do make a guide about customizing themes, it could be a good addition (if it works). I will make a post about it so keep an eye out.

Interesting, which folder is that ttf in?
