cool, i quite like the theme you are working on, and have wondered to go that route instead of having to adapt images , i also wondered if maybe i use a 3d room builder to create the back drop for all systems then add consoles, posters ect. i had an idea
for an ahk script to read the console window and look for the theme loaded then launch internet radio in the background (hoping the ahk guys can help on this on their board), so it can be used for ambience ie atari 2600 maybe plays 70s/80 radio

Thank you, it is my first attemp the layout was just for atari 2600 because i wanted to create a different room per console with decor matched to era..lol tv on the left is a window with a blind..that what you can see on it is the weels/logos hence it doesnt look right, the tv (on the right) could do with something to make the screen look like a crt
