I think the best option is to.add a custom music for your menu theme.

I have a little code for this on my computer.
Something like fe.add music....

I'll paste later if you want.

Code: [Select]
// sound
local mysong = fe.add_sound("music.mp3");

mysong.file_name = music.mp3";
mysong.loop = true;
mysong.playing = true;

just put the code into the layout.nut file of the theme that is being used as your display-menu
then drop an mp3 file into the layout,  make sure to rename it of course!

done.

I do have one more problem with this script. When I exit a game back to the theme, the music no longer plays. Any way around this?
