Hi,

This is a minor thing, but I preferred the backgrounds as they were before, without the title at the top, especially now that we have the art gallery option. Also some game titles change with each language.

In the future it would be nice to be able to choose if to show or to remove this

The titles are part of the background image so I think this is not easy or quick to do.

Also (just my opinion) the compression for the backgrounds is maybe too much now. It is great to have reduced size, but now some compression artifacts are visible https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/6jx3cvxc6dlvw48/background.png. I think for raspberry pi and other micro computer it is very important to have light images, for other people using batocera in a PC the image size is not a problem because the video memory is not an issue in a modern computer.

Hi thanks for your feedbakc :)

I've add the name of the games on the images, really i will not take the time to remove them an other time. I think it's really important and we don't see them a lot, i make affect to hide them the more i can. If i make an option with real text for this feature, i will can't hide them fine ... some are writes in white or black ... so complicated by option.
Sorry if you don't like them, but i can't and don't want to remove them. I will can maybe work a little on some if you write me the one i draw bad.

For the Saturn screen you show me the problem, the artifact is on my original image and i forgot to clean this one by hand ... i will do it. Not a compression problem. It's a lossless compression.
And the theme must works fine too on PI or OGA etc ... not only PC.

ok :) it's not really very important. For some reason I like more to have clean background without the title, but it is good to have the name of the game there too!

About the image quality. Some of them really look like they have compression artifacts, or maybe its something else. For example in the Super Nintendo background, the clouds have artifacts around them, it's not very noticeable (unless you zoom in) but if it is a big monitor or big tv it can be seen.

I've repair some backgrounds where we can see some artifacts : 3DS, Megadrive, Saturn, SNES ;)
And change 3DS title in English like others.
