12. SF3000 UI - Master Edition
If you're looking to get a more similar look to the SF3000... Shared a custom theme that remakes the look with attention to detail✨
Different Regular version, by deliberately removing the four game shortcut icons, I think the look is closer to the SF3000 at first glance.
・Removed 4 shortcut icons.
(* About this, listening to some people opinions)
・User ROMS & Settings has been hidden.
(* added PC Engine category instead)
・Others, also made changes to other parts of the design, like the color scheme, the game list, the pause menu, and so on.
Although there are some points to keep in mind as mentioned above, this is an edition for those who still want to be particular.👾
* The above says "User ROMS & Settings has been hidden", but don't worry. In the Master Edition, can easily turn on/off the display of User Settings.
(Just run batch file. For details, please refer to the Readme.txt included with the custom theme.)
* If use the settings, favorites, search, and others frequently and find it troublesome to switch between user settings (if don't care about the UI details of the SF3000), please use the Regular version mode.🐸
* With @osaka's help, able to made this custom theme with close attention to detail.
Very grateful, Thank you.

16. BLACK FRIDAY NIGHT Theme
This custom theme is a modification of the new theme recently released with the SF2000 Black color console. Thank you @osaka for sharing the resources!👾
https://www.reddit.com/r/DataFrog/comments/1h4kpqg/did_anyone_buy_an_sf2000_with_the_new_theme
This is an officially released theme from Datafrog, but there were some issues with the red meter display on the left side of the NES main menu being cut off, and also remaining cut off even when switching to a different category, so have fixed these🐸
Also fixed the issue where the battery meter display had slightly distorted on the SF2000.
It includes encapsulation overlays (png) for the four shortcut icons, which may be useful for those who want to customize their shortcuts.
* It also includes the official boot logo and a modified resource with the game title centered.
