Click here for alternative Dark version of this theme

This theme pulls heavily from the Carbon (controller & system vector art), Spare (preliminary layout), and SimpleBigArt (preliminary background art) themes. It is optimized for resolutions up to 640x480 on small 4:3 screens (like the 3.5" screens commonly used in Gameboy Zero builds). It also works on 16:9 screens but you will notice that the background art is stretched when viewing in this aspect.
