Menu styling
The nine components that adjust Recalbox's menus.
Recalbox builds its menus itself: their content is not yours. The theme only adjusts their look, through nine components that are not placed.
menuBackground (3)
<menuBackground>
<color>101820F0</color>
<path>${root}/data/arts/cadre-menu.png</path>
<fadePath>${root}/data/arts/voile.png</fadePath>
</menuBackground>| Property | Role |
|---|---|

menuButton (2) — the buttons

menuIcons (23) — the section icons
One icon per menu section:

⚠️
iconListis singular, unlike the “Lists” section it represents. In the plural, it is ignored.
