Obviously this is a work in progress for my would to be Q*bert cabinet. I have some ideas for improvement but I'm interested in hearing what others think.

Ouch! That bad? :-)

Very nice layout. My only suggestion might be using a different font for the game list? Probably can't find the exact same one as the "Q*bert" title is in, but can probably get close.

Well, the placement of things were brutuly stolen from the Halloween layout in the other thread :-)
I'm looking for a Q*bert font so if anyone knows about one please let me know. I think I browsed through at least a thousand yesterday without finding a good enough one. But maybe I'm too picky. There is something I don't understand about the mll files, I thought I changed the colour of the game list fonts but nothing happened. Well I'll keep experimenting.
I also thought about placing a "pyramid" behind the characters so that they will each stand on a block. Think I will do a quick draft and see how that turns out.

Not sure anyone is interested but here is a small update.

Oh yes, I like that better.
As far as making a change and not seeing it. I have run into this as well. I think sometimes when you make a big change MALA realizes this and askes to SAVE on exit. I have made small changes and hit File, EXIT and it did not ask to save. So now I always make sure I FILE, SAVE AS and not FILE, EXIT.
