I think that this is quite poor advice to give, at the very least...poorly worded.

In my opinion this comment makes it seem as though every last byte of space need be fought for, and that graphical themes will markedly decrease your players performance...this is simply not true.

Judging by the screenshot of the intened outcome, the user could code a .wps using incredibly inefficient syntax, add a couple of full screen backdrops, load a few additional fonts (large ones) and *still* have room left over in the buffer for an equally inefficient .sbs and .fms to boot.

I was just trying to help Gaffeltrucken to not end in the same road as me when porting a theme, that is, lack of memory. However, I agree it's something exceptional that only happens on really complex themes (not the case). I said it consumed more resources based on my personal experience, that is, viewports with specific fonts take some more milliseconds (it's a really small time amount) to load than those with the system font. Apart from that, I have nothing against using multiple fonts :)

Gaffeltrucken, good luck with your theme, I'd see something like it but with different colors and background on my Nano... but don't worry, I'll do the port myself :)

Yea, halfway through the design I saw that It was becoming a bit "girly":P. But wth this is more of an experiment. If people like it I'll make more colors =)
