      I'm probably just being really blind and/or dumb here so feel free to shout abuse (it's late!)

      I can't find where to change the text sizes, in 4.0.2

      mount -o remount, rw /
      cd /etc/emulationstation/themes/recalbox/
      nano /etc/emulationstation/themes/recalbox/main.xml

      Then change all lines for font size from 0.02 to whatever is required (0.04 worked nicely for me on a 7")

      Only emulationstation/themes/recalbox/main.xml doesn't seem to exist anymore?? Or at least I can't find it...

        @matra the folder .emulationstation is in /recalbox/share/system and it is hidden.

        And you should upgrade to 4.1

          @voljega Sorry, bad wording,

          That's how you change it in 4.0.2. I have upgraded all of my recalboxes now to 4.1 but I can't find out the process of how to edit the text size in 4.1.

          .emulationstation is 'hidden' but easy to access.

          I can't find where 'main.xml' is or even if it exists anymore and the text sizes are controlled elsewhere in 4.1.

          I do however love the change to 4.1 where if the screen rotation is changed, the system screens rotate with it (in 4.0.2 they did not and I had to manually turn everything upside down!)

            @matra so you mean you can't fing the recalbox theme in 4.1 ?

            Did you look in both share and share_init paths ?

              Found it [main.xml] in the share_init path, knew it would be something simple that I was missing! Thanks!
