## Art & Support Files

MameUI's flexible GUI framework allows for some beautiful customization; including font color, icons, screenshot art, and background images. The official site for the snaps and icons is MameUI. The following files are used for this customization.

Icons.zip : This file contains icons for every game in MameUI and the folder view on the far left. Place it in the \MameUI\icons folder, it can remain zipped to save slack HD space but the zip file must be named icons.zip.

Snap.zip : These are a series of files that contain in-game screenshots of every parent game in MameUI. Download the packs and extract their contents into the \MameUI\snap directory or combine their *.png contents into one large snap.zip file.

Titles.zip : This file can provide support for screenshots showing the titles of the game in MameUI, place in \titles directory.

Marquees.zip : This file can provide support for the marquee images that appear on the top of arcade machines, place in \marquees directory..

To have it rotated randomly on MameUI launch, toggle the checkbox in the Options • Interface Options menu.

Flyers.zip : This file can provide support for the original flyers sent to arcade operators, exhorting them to buy the games, place in \flyers directory.
