I'll second that. Night is a bit wonky with my mouse (it doesn't work ) . But I do like the idea of a clean screen and I don't see text as buttons... now for the font.

well, i messed something up in the Includes_Home.xml

After starting over with the original backup things work the way I wanted them

I added in the Font.xml
<font>
<name>font-40c</name>
<filename>teen-caps.ttf</filename>
<size>40</size>
</font>

in the fonts folder i renamed teen-caps.ttf to teen-caps.ttf.org
and copied my favorite font arial rounded into the font folder and renamed it teen-caps.ttf

changed the size to 40 at the vertical setting

<visible>!Control.HasFocus(5040)</visible>
</control>
<control type="label">
<posx>118</posx>
<posy>0</posy>
<width>217</width>
<height>40</height>
<font>font-40c</font>
<textcolor>blue</textcolor>

and the horizontal setting
<visible>!Control.HasFocus(5040)</visible>
</control>
<control type="label">
<posy>1</posy>
<height>40</height>
<font>font-40c</font>
<textcolor>blue</textcolor>

at the skin settings home window menu I activated wide home menu buttons
and this is what it looks like now








thanks for the tips guys
