It certainly looks nice, agreed. But where is it shown, if I may ask?
Also, I dislike the "Pocket" part in it, not due to the way it looks,
but because of the implications. Once upon a time, there were many
"rogue" custom ports of ScummVM, all with their own names like
PocketSCUMM, ScummDS, etc. I am quite happy that today, we only have
"ScummVM" or at most "ScummVM for XYZ", and with a common "brand". I
think we should be careful to uphold that. The prefix "Pocket"
suggests that one is looking at a customized version of ScummVM,
possibly with reduced functionality, made for portable devices. That's
not really the case, though, hence misleading.
Cheers,
Max
