-    * //I wanted a more "modern" and colourful boot experience when I turn on my C64 Ultimate, so I'm using my custom "dark mode" kernal with an alternative fontLove seeing this when I turn it on, and it's nice to be using a fresh fontI might create some other designs too.// +Service to change the look of the default BASIC startup screen. 
-  I was stated that this was done by modifying both kernel and character rom. But due to copyright concerns these could not yet be shared. +        => https://c64.pro 
-    * => **At present no information available to re-create this** without knowing yourself how to do this+      * Website where you can upload your own ROM file. The service will modify the file with the selected esthetic optionAfter payment of $3 you can download the file and activate it. - Except some designs who are free of charge  
 +      Works also with JiffyDOS and DolphinDOS

 +===== Replacement C64 system font =====
 +This is a replacement for the original C64 system font. You can use it with VICE or in a real C64 with a character eprom. 6 pixel uppercase height, better readability, mostly closed inverted text, consistent x-hight.
