Could we get Fancy Text support in mini-menus? I really want to make a menu with a custom font. ---

You can get custom fonts in miniMenu if they are monospaced already as the menu can handle any makecode-format font and you can build those using [my Makecode Font Editor](https://forum.makecode.com/t/makecode-font-editor/36236). Looking at the mini menu code it probably wouldn’t be too hard to implement fancy text, but that’s up to Richard of course and he is working on a lot right now. The way you get the editor fonts into the mini menu requires JavaScript. You would have to create a font like `let myFont = hex`[font data]` ` and then for every menu item in the menu you would set it’s font variable to your font. Something like this: ![Screenshot 2026-05-08 at 6.00.00 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/7/e/7eeca552a31b032309e455155374e6bf7c5b3d2b.png) ---

the main thing preventing me from implementing fancy text is that we don’t have a version of the blit function for 1bpp images (which fancy text uses). i use blit for the scrolling in minimenu, since i have to draw a lot of partial characters along the edges of the text. i can work around this but it’s annoying so i haven’t done it yet ---

something i’ve done to get “custom fonts” is to manually draw the custom text as the mini menu icon and just not put any text in the menu. ---

Like adding a mini text below the menu options, I think that’d be cool? ---

From my knowledge, no, but if your background is one solid color, you can set the background of default and selected to the color of your background, and it looks transparent! ---

with the transparency extension. Each mini menu is literally a Sprite, so the transparency extension should work. [Previous page](https://forum.makecode.com/t/arcade-mini-menu-extension/14368.md?page=7)
