Description

Thank you for your hard work! I was wondering if it's possible to have the option to force the active menu entry's title text (not subtext) to be bold via CSS or any other means.

Demonstration:

Research direction

Start by locating the XMB rendering entry point for the active menu entry and inspect how its title text and subtext styling are selected. Implement an option that makes only the active title bold, then verify the result with the demonstrated active-menu layout and confirm that existing subtext styling remains unchanged.
