Frame

Frames (フレーム, furēmu^?) are obtainable items in Chrono Cross that change the pattern with which the text-box displays text. Players start with three frames already acquired, with the other 12 being items that can be found after fulfulling certain conditions, for a total of 15 frames. Note that it is not possible to get all the frames on a single playthrough, as some frames only appear in certain routes.

To switch between frames, go to "Customize" on the menu screen and select "Custom" on the "Window Frame" option.

Frames that can be found

Name	Japanese name	Appearance	Where to find
Shellfish	シェルフィッシュ		Inspect the merchant's cart in Home World's Arni for this one.
Tea for Three	ティーフォースリー		Found in Termina (Home World). From the entrance of Termina, simply head in a straight line up all the stairs without taking any detours to the left or right. You should now be in an area with a statue (which is in the process of being polished) in between two buildings. From here, search around the building to the left of the statue without heading inside using the O button. There is a person you can't see, but can talk to, and they'll give you this frame if you manage to find them.
Porre's Furnace	パレポリスチーム (Parepori suchīmu, "Parepori Steam"?)		When you have returned to Termina after the events at Viper Manor (Another World) and after having visited Guldove for the first time, return to Viper Manor. In the library tower, there is a trapdoor hidden behind a desk that leads to a secret room. Talk to the BeachBum inside to receive this frame.
Skullduggery	メメントの森 (memento no mori, Memento Forest?)
Tropical Paradise	南国日和 (nangoku biyori, 南国日和?)		Recruit Macha and you will get this one automatically.
Guldovian Stitch	ガルドビアステッチ
Infrared Vision	レッドビジョン (reddo bijion, "Red Vision"?)
Valencian Cloth	バレンシアクロス		After cleansing Marbule with the Song of Marbule, bring a party full of demi-humans to the city and talk to the town greeter to receive this frame.
Monster's Mouth	モンスターマウス
Our Favorite Martian	星のおみやげ (hoshi no o-miyage, Souvenir from the Stars?)
