You can enable sound and change color of the arrow in the layout options of each display.

Hi, not sure why the layout looks like it does on your setup. It's supposed to look like this if you use the horizontal menu and have clock set to on. What resolution are you running? You are missing the title etc.

Hi Steven,
You need to download the descriptions files again from the link i posted. They are now .txt files instead of .cfg. Delete the sub folders with the old description in the romlist folder and just drop the contents of the zip file i linked earlier so that you get the scraper folder inside the attract folder.
Show a screen shot of where you are missing the clock and I'll take a look.
Cheers

Hi Steven, never seen or heard of a white screen problem before. Are you running PC? Which background option do you have for the main menu?
If you upgrade AM to 2.4 you need to replace the game description files. Delete all sub folders in attract/romlist and drop the contents of this zip file into the attract folder. https://mega.nz/#!2AkkAYbI!7VigZqYOb5Ab8S9mLrs6ds52gTM2Y2c9If15vA8L0Y8

Yeah I know. Instructions are long overdue. As it is now it's a bit of a mess since this has been the theme I learned from. As soon as I want to try something new i expand the layout options available and rewriting the options (which is really needed to make it easy to use) would be a major headache. There are many nut files to edit and things that might break. I also don't want to turn this into "work". With three kids I'm happy to have a few occasional hour when the rest of family is asleep to tinker with this stuff 
With that said I'm glad you like the theme and I'm here to answer any questions.

Updated again with drop shadow and glow behind snap options thanks to code from dukpoki's Frostbite theme. https://mega.nz/#!KF0C0SiR!WOmTzlAYqIUrkNtTeU6l8FAJQ1uBnqY7fgQj22klSWI

Now with "ambiance" as background option thanks to zpaolo11x. Make sure you get version 2.4.1 from the Attract Mode website as well. Delete the old HP2 theme folders before extracting these folders into attract\layouts
This version also allows per display layout options meaning all layout options can be set differently for different displays. Like you probably don't want cart art for arcade based systems and so on.
There's also a background option named per display which will show a background matching the selected system in most cases.
The best way to customize your layouts is to assign a button to "Layout Options" in the AM settings. This is a new feature for AM 2.4 and pressing that button will take you directly to the layout options which now can be set independently of other displays.
Oh, and btw you can select which HP2 layout you want in the layout options now so you can replace the "toggle layout" button with "layout options" instead. The selected view is stored in the attract.am file so make sure to keep a backup of that file when you have setup AM the way you want it.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. Really appreciate it I copy pasted the exact same values you have so it should be the same as in Arcade Flow:
I guess this is the size of the prescaled picture
local smallsize = 32
local blursize = 1/32.0
Is this where I set the amount of blur?
local shaderH1 = fe.add_shader( Shader.Fragment, "gauss_kernsigma.txt" )
shaderH1.set_texture_param( "source")
shaderH1.set_param("kernelZ", 11.0, 2.5)
shaderH1.set_param("offsetFactor", blursize, 0.0)
xsurf1.shader = shaderH1
local shaderV1 = fe.add_shader( Shader.Fragment, "gauss_kernsigma.txt" )
shaderV1.set_texture_param( "source")
shaderV1.set_param("kernelZ", 11.0, 2.5)
shaderV1.set_param("offsetFactor", 0.0, blursize)
xsurf2.shader = shaderV1

I "borrowed" your ambiance code for a new background option in the HyperPie 2 theme. Hope that is ok otherwise I'll remove it!
Anyway, do you know if it is possible to reduce the flickering when using video snaps?
