What you guys think?

Very nice.
Just one thing - but it's a personal preference - I would skip that shadow under artwork. It work against overall simplicity/flatness of the theme. I mean - you can leave the shadow, but I would go more into "artwork laying on table" then "hovering over 3D plane in perspective". So subtle shadow around all edges would be more suitable.
---
And I don't understand what's the idea behind that left/right arrows - it seems against user experience. I would try to move stick left/right to change game - based on the arrow presence. But the up/down direction is more appropriate, because of the use of wheel graphics vertical list.
-
The left and right arrows is just an idea for quick change system.. but I'm thinking in a new solutions now ;)
-
And the game snap looks great - is it a self-made screenshot with some kind of HLSL filter in place?

Thanks, It's a snap with a custom scanline filter that i've made for this theme. ;D
-
That's even better :D
-
Very nice this theme 8)
-
nice I like
-
looking good, nice name.
I really like the "poster view" (upper-right) - it's my favorite view to browse media.
-
Nicely done! Very complete looking and a very polished design :D
-
Very nice. I would great if the row view had a smooth scroll. I have not seen any layout with that.
-
Nice theme, really good! Just one question, how to use the System theme.

Nice theme, really good! Just one question, how to use the System theme.
There is two ways.
Fast way: use left and right arrows (or any key / controller stick / arcade lever) to change to next system that are in order on attract.cfg file.
Cool way: click "Y" (or any configured key) for open a new screen with a system list instead of game selection wheel -> select the system, and click "A" to open the game list of that system.
The 3rd screen, shows the system screen at the time you are selecting the system on left menu.
-
Great looking layout. I really like to see the custom system screen vs. the default display menu. I think that there are very few people that are doing this and it makes a big difference IMO.

Hi Spinelli, let me know which kind of help do you need for the coding :)

haha! PtiWee my theme's companion ;D
I am like Jon Snow, the case code "I know nothing," then I will need just about every help i can get! hahaha: P
-
PtiWee, gimme your e-mail to I send you the .PSD file of this theme (with rules, layers, etc).
-
Am I right in thinking this theme isn't actually available yet?

Yes, we are working on it.
-
That is so freakin awesome! I want it now lol! Please.

We're working on it.
Due to the Attract Mode API limitation, we are facing some implementation difficulties. Since we want the theme to be as close as possible to the layout I made, PtiWee that is helping me with the code is making a huge effort to get around those limitations. But this generates a longer deadline than we would like to deliver the theme.
Stay connected we are giving our best!
-
Maybe try and do it in parts? Start with just the game selection view (using AM system menus to switch systems), release that to get test/feedback, then try and implement the system selection menu?
-
This is pretty much the exact type of theme i'm looking for. Any update on time of release?
-
Looking forward to this theme, i'm just waiting for this theme to be done so i can finish setting up my attract-mode :3
-
Hey, I've been looking into this theme and doing a little work. If you need some help - send me a message! I have a few extras I'm working on for it :)

Millercentral is helping me and Ptiwee with this theme, especially at this time of year that we have few free have time.
It would be great to receive help from another person.
You can contact the Millercentral and combine what you can do for help. Thanks!
-
I'm working on a CustomList module which would allow you to create a list for displays or filters for those overlays, and I also put together a "search overlay" module that can be plugged in pretty easily. I'll give Millercentral a shout and see what is needed.
-
Is this theme dead?
Spinelli could you post the files somewhere? I'd like to take a crack at it.

I'm just the creator and the theme designer, I've sent the PSD for the PtiWee and Millercentral to code this project, but so far I haven't had a return of the stage of the development.
If you want, you can try to send a private message to them and see what's the help them need, even, take over, if necessary.
All my themes are open source and collaborative, so anyone interested can be part of the team.
Thanks

OK - I messaged them. I will let you know what they say.
-
Absolutely love this design.
I hope there will be a full theme sometime. :)
Is there a way to show Game Description in Attract Mode? Didn't know about that. (Apart from history.dat in Mame/Arcade)
Hope This one Makes progress. Maybe some Features could be added in the Future so that there is a solid simple base theme which shouldn't take too long.. :)
Man i wish i could code.. :)
-
So for months I have no contact with the codders about the stage of development.
In fact, I think it was abandoned.
If someone has talent, and is willing to continue this theme, please contact PM.
If any of the coders who embraced the early project can give me any light, please do so.

That is the thing with AM ... difficult to make themes
