It actually looks really good! I'll try it out tonight. Thank you!

You should start hosting on github Kent so we can team up together for contributions. ;)

I just tested your layout. A few issues.

• Layout retains a certain aspect, so it looks very weird with black bars in my attract window. If a certain aspect is required for your layout, maybe applying some sort of crt filter would soften it up and make it less irritating.
• Display Name is shown incorrectly. My display name is called „Neo Geo“, but is displayed as „Neo“.
• I don’t understand the list organization. There is two rows, and you can go left and right of the currently displayed items, but all items on screen are replaced when you do so.
• I am testing on a i3 2.7ghz iMac with 12gb ram and moving the list left or right of what is currently displayed hangs attract mode for a few seconds. It also takes a second to redraw after you quit the screen saver. My list size is 147.
• There is no indicator of the filter applied.

This theme is a great start and I love the concept! It needs some refining. Anything I can do to help, let me know. I am unfamiliar with the conveyor module, but am decent in generic coding.
