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.

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

looking good, nice name.

I really like the "poster view" (upper-right) - it's my favorite view to browse media.

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.
