I'm having a hard time loading the theme.  If I set it as the "displays menu" theme I get a large message saying "don't use arcade flow as the displays menu layout".  When I set it as my theme for NES,  I get a large arcadeflow logo with a gray loading screen type of screen.  If I press "L" to get into the layout options menu,  all I get is the layout file name tab. 
I didn't see any special instructions in the read me file, so I put the arcadeflow folder into the themes folder. Im using AM+ with Windows 10. Anyone have any suggestions?

First you don't have to set Arcadeflow as "display menu" layout, at least that's not recommended. AF already has its display menu UI so you can use that without setting it as display menu.

The other issue seems related to the version of AM+ you are using, is it the latest build from github? You can get it from here:

https://github.com/oomek/attractplus/actions/runs/4054858529

scroll to the bottom of the screen and you'll be able to download binaries (you need to be logged with a github account).

If you still have issues, I'll need a log or the console output to debug.

zpaolo11x your work is amazing!

 I am celebrating the option "- Added option to enable/disable white border around thumbnails " but I would be even happier if there was the possibility to see the images and videos in full screen, or at least increase their size.

 I have tried to change values ​​randomly within the layout but have not achieved anything. I would be very grateful if you tell me what code I should touch, because I spent a lot of time looking for spectacular images for each game, and I want to see them bigger.

Very grateful for your great work, greetings and excuse my English from the google translator.

I got the newest AM+ (ver201) as you suggested but it did not help.  I still have the same error.
 I attached the last run log file. There is a line saying "WARNING: some options in attract.cfg clash with Arcadeflow"

I have a nested type system so I don't know if that is causing issues.
AM starts at "all displays". From there consoles, arcade, hand helds, PC games, ect... can be picked.
once in a menu (ie consoles), then a sub category can be selected. (ie NES). Then a game can be picked.

Let me know if you want the attract.cfg file also.

Thanks for taking the time to look into this.

I see in the log AF fails to construct its internal game database, this might happen if you have a layered attract mode structure. If you plan to use AF alone as a theme, then that layered structure may be not needed as AF already categorizes games by console/computer/handheld etc. To better understand the situation it will help if you can send the attract.cfg file. I'll have a look at it

[allactiondan1]

I tried a different CFG file, but still got the same loading screen error.  Attached is my CFG file.
 I setup my system to do the layered structure is by having only consoles, arcade, handhelds, ect.. show up in the main screen.  Each of those goes to a rom list with the same name.  From there, those rom lists go to each systems rom lists.  I don't know if i explained this in a way that makes sense.
Displays menu=>Consoles menu(ROM list)=>Nintendo(ROM list)=>Game

You have a non standard configuration, it can be made to work with AF with a bit of work Do you think you can share the romlists files? At least some of them so I can try to build a similar setup on my machine? I see you are also using a sort of "master" romlist approach for some displays. If the files are too much to share here, you can send me a PM on the discord server, or an email at paolo.zago@gmail.com

 I don't mind sharing my setup, but its late and I want to go to bed.  I'll email you some of my rom list files tomorrow so you can have a look.

I sent you an email with some of my rom lists. My email is allactiondan @ gmail.  Check your junk box if you don't see it.  If you need more info, let me know.
