This is the theme I'm currently using...combination of Nevato/ArcadeBliss/Maelstrom for a vertical orientated cabinet.

I think we need a list of themes that work with vertical orientations for us odd-balls. :)

Sorry to take this off track but just saw this AM layout you did a few months back.
Is it something you have up for dowload?
And how did you manage to get all the different emulators to run from the same layout screen? Or are you scrolling left/right as well?
 That would be a fantasic option instead of multiple emulator layout screens.

I run attractmode on all 4 of my RPis, with curated sets of systems and games on each one.

All use dedicated small TFT screens, ranging from a 2.2" to 7".

That being said, I find that Cools Layout with its elegant simplicity and ease of configuration, running full video backgrounds makes it the most suitable and attractive option for my systems.

The lack of clutter and strong visual appeal makes it immensely suitable for small screen portables like mine. I have adjusted the layout to show full background video snaps, and just the title logo. It makes it easy to instantly preview the games on a small screen.

There is a lack of layouts with small screens in mind, and i thank the creator of Cools Layout for sharing this wonderful work.

I have not tried it on small layout yet, one project at a time for me lol

I know eventually I will do a 7 or 10inch portable version for when we are away on camping trips

All the theme's are great no disrespect to any themer or coder here, its all personal preference what people are doing with their pie.

probably I should of not posted this poll as I don't want any theme'r to feel bad or send the wrong msg across this is the theme you should use  because of more people using it.

*blush*

You should thank the Hyperspin artwork and Emu-movies guys. If it wasn't for their efforts making the assets we'd all be stuck with stinking ugly lists.

I should look at my layout again now all the animation stuff is mainline, it always felt a little static.

I always seem to settle on some variation of Orbit.
