ArcadeBliss - Cab Edition: 2016-05-16 Update
ArcadeBliss:
Since I "completed" my original ArcadeBliss theme for use in my bartop, it was time to create something for my full-size cab. Since my full-size cab only has one admin button - ESC, I needed a way for people to navigate the front-end in a cab environment only using a joystick, one select button, and the esc button. As opposed to my previous Hyperspin setup, ease-of-use was the top motivator.

Very nice work, it looks very cool :)
This of course means that FLAT BLUE will be delayed even longer as I go and steal some of your ideas! :P

Go for it. While I am working on the search menu, I have no problem letting you have the WIP code.

This is truly top notch work! And I was already a fan of your previous 'arcadebliss' layout, which I had posted about as well and currently use on my pc. The only thing that concerns me (with this newer version) is the very large menu underneath the videos. It seems to be taking up a lot of space, and what I wondered was, is this menu going to be included in the default layout? In other words, will the user always have to look at the "Add Favorite" "Choose Filter" "Change Panel" etc. ? This seems to be more of an "options" menu, rather than something that should stay on the screen all of the time, while the user is scrolling through the videos/gamelist. Just some observations/suggestions for what appears to be another amazing layout for attractmode :D

I understand your points. Yes the menu will always be there - it is part of the layout. In effect, I created custom menus that have nothing to do with the built-in attractmode functionality.
I have guests using my cab who have no idea how to navigate a frontend. I used to use hyperspin and it was always difficult for my guest to change panels, filters, or just plain search for games. My goal with this layout was to ensure anyone with the ability to turn on my cab will be able find games and just play.
In any case, your points are giving me some inspiration for a third layout :)
