          @lilbud Totally down to download this theme when you are ready to release it. Fits my setup perfectly :)

            Getting everything finalized before I start this crazy endeavor. Thinking of layouts for the theme. Here is what I have for the video view:

            Thoughts?

                Here is another video mockup:

                I was thinking of having the marquee overlap the video slightly.

                  Can you send the photoshop files here? If not, you can email them here: nitrorydr62@gmail.com
                  I wanna try and take a stab at making a mockup.

                      @lilbud is that a vinyl in the background? Either way I love it.

                        @appex Yes it is. I only recently got my first turntable and started to collect vinyl.

                        Unfortunately, I have little space for records, so most of my music collection is digital. Also, since I have no permanent setup, listening to them is difficult at the moment. Sometimes I'm too lazy to set it up and listen to an actual record and would rather listen on my phone.

                              I got the theme done, but it won't work for some reason. I think I'd be best for a second set of eyes to look at this and find out why the errors are showing up.

                                For some reason the image in your square_layout.xml is causing issues. Weird thing is, if i remove it for testing, the paths for the font and rating images are broken...

                                Edit 1: Oh, first error found you forgot the / in the closing image tag.
                                Edit 2: Fixed the pathing error.
                                I've send you a PR but idk because detailed view looks like its not done.
                                Edit 3: I've noticed that the virtualboy logo is red, is that on purpose?

                                  1. What do you mean by the detailed view looks like it's not done
                                  2. I'll fix the Virtual Boy logo a bit later, I'm not home right now.

                                    @lilbud It's totally messed up (at least on my windows build), no background, image in a weird location and kinda big, description has like a font size of 100 and appears in the bottom left corner. That is what I can remember. Besides fixing the problems, I had no time to look at the code. Also horizontal layout looked the same. Can't post a screen shot because I'm as well not home. :D

                                        Is video view suppose to look like this?
                                        alt text
                                        I mean was thinking about placing the video in a corner on top of the cover, instead of using marquees, at one point but this looks kinda wrong.

                                        Also, are you avoiding the option for a default theme when a system is missing on purpose or why is your main xml not named theme.xml?

                                        Aww, sadly the outlined selector you had in your preview is not in the final release. I was courious how you did that, because i really liked that.

                                          The video is supposed to be in the same place as the video and the marquee is supposed to be under the gamelist. Not sure why that is not working.

                                          I'm not exactly sure on how to add a default theme

                                          I couldn't get the outlined selector to work for some reason.

                                            @lilbud I can take a look at the marquee thing tonight if you want.

                                            For the default theme to work, your main xml file just needs to be named theme.xml.
                                            So you just have to rename it and replace all the include paths in your system xmls.

                                            What did you tried for the selector? An image i guess, because that's what i just tried and worked. I just had to make the width very big to avoid an ugly stretching on the sides.

                                            Also the freeze bug seems to be fixed on my end with the latest windows version, but i just did a quick test, yet it feels way faster then before.

                                            Edit: I forgot to mention that the marquee is below the gamelist, which makes the gamelist very small on detailed view I find. It looks good on video view only the cover needs to be removed.
