This looks cool, will it handle video previews?

[pacdude]

It's built for that! In the Arkanoid preview, that's a scraped video.

Dig it! Really love the video combined with a prominent picture too. Great work!

This is looking awesome. Love the way the system view is laid out. Very sharp.

Next question: is there a way to put the highlighted game name in plain text somewhere? Is that a variable?

[HurricaneFan]

@pacdude Not that I know of. The name only exists in the gamelist.

@hurricanefan Thank you!

A few more tweaks, to the game view: https://twitter.com/pacdude/status/903302557824667649

I asked one of our great coders the same question a few days ago and the answer is: No.
But it might be possible that we will get that when grid view arrives, because, from what I've read, that comes with md_gamename and maybe that will be available outside of grid view.

A workaround might be to use a second gamelist just as big enough to show one game. I just thought of that so I don't know if it's possible to even have one element multiple times.

Any updates on this theme? Really looking forward to running it on my pi, looks fantastic.

@ectoone I'm pretty sure you can only display a single gamelist.

[EctoOne]

@mattrixk yep, you're right. well, it was an idea that i never tried before. :)

@pacdude Any update on your new theme?
