      @graphicsgod is your full theme code up on github? I can try to help recreate with that and see what may be up.

      First possible idea is that it may be a zindex issue. Have you tried removing the background setting altogether and see if the image shows up then?

            After a few days of breaking it and fixing it, I was able to get it working!! I have all three working at the same time! Boxart, Marquee, and video snaps.

            I'm going to get some more systems mocked up and release a demo video for anyone interested..

                @mikeandbirgit I can see where you're coming from but that isn't really accurate. That's certainly similar in concept but based on retro magazines. It is really slick and I use it often.

                The theme I'm aware of that's close to a coffee book layout is @alphatoanant 's ArtBook one.

                  I think the work you are doing @Graphicsgod is really nice and unique enough to stand on its own. I like the direction this is going and glad you were able to figure out what was happening with the images. Looking forward to seeing more of this and I am totally up for helping if you need anything. Keep up the great work!

                    Ok Heres where I am thus far.. Oh and the quality of the video is due to the screen recorder I used.

                    I'm still trying to figure out what to do for GBA and the books being open for some that aren't shown. And the helper images and the Famicom logo are just temporary, I still have to go back and redo them for higher quality. By the time I'm done, I want to have this ready to go for as many systems as I can think of and have all the images, videos, and gamelist files all in one package! The only thing you will have to do is download your own ROMs.

                    Let me know what you think!

                            Sorry been stretched a little thin as of late.. been busy working on my car, working in general, and GF.. I sat down last night and did some work on a few systems. But not enough is done for me to show it off in it's current state. I noticed the book pages perspective was a little off, so I redid them. Which slowed me down a bit having to edit each individual layers of pages and make sure it's readable at both close up and far away.

                            I hope to have something to show in the next week or so!! Just stay tuned!! Thanks for the support!!

                              Thanks everyone!! Your support means a lot!! It's definitely giving me the kick in the ass I need to get more done on it!!

                              It started as an idea, and now it's becoming more and more real as I go! The fun part is figuring out what each book would look like if they existed, and trying not to make it look stupid or silly.

                              I'm still not happy with the PSX pages, so when inspiration hits me, I'll try to redo them.
