      I still believe that the the carousel already has some unique features that could look awesome if it was available as extra element in detailed view.

      What features are you thinking of ?

        @a12c4 since I want to use it as graphical element (not just for navigation), I like it that we can create curved carousels. And I like how fluid the scrolling animation is. But like I said, I've not seen grid view in action yet, so maybe it's the same.

          @ectoone There is no scrolling animation at the moment, it's on the todo list.

          Do you know any theme actually using the carousel wheel ?

            @a12c4 I'm not sure if there is one available to download, i have at least one that had a wheel on the side but it might have been a mockup. The only other ones I can think of are the ones i showed here (scroll down to see the Metroid version) but since horizontal_wheel wasn't available at that time i stopped working on it.
            I also don't know if enough people even know that we have the option to do curved carousels to implement it.
            I got an crazy idea for a graphical wheel that would probably look awesome if it would appear on system and detailed view. Maybe i can find some time to create it at least for system view at do a mockup of detailed view. Although there is one thing i want to do, which i'm actually not sure that it would work. And i also might have some issues with my poor graphic editing skills. :D

              Space Oddity is one I know of off hand that is available through retropie-setup. I think there may be a couple of others.

                Videos that can be placed into a folder and used as a screensaver. I don't have scraped videos for my games but would love to use mp4 videos without sound as a screensaver for my system. Just a wish for the list, and I appreciate all the work that has gone into Retropie!

                  @ckidwell If you don't have videos for your games, you could place your screensaver videos in the images folder and name them like they belong to existing roms (romname-video.mp4). Then they will be used for the screensaver.

                      Adding Stroke/Outline to Textlist is a huge please from me. I'm creating a theme with a textlist (colour white) that overlaps an image, if there is white is the image then the textlist becomes unviewable.

                      In general I think a stroke/outline on md_ objects would come in handy for a lot of themers, give it more of a ummf when displaying any data on screen. Little bit of spice :)

                        It would be great a graphic load/save state indicator with pics. When you press select + left or right on Retroarch, you could get a small box on the bottom with the actual slot and the preview of the saved states and the empty ones.

                          @chicuelo great idea!

                          Your theme is also great chicuelo.
                          Over the years i only used two themes: Carbon NoMeta and yours. Thank you for that 👍
