      @lilbud fyi, the carousel theme changes have landed, but your theme is using an older version of the theme xml and will probably be broken.

      You currently have:

        <infobar name="infobar">
            <color>dddddd00</color>
            <fontColor>000000ff</fontColor>
            <fontPath></fontPath>
            <fontSize>0.035</fontSize>
          </infobar>
      

      You will want to change it to:

        <text name="systemInfo">
            <backgroundColor>dddddd00</backgroundColor>
            <color>000000ff</color>
            <fontPath></fontPath>
            <fontSize>0.035</fontSize>
          </text>

        I'll add Kodi and the Carousel changes in a little bit. The sound will be added too.

            @lilbud Is there a way of changing the background to the console itself?

              @itsnitro just add the background image to the system folders and change the path in the .xml

                Thanks!
                What I'm thinking of doing is modifying this theme so that the background looks kinda like this.0_1491958730560_gameboy_background.png It's like a flat-type theme thing.
                @Rookervik has made a bunch of these, and I'm gonna try and contact him to see if he can make more. (I don't want to rush him though.)

                    @itsnitro Or maybe the actual flat colors plus a flat or even material design representation of the system

                      @sergioad @itsnitro Just do whatever you want, I'm done with this theme until gridview is official.

                          @itsnitro I wouldn't hold your breath on that. He's been busy with work, might be faster for you to check out some Photoshop/gimp/inkscape tutorials on YouTube ;)

                            @herb_fargus Alright, I might give this a shot.
                            It's gonna be harder though with my program, Paint.net.

                                    Started to think of ideas for the carousel, I had this one as I was walking home from school. I think it looks nice.

                                      That looks cool, but the size and font of the "Games Available" section make it look awkward.

                                        @thedeathstar so, would it be better if it wasn't there? or just different font?

                                          @lilbud the font for games available needs to be way smaller. It shouldn't be the focal point, it should just be a small accent, providing a bit of information.

                                          The width of 17 Games Available should be no wider than the word SYSTEM.
