      This looks amazing!
      Just a suggestion, but is there a way for the boxart and the name of the game to scroll horizontally? (like in the NES Classic Edition?)

          Not possible I'm afraid, in standard ES you are limited to vertical text lists and a static screenshot/boxart.

            The newest mock looks great.

            However, I personally think the publisher and developer text belongs below the boxart. Having it near the top makes it look like it's supposed to be a title.

              Thanks, It was my first instinct as well but it looked slightly odd to me underneath as it doesn't match the other side of the screen so well. I'll upload another mockup so you can see how it looks.

                Here is the same layout with 'published by' and 'developed by' moved beneath the boxart. To me it looks unbalanced so I prefer it with that information above the boxart.

                    I personally like this one better as well... has better balance...

                      Okay, I'm confused now as to what people actually prefer. I personally like the information at the top as visually it looks more balanced to me but I will let you all decide.

                      If everyone interested could make a post stating either A or B as your preference from the image below that would be great.

                        Its close but I think B just edges it.

                                      Good suggestion Stuart, can't believe I hadn't tried that (facepalm) though as a I like symmetry I would probably do the same on the other side as well. So how about this:

                                        @ruckage I think we have a winner.

                                        Anyways make it however you like, it's your theme and if someone doesn't like it they have the XML and can make it what they want it to be. Can't please everyone ;)

                                        Fantastic theme all around.

                                            I like the new look symmetry is important, but personally on the right metadata box I'd flip it, (rating, player etc.) at the bottom, genre at the top. Also this is my personal opinion, I'd use the theme regardless.
