            for those who cant decide lol :P

            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.

                        I'd agree with this.

                          Oops, forgot to label the mystery box but that seems to be the most popular. Here's one last change then as requested, I've swapped 'rating/played/players' with 'genre'.

                            Im glad you like my mock-up AB, just after i realised that, it would look better if the ratings was balanced out on the right box , but obviously you had the same idea as me lol,

                            "C" is my favorite, if i was you i would just go ahead and make those changes and then release the next version :)

                                    I'm adding to the pile, but since you look at the box art first, wouldn't having the Rating/Played/Players work better on the right?

                                    As a bonus, it starts matching the the tiled layout on the mini:

                                      Thanks for the feedback everyone, I appreciate it.

                                      I think we could go on forever rearranging things and everyone would have there own idea of which looks best so I'm going to go for option D as the official layout.

                                      However what I'm going to try and do is make it so that the positioning of those elements is super easy to modify for those who would like to do so (it will probably be a single line change in the main XML with instructions for how to change it in the readme) does this sound like a good idea?

                                            As I said I will be making it very easy to customize so everyone can set it up how they like, it will mean editing an XML file but it will be no more than changing a single entry.

                                            For ease it will probably be an xml called layout.xml that will need changing and you would just change a line that will look something like this:

                                            <include>./../layout_a.xml</include>

                                            And you would only need to change the 'layout_a.xml' to 'layout_b.xml' to have a different layout (I will include a picture showing the different layouts with the corresponding letter for each).
