        Hi great theme.
        Can you make the crt-bezel.svg file in tate (vertical) mode.
        I exported the file in png with Inkscape program to rotate it but I can't do it properly with the svg format.

          @lolo totally

          I just pushed an update to github with svgs for the bezel (crt-bezel-tate.svg) and the screen (crt-screen-tate.svg)

          You can find them both in the /_inc/images directory now

          Hope that helps!

              • Finishing up UXS profiles to streamline metadata scraping
              • Starting to experiment with grid view layouts. Here is a preview...

              With Metadata

              No Metadata

              What do you think?

                @alphatoanant Wow that looks awesome too. Can Wheel art be used instead of boxes?

                  Experimenting with Grid Layouts a bit more

                  Using Screenshots instead of Boxart
                  alt text

                  No Meta Version
                  alt text

                  @Dominus thinking something like this?
                  alt text
                  I think it would be possible as long as the image scraped for each game is the wheel art (vs say the screenshot or boxart)

                  Main thing I am running into now is getting a version of grid view ES set up on windows to test with. Hoping to sort that out soon.

                      I was really set on using the nes mini theme on my snes classic build. This theme is just too good though.... especially now that I sourced out a crt tv to play on. Really good job on it!

                        @alphatoanant Yeah like that. I am also wondering about Videos? Can you use videos, and the one that is highlighted will have the sound on that video?

                          @Dominus I don't believe so. From what I understand gridview does not support the playback of video.

                            Hi there, wondering if anyone can help? I have a gamelist set up for all consoles, and know it works as the OldRoom theme shows video previews correctly, but within the CRT theme, the audio from the video snap plays, but there is no video being displayed? Any ideas? Thanks.

                              @hoodle you might want to start a separate topic, but yesterday there was a similar report.

                              It might be video encoding, resolution, or you may need to update EmulationStation. I believe the last one solved it in that case.

                                thank you @pjft

                                @hoodle here is the thread with the details on what to try (possibly a need to update emulationstation)

                                If that doesn't work out just let me know and i'll try to help further no worries

                                  @alphatoanant @pjft That worked perfectly (the ES update). Cheers for the help!

                                    @alphatoanant The Grid view is amazing!!! I thought this wasn't possible in ES and was abandoned..? Is it possible to do now or is it just a mockup?

                                      @andershp just a mockup for now working off the details listed in the gridview thread. Sadly I am not sure if grid view is still being worked on - I hope it is but haven't found any updated details recently. I'll continue working on the grid aspect of the theme on my windows test build to get things sorted if grid view does start up again.

                                        @alphatoanant Allright, well they're working a lot on improving ES all the time, maybe grid view will come some day.
                                        Looks super sharp, I think.
