Pretty cool! I love the 3DS UI.
I think you should separate the objects that i've marked on another layer and use a zindex higher than the carousel, that will prevent it to fade and you can use another transition styles to create new effects, like i did on swineapple and stranger stuff.

@ectoone said in Freeplay Theme:

@rxbrad I think the latest stable version is available here: https://github.com/jrassa/EmulationStation/releases/tag/continuous

Thanks... I was able to grab ES v2.7.4 (Feb 2017 build) with that link, which is better than the v2.2.0 that I was only able to find on my own.

Interesting how the horizontal-wheel carousel apparently works on that build (was added late-January I think), but not the official build that came with Retropie v4.4 in April.
