@pjft 1. Yup, i have that all resolved on my arcade build with the screensaver ES. I am running a 320 spit with my VRAM at 120 and it works perfectly. So no real issues for me, if i share the theme, people who have not updated may experience lag or white screen if they don't read the instructions to update the split and VRAM. Issue seems to be resolved without modifications on the new ES - not worth your time to deal with this.
2. Probably not worth your time. It is an issue for sure, but mostly a backwards compatibility issue. I can build it on my screensaver ES and update it on my Main Branch ES - the only issue will be backwards compatibility, it might breaks some peoples themes if they are running outdated ES builds.
3. Understood! No need for you to waste time on this. I think what would be the best result would be trying to get @fieldofcows with your modifications OMX option and Screensaver stuff to the main branch! I love how there is simply an option to turn OMX on or off, as well as the screen savers. Really this update gives ultimate flexibility and allows you to run the Main Branch and then turn on and off the updates! i know you guys are both busy....so i will cross my fingers for future incorporation.

Thanks again for all your hard work and responses!
