ES Video within the grid view

Hey @A12C4 any new news on further production of grid view?

A12C4

@paffley Not really, haven't touched to my pi since months, just enjoying summer.

@A12C4 that's cool, yeh we've had a great summer aint we up to now! loving it!

One little question for ya.
In the current grid view, is there an option to keep it centered at all times or has that not applied as yet, I know you was talking about it previously. I was hoping to have the grid single horizontal and the selected item stays in the middle.

I was needing it as: horizontal - 5 items - 3rd item always in middle (apart from the start and end obviously)
I know @EctoOne created a theme where it stays centered but I believe his only had 3 items so not sure if possible (math) to use 5 items across.

EctoOne

@paffley it doesn't stay centered on my theme. it may look so, but when you start it, the top tile will be selected then it will stay in the middle until it reaches the end.

Hi @EctoOne yeh that was the approach I was wanting, is it possible to have it horizontal across the screen with 5 items and it stays in the center when scrolling (after the first 2 goes from left to right)

I think I can answer that for you. It's exactly how I'm doing it on my snes/nes mini themes (single row of 5 tiles) and the selected game will be the centre icon except for at the beginning and end of the game list.

@paffley @EctoOne @ruckage I will add an option so it is always centered (even when at the beggining or the end of the list).

Many theme creators have asked for it and would make a great usage of it, so I changed my mind.

Sweet thanks @ruckage

That's great news @A12C4 cant wait to test, can you let us know when its updated on dev build please. Thank you!
