        What are you looking for in a theme? Do you just have arcade games? Do you specifically want a theme with an arcade look?

        I love Tronkyfran for a professional clean look. It is so nice and clear with hi-res pictures of the different systems.

        At the moment I am using pixel because it looks great and has nice big areas for the scraped pictures to display. But I also like tomahawks futura dark. It shows a few game screenshots for the systems in the main menu which is great for people who don't know alot of retro systems to get a look at the style of games and graphics each system has

        Not of they are what you are after but just some of my favourites :)

          @retroprogrammer Your question is difficult to answer because it mostly depends on personal taste. Did you look at the Theme Gallery for a theme that you like?

          I'm using Comic Book 4:3 for my upright cabinet, by the way.

              @retroprogrammer I've found that I personally love Showcase. I have tried quite a few others but I always come back to it. Just my opinion. :)

              Enjoy the ride!
