      Is anyone working on making the menu themeable? Also is anyone working on making the rest of metadata images usable?

        Is it possible to define a background image to use for the carousel bar or if not could it be added? I realise you could just make it part of the system background but then it will either scroll or fade depending on transition style. Ideally it would remain visible and stationary at all times as a background to the carousel itself. It would perhaps also be useful for it to have it's own size/pos independent of the carousel to allow exact positioning of logos in relation to the graphic.

          @ruckage You could always just add an extra image <image name="carousel_background" extra="true">, then you can style it independently. Granted it will still fade/slide with the background image, but it's the closest you'll get to what you want.

            Yeah, I know I can do that, that's what I'm currently doing (it's what I perhaps badly described as 'make it part of the system background' - should have said 'system view' maybe) but that doesn't help with sliding/fading.

            Since it's not supported consider it a request, I think it would be a worthwhile addition.

              @Zigurana Would a left align carousel be possible?

                    Honestly I think we just need an <origin> function for the carousel.

                      I think we should be able to make extra carousels, on all of the views and also to use it for other images such as metadata, like marquees, or md_images.

                      Also an origin type function for the carousel would make the variety of nice looking carousels go up.
