      Recently started making a theme for the grid view.
      I still have a bunch of assets to make like system/cartridge icons. Progress has been good so far :)

      The system images are by Evan Amos over on Wikipedia

      The cartridge icons are just placeholders at the moment and are by blinkybill.
      Eventually I will replace these with my own.

        That's beyond amazing.

        In case you didn't come up with one yet.
        If I had to give it a name, it would be "es_theme_tiletop"

        TileTop because of the background and the way the consoles, and the games are sorted (like on top of a tile floor).

        When you're finished, make sure you make it official for not only RetroPie, but all of the other systems (because it's a criminal waste if other Retro Systems don't use this).

          How is the dynamic searching with this list type in larger game collections?

            @h2805270 Ya, I'm still deciding on a name. I'll keep yours in mind though 👍

              @chicuelo gets a little choppy when it speeds up on lower end hardware, but runs fine on my laptop

                @androido7 It´s a good point. I was thinking more about the time it takes searching inside big gamelists with a grid view. Visually it´s way better than a traditional list, but maybe it gets a little bit "netflix" going trough titles

                  I'd love to test this on a raspberry pi when you are ready for beta testers.
