      @FlyingTomahawk I've started playing around with the Universal XML Scraper and I really like the idea of having full screen fanart, box art and screenshot for each game. So my theme will have to work in conjunction with a special MIX profile for the scraper. I have the basic design worked out, but before I can go any further I need to learn how to make my own MIX profile. I'll get there, I just don't have much free time in which to do it.

        @mattrixk said in NewGen theme?:

        it can be a hassle to access the images outside of the api

        I took a look around that site and they have really a good selection of pics. I made an account but cannot figure out how to get the images in their original file size.
        You can see the smaller thumbs which would be enough I guess but every image has the resolution written on the bottom-left and that is the resolution I would like to get if possible. If you know any trick to get the images please enlighten me.

          @FlyingTomahawk You can right-click on an image and open in new tab. The URL of the image has a string of characters on then end that gives a max width and height. You can change those numbers to the ones you want and hit enter. Like I said, it's a bit of a hassle, but it's doable.
