Configuration Options

• The theme has a simple set of options that can be changed directly from the UI Settings menu of ES-DE
• Theme Variant - sets the layout used for the sytem gamelist views. There are 3 variants to choose from:
  • Default - Default view that displays system and gamelist metadata for each view
  • No Hue - The same as the Default view, but no blue/purple hue is applied to the system and fan art overlays
  • Simple - A minimalistic view with no metadata in the system or gamelist views
  • Simple With Cover Art - A minimalistic view with no metadata in the system or gamelist views (with cover art)
• Theme Aspect Ratio - sets the aspect ratio the theme will render at. If needed, this can be changed to match the aspect ratio of your screen (though it should happen automatically).
  • 16:9 and 16:10 are supported

Additional Notes

Scraping:

• This theme looks best when the following are set to be scraped under Scraper > Content Settings:
  • Game Names
  • Ratings
  • Other Metadata
  • Videos
  • Box Cover Images
  • Marquee (Wheel) Images
  • Fan Art Images
• Other media is optional and will be used in cases where one of the above is missing (for example Screenshot images will be used if Videos are missing)

Per game cabinet art:

• This theme supports using a unique cabinet or TV images for each game
• I have made a set of these images available via a theme addon here: https://github.com/TheGrizzMD/coinops-es-de-addons
