Alternative Views
Alternative view are views requested by users that alter the default theme. I try to fulfill requests if they are reasonable but may not update the files in newer iterations.
*use at your own risk*
Futurestate no info wheelgamesview.zip - This is a 4:3 Game View that removes all text over top of the game video.
Futurestate Themes
*Download the skins in the Themes download tab
There are a few variations for skinning Futurestate in the works. To use these create backup of your existing Images/Theme folder and copy the contents of the zip files over top of the original locations.
Put my Photoshop skills to the test! Request one and I will see what I can do!
**These files over write the default Futurestate skin!

What's New in Version 4.1 See changelog
Released
- Rewrote Platform Wheel 1 and Platform Wheel 3 to include some game details under the cover flow wheel. Added some optimization in loading data by creating image based shadows
- Dropped the frame rate on the Futurestate Animated video for smoother navigation (60fps version is still in the images folder)
-Removed the video from the option menu, I think there is a bug that compounds the video every time you enter the options menu, this was leading to degraded performance after 2-3 trips to the options menu
-Updated some of the PNGs with a slightly different style
-Added a different font and a new font dll so users no longer need to install the themes fonts
Whats to come
-Finish updating all existing views with
-Add HexControls Screenshots to Detail Views
-Full screen video theme background views using horizontal coverflow
-Implement Ao.Bigbox.Themer.dll to add it's awesome video control
-May come up with an original skin
