Arcade 1.0.3

Nice one Rince ? 

Excellent! The hard part is getting the artwork!

Really nice! I particularly like how the arcade cabinet uses the box art for a skin. Makes every cabinet look legitimate! I've seen something similar in the theme CoinOP, which is the marquee changing using the arcade marquee image (not sure if you're looking for suggestions/ideas, but it was something that came to mind).

Thank you. Yes I did think about having the marquee change as well but I don't think there are marquee images for a lot of console and computer platforms, but I think your right I should have it set to use them in the arcade platform, so I'll do that in the next update.

Nice! Glad that you like the idea. Like you said, it is kind of a limited usage thing (although, obviously, the arcade category is gigantic), but it looks great for the games that make use of it.

@PurpleTentacle I've added the Marquee images to just the arcade platform

Thanks! That was quick. Tried it out, loved the change! The whole thing looks great, very arcade-y. I also like that it shows the star rating for each game - that's something I always like on a theme since it helps narrow down which games to try. Appreciate it!

Nice. For the non-arcade platforms, could we have the "banner" artwork appearing in the marquee spot?

@Retrofrogg Thanks I've just taken a look at the image folders and there are more banners for platforms than I thought there were, So yes I'll definitely add that into the next update and the fallback image will be the platform clear logo as it currently is.

All done @Retrofrogg if you spot anything else please let me know.

It looks great!

We have two types of big box themes now, right? the ones that can be installed and updated from the software itself and the ones that we manually install. This one is the latter right?

@Flope Thats right, the ones on the website can be directly downloaded and installed. Where as the ones in BigBox via the Theme Manager are the same but go through a testing stage first, I have not yet uploaded it there as I prefer to get the theme to a point it doesn't need constant updates. So I will upload this theme there soon.

Absolutely love this! Thanks very much - my favorite theme!! One suggestion if you're open to improvements - a little button on the cab (or elsewise) that shows the icon for the number of supported players would be the icing on the cake!

Thank you, so glad you like it. I will definitely add your suggestion and there are a few other things I need to revise on the theme so that has given me the push I needed to get them done. Thanks again
