@faeran Didn't you have a second version of this theme that put together the banners using image assets on the fly? 

That's the version that's live right now.

Ohhhh ok gotcha.  so for platforms and Playlist and categories though, we can still use all the images we already made for those right?  it'll just be the games that are put together on the fly?

Could you release a version with a quicker speed of the game transition from selection, to displaying all of the details of the game?  I think you did this for the first version as well way back.  It is the first thing I noticed again lol.  Sorry.
