Thank You @Mr. Skerpentine yes the Star Ratings were not working and only the fall back image was being displayed so I never picked it up.

As for the spelling mistake I still can not see it, so could you let me know cheers.

IIRC there was a typo in the fallback text for system & game notes. It says "Unfortunetly" instead of "Unfortunately".

 

Also I've noticed that a few systems still don't have their Star Ratings fixed. Notably:

3DO Interactive Multiplayer, Amstrad CPC, NEC TurboGrafx-CD, Nintendo 64, Nintendo 64DD, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Famicom Disk System, Nintendo Game & Watch, Nintendo Game Boy, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, Nintendo Game Boy Color, Nintendo Virtual Boy, Sega CD, Sega Dreamcast, Sega Saturn, SNK Neo Geo Pocket Color, Sony PlayStation, and Super Nintendo Entertainment System

Really loving this theme.

One small suggestion or request I would ask would be a modified platform wall view that use 4:3 aspect images in the grid.

For platforms like arcade that might not have box images, even when you include screenshots in image priorities for box front images, because of the normal aspect for box fronts the images display too small.

Hey @Headrush69 really glad your loving the theme.

 

With regards the 4:3 aspect for the wallview there are actually 3 versions being used. Portrait, Square and Landscape. The only trouble is they are assigned per platform and Arcade I used the Portrait. So as a fix you could copy one of the views from the wallview folder like the 3DO version which uses the square ones or the SNES version that uses landscape ones. You would simply copy the one you want and rename it Arcade.

Just for reference the way I assigned them was to look at the box front of every platform and catogorize them in those 3 types and most of mine for Arcade must of been portrait, there are some platforms that use both so in that instance I went with which ever had the most of one type. Hope that makes sense. Ideally I would of liked it to be dynamic.

Thanks for that, it makes total sense. 

I guess I didn't go into enough or the right platforms to notice the difference.

I guess for platforms like Arcade that have a mix of portrait and landscape screens there is no perfect decision but I am satisfied with copying a square based xml to Arcade.xml. Just provides a little bigger image in general and faster for quick scanning for games in that view.

Thanks.
