Hi faeran, I'm loving the new Retrotastic, it's much more optimized compared to the previous versions. You really did a great job!
I'd like just to give some feedback:
In the theme manager inside Bigbox, this version is still not recognized, so it'll flag a "fake" update alert.
In this version I can use the theme even in a 21:9 resolution and custom scaling on Windows and everything will work flawless regardless. This is awesome! For the previous version I would need to constantly lower my resolution to Full HD and 100% scale factor before opening BB, or the theme would not work correctly (carts/disc would fall below the screen, etc).
Something to consider: The front box of games are loading too fast, now the user can't see the custom background art, because it will appear after the front box is already in place. I'd like to suggest you to tweak this to be similar to the previous versions, when the custom background would always load first and after a short delay the front box and cartridge would appear.
My all time favorite theme just got a huge update/overhaul, what a day!
This theme has it all:
It's gorgeous;
It's well optimized;
It has a lot of parts that you can customize;
It has an absurd amount of beautiful custom art made by @Scratcher.
Stop reading this and go get it! I guarantee you won't regret!
Huge thanks for @faeran and everybody that contributed to this!
These game background really makes Retrotastic shine even more! They are so well done, fits so perfectly!
Thank you Scratcher for making and sharing your work!!!
