Some details:
There is still much work to accomplish: a lot of banners to make and I want to customize games lists like the systems UI. 

I'll be on holidays for more than a week, and so, if there're some bugs (or other things), please wait .
You can make banners yourselves if you want to. It's relatively easy: create a .PNG with the same dimensions as others and name it as you want. You can also copy the blank .png (like SNK NeoGeo per example) for any other plateform I didn't cover.  

Don't hesitate to post your comments here

Looks awesome!

will check it out later and see if it looks good as wel on my 4:3 bartop setup. I sure hope so!

is it possible to switch between "recent" and "favourites" in the bottom box?

Then... you will be disappointed...
This isn't working on a 4:3 monitor. Because all the UI was designed for 16:9, everything will be stretched. 
For 4:3, we have to remake every element and adjust it in every .xaml. Like create a new theme, in fact.  

But it's something I will work on later, I think. It will stays in the back of my mind and won't go away if I don't do anything about it 

For the question about the "Favorites" box, not for the moment... But I plan to add a lot of tweaks and it may be a new option, yes.

Awesome  love at first sight confirmed.

A first update in order to avoid the problem of Favorites and/or Recent games. Thanks to @AeronNL
Also, I fixed some visual bugs and added a header bar. I prefer like that, Better visual impact.  

I've a ton of new ideas for this theme, it's far from finished

really nice the blinking arrow in the recent bar is a nice touch .

[niglurion]

there are 3 blinking arrows in whole, it depends on the view (two in the header bar, one in the bottom). And it's here from the beginning.

Glad you notice that  (really)

Great job!!! It's very very beautiful

Last update (0.5.3) before I leave: 

Because I was not satisfied with the wheel views, I changed the looking of the UI and adjusted backgrounds size according to it. I think it's the best and main view of this theme now. 
From now, I will work on games views for a release around the end of the next week. 

Sorry for these multiple updates, but I am rarely happy of what I'm doing. I always want to fixe/change/correct/reajust a lot of things... 

EDIT: A video:
