Rom Box Art Separation

[sere83]

Hey there, just a small suggestion. Do you think devs could implement a background and separator for the box art when scrolling through the roms menus?

Looks a bit odd with the album art just floating / obstructing the text, You could cut the rom titles characters and put the rom title text on scroll left to right when highlighted so you can read all the titles maybe?

Here is a basic mockup, could this work do you think?

This is based on personal preference and depend on which box art style you use. This is achievable by changing the skin/preview-bg.png image in your current theme. And to get the padding around the box art, you could make the box art images smaller than 250 pixels. The ellipsis (...) will not be possible, since we don't have access to the source.

Maybe there is hope for implementing something like this in Tweaks theme overrides. The problem being doing something that fits with all themes. But I guess a black background will always fit.

Yes, for sure.

Hey I have OnionOS 4.0.3 installed now. Did this ever get implemented? Couldn't see in the options.
