I'm happy it looks like MCE, it started out as a MCE add-in and I found out about it on thegreenbutton site, no mention of it back then on BYOAC. I use it with MCE in my living room but when I get around to building a arcade cabinet I'll change the theme and be happy that I can use the same front end so I can copy my config files over and be good to go!
I agree about keeping it clean, but on mine (to go back to the point of this thread) I would probably take the regular background image and add a controller image to the left side as a way to force the controller setup into each seperate emulator without needing a selectable link to a html app.
I like this idea too, it could even be simpler naming, like the default map files. When it comes to things like backgrounds, contol setup pics etc... the more options Tom can give us the better, even if they're all turned off by default so that it doesn't get too confusing for people starting out with the program.
Tom, I like this Help and Controls Idea, I use Playstation2 controllers for all my different emulators on my MCE computer, with this I could take a different picture of the PS2 controller and what buttons are used for each emulator. This would rock. And then when I finally build a cab I could have my button layout with each emulator's buttons on seperate pics as well! Would this html app link be below add to favorites as you suggested earlier in the tread? Anyway to just include the html app below the Add To Favorite (so the pic is always there, not just a link to it)?
