Change the listview images to boxes instead of screenshots

[bmanhard]

How do I change the ListView images when browsing an emulator in that view to be boxes rather than title screens. Title screens vary too much from game to game and don't really make sense with that view. I'd like to have box art instead. I've attached some images to ensure I'm being clear.

2020, is the example, and I would like to be able to use the 3d box art which I just photoshopped in on the right.

There's no real way to do what you're trying to do at present, sorry.

That's a shame. It seems like a solid feature to have for viewing games in that type of view. Is this something that is a planned feature or is there a suggestion area on this website? I'd really like to see this added, it would help to make my theme look substantially more professional. I'm assuming there is no more advanced way of making this happen on the clients side? I'm assuming not as this is not an open source project.

If you point the Title snap path to your box art, it should display in the image list view. However this only looks good with square and flat images, such as Amiga CD32 box art.

You can make a feature request here if you like - http://www.gameex.in...ement-requests/

Bigby's workaround works, but it'll fubar your game info screen unless you change its label using custom labels. Its a lot of work and the changes are universal across all emulators so you'd have to change them all and not all emulators will look right. If a professional look is what you're after its a far from ideal solution.
