Felt like showing off a heavily modified version of the Iisu Interpreted theme by MrVictorFull on github! I liked where they were going with things, though there were a fair few visual and sound tweaks that needed doing! I've basically turned my whole desktop into a frontend (which has been surprisingly practical, actually!)
I'd love to hear any input on the look and sound of things, as a lot of it took learning some fun UI and Sound quirks! I might also check with the theme originator to see if they're okay with me distributing this, if there's enough demand!
Nice, link where?

Definitely missing a lot of the assets, specifically the game images and system images, sfx and music, but yeah, this is the closest things get to public ATM!
Thinking about just releasing the assets separately tbh!
I would definitely use them if you did. Really love how cohesive it looks yet still full of personality.
how do you have that game's artbox with the system on the top left? I would it!
Not sure what you mean, like how the console icon stays on the left even while selecting a game!?
That's pretty cool, I was thinking of installing some form of steam os on my very old pc with 2 gigs of graphics card. Windows has just so much bloatware nowadaysÂ
If it's an old PC I would probably recommend something like Linux Mint. I hear it's very beginner friendly and it should be lighter than Bazzite/SteamOS
Thanks for the recommendation I really appreciate it, how is game compatibility with steam, and other steam os applications on mint? I kind of want to turn the pc into a lite gaming console like device.
Looks really nice. Only wish it had the option of a uniform grid with logos above screenshots like Retrofix for Batocera, much easier to navigate and looks nicer if not all of your games have US (or whatever region you're in) box art.
Also personally wish all of the systems images were era accurate, the Xbox and N64 both having images from Xbox One games is a bit off-putting especially since they're not even from remakes of games from those systems or anything.
I'm definitely a big fan however and looking forward to seeing where things go.
Haha, thanks for the feedback! For the images, on the icon sides, I try to go for 'what would companies use as art, then add some flair.' That being said, some of the background art is just placeholder stuff at the moment!
There actually is a grid variant! But it needs lots of work! I was actually thinking the same exact thing about the logo-grid setup you mentioned!
Sounds needs a rework or allow custom sounds
