HTML5 FrontEnd
arximidis:
Turns out it's much easier than I thought (however I have to double check).
I have already fixed the audio/video and I am working on the animations.
It looks like I will release a beta before August.
So, the IE version of HTMLFE will work on Windows XP too (or on W7 without the need to install a new version of Internet explorer)
The only thing it may not work on WinXP is the starfield animation (but it may be bypassed with the use of the two animated gifs)
Le Chuck:
This is awesome news! Looking forward to the update!
arximidis:
It is very possible to upload the first beta version today (for testing)
I don't include new features for now, because it needs some testing first
There is a new setting where you select the style (Classic HTML or HTML5). In windows XP if you select HTML5 and you don't hear any sound, then you should probably select the option Classic HTML where windows media player is used instead.
In classic view some things will not work (example the starfield effect and the 90 degrees rotation of the entire FE)
I will add new features to bypass this problem, especially for the starfield effect (eg You will be able to change background image when selecting/clicking an emulator)

Standing by to test :applaud:

I have uploaded the new beta version of default640x480 theme (version 4.0.0)
This theme will not work with HTMLFrontEndQT (use the ie version instead). However it will work on Linux (please notify me if you encounter problems)
I have added few new features:
Ability to select between HTML5 and HTML4 (Classic HTML). When selecting HTML4 windows media player is used for audio/video playback. With this setting the theme is compatible with older versions of internet explorer (thus it will work on Windows XP). Attention: If you have a newer version of internet explorer (version 9 or greater) prefer the HTML5 setting
Add the ability to change the background picture when selecting an emulator (in game lists)
Add a starfield effect compatible with HTML4 (but for now it's not as good as the HTML5 starfield effect)
