Mala layout/theme request, it's been done, WOW
squirrellydw:
If anyone is good at making layouts for Mala and would like to make one for me here is what I would like.
Would like it to do all the fancing stuff that Mala supports, rotating is a must and have it look similar to Apples Apple TV/Front Row/CoverFlow application. I have attached a picture to give you an idea. Would like to have the games listed on the left and the snapshots/video on the right and maybe the title on the top right. I like the way this looks color wise, I think it looks very clean and professional.

since no one seems to be interested I guess I will have to try this in a week or so. This is possible right?

If you have Photoshop, you are golden.
Open an existing layout folder and grab a copy of the .jpg file. Open it in Ohotoshop and overwrite the image with what you want and save as the same name as the .jpg file you took from the layout folder.
I am far from being a pro, but this was the easiest way for me to do it. I searched the net for some nice artwork and plugged it in where I wanted.
If you haven't used Photoshop, you can pick up how-to books on it for about $20.00.
Cheers and good luck.

You could certainly copy the overall look in a skin, but the rotating/animation would really need to be built-in to the FE itself.
I personally would love an FE that had a CoverFlow and FrontRow look with customizable graphics. I put together working versions of these that looked slick in Blitz3D in about 2 nights, but it did not include the other 99% of mame/emulator FE functions. Hopefully a FE dev will get bored one night with some of the new Vista options coming down the pipe. ;)

Well, I simply modified the default layout and it worked OK. I have no idea out to make the selected game out lined in a blue box though.
Yes, I think a coverFlow theme would kick ass. I wish I had the talent to do that. I would gladly pay $20 for that.
Take a look here if you don't know what I mean
