Title: Is there a frontend that fades out when you start a game?
Post by: nitz on September 12, 2010, 02:14:02 am

I'm looking for a frontend that fades out when you start a game and fades from black back in after you exit a game. Does anyone know of a front end that has this feature? I just thought it would be neat as it might look a bit slicker than just instantly switching from FE to game to FE which is slightly jarring.

I know, I know, that's being pretty picky. :D But I do think that would look cool and less computer like.

Can you have it play some Metallica at the same time too?  That'd be cool!

Great idea nitz!
