New Front End For All Command Line Emulators - CBG

Interesting ideas on the navigation.

I think I will include them all and make it a choice in the configuration options to how you prefer to navigate.

-------------------
BTW

Just started FE from scratch to include all the ideas with the original design. Features currently working include:

* 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768 resolutions supported.
* The entire layout can be adjust by pixel left, right, up down. This way you can center the FE on your screen exactly.
* Choice list font & size can be changed to fonts installed on your computer.
* Menu title font & size can be changed to fonts installed on your computer.
* Number of choices in a list can be modified from 1-30
* Spaces between choices can be modified.
* The will be 6 screen shot view options. Small Top-Left, Small Bottom-Left, Small Top-Right, Small Bottom-Right, Small Center, Full Screen.
* Border graphic supported and long as center is transparent (Optional).

That was a day of coding there. Will keep you updated.

You did all of that in a day?    I'm thinking this new FE is going to rule  I'm very excited about it, as I have invested in a nice arcade machine and still have to find a FE with the features you are about to add  Keep up the good work!

Yep I find I can code quick when I dont do anything at work.  

If you have any more ideas let me hear them before its too late.

I think this could be a cool FE, with my limited computer skills.
I've PM'd you for download and beta testing

When it comes to mouse control to select games, a screenshot millisecond delay option would be great. In GameLauncher, I was able to set which mouse axis to use and also the screenshot delay time.  I set my screenshot delay to something like 20ms.  This allowed me to spin the spinner and move up and down the list VERY quickly.
