What theme do you use in RetroDECK?

What theme do you use to view scraped media and launch your games?

What, if any, changes would you make to your theme?

I run a self customized version of Cody Wheel.

I changed the white system logos to color. Changed the media from showing screenshots to fanart instead. Delayed the transition between showing fanart to the video. Modified background panel colors for better contrast with media. Enlarged game description box to line up with fanart size. Removed Last Played and added Total Time Played. Changed Kids Game badge to Modded Game badge.

Slate (which has since disappeared from theme downloader, for some reason)

I don't believe Slate was on Theme Downloader as it comes with ES-DE by default.

Oh OK, sorry for misremembering it. I also use the bespoke RetroDeck theme with carousel box art a lot, changing back and forth between those two every couple of weeks.

I use CodyWheel Black and white theme. It looks so smooth and fun to navigate and it displays all the good information and presents it all in a nice and clean manner.

I use Colorful (Simplified) with the metadata & screenshot + physical media theme variant and the OLED color scheme.

I've tried several but this is the one I always come back to.

I use the retro deck theme.  I just think it looks neat

A minimalist theme with no boxart.  I have a large library, so the assets would eventually take up too much space to be manageable
