I'd like to see a round container.
specify x & y from center, specify diameter in pixels.

Also even radius corners of square container.

Then if ya want to get really clever, how about letters as containers.
Specify font, size etc, then each letter is like a window to whats hidden behind it. I'm picturing multiple reloadable videos showing through a word.

I see this feature is in testing now

As I can't container a reflection, it's back to plan A for video bezel art.
Pieter said he will look at it for me, but is busy at the moment in damage control from a failed hard drive

we got more plans for the video bezels
still not sure on background yet, just throw boxart in there to see how it looks. Considering making the video smaller now that it transitions to full screen anyway, that would give more room to move with background art.

Nah man, all constructive comments are welcome and very much appreciated. I may not always agree with them as we all have our own taste, but I will still take them all onboard for sure 
My main goal in this theme is control response on my arcade sticks. A lot of themes I have tried just don't respond well for me, that may just be my setup, it may not. But there are some out there that respond well, I want this one to be one of those.
In saying that, I am going to try minimise the animations and reloadable content in the layout.
This started with a minimum base theme by JonahUK, he released it for us on the CORE discord in hope to get people involved in theme building. It's a great starting point will all the minimum things needed for a functioning theme, just start tinkering away at the xml and make your changes.

I have not seen this style wheel before so thought I'd try it.

Or with logo switch option-

Lets make one?
Standard folder/file names and don't use mode = "layout" for that stuff.
Those themes that have the custom eplogos, maincharacter etc in layout are fantastic, but they are killing me with what we are doin. haha
