Thread: Multiman theme: Gamefly (netflix style) concept

First I'm going to start by saying I'm not a great graphics artist and I used paint for this as I don't have anything better installed yet on my new computer but I do know how to use photoshop, just wanted people to see what I was talking about. Maybe someone could do it better too.

My idea is for the one view on multiman, one row of games in the list scrolling, like the Netflix interface. I took that interface and made it into Gamefly, which would make more sense. Games would scroll in the middle, bottom black area would be all the controls/info. The only problem is I can't figure out how to stop the background from scrolling on that view.

The size is not to scale. I made it before the right size but lost it, so I did this quick demo to see if anyone could help.

Any help on how to make it work (mainly to stop the scrolling) ? Here is a sample to show how it would work, a background for the correct size, and a sample of the Netflix PS3 interface to show the style I copied.

In older versions you could disable the background scrolling in
/dev_hdd0/game/BLES80608/USRDIR/options_default.ini

In newer versions Dean has moved it to Settings>Animation on the XMMB display mode.

Thanks, I got it.

Anyone think this is a good idea? Maybe can make a better version. I like the way it looks but not so much with the information on the bottom. But I don't think there's any way to change that like the other views.
