How about creating a Premium vertical theme?

A new vertical (Premium) theme will be developed and our wish is that it will be quickly available (10-15 days is quite likely).
Feel free to share your ideas, post Photoshop montages of what you would like, the design should start within a couple of days.

Hi!
A new or imporoved vertical theme would be a great addition.
I have made two simple illustrations ( showing a vertical and a horizontal game) of what I would like.
The changes/additions include:

- Custom background, either a static image, slideshow or looping video.
- Abillity to have both List and an overlaid logo.
- Option to turn off or make the "screen" element transparent.
- Option to turn off the various game info.

A side question: would it be useful for you to have an "is vertical" info displayed in the database?
To be able to sort, select, filter on this value!?

Yes, that would be very useful. The more ways there is to sort titles the better, imho. :)

Here is a summary in pictures (draft, do not dwell on details/inconsistencies) of the 4 directions retained so far:
  1. Based on the original vertical theme with the possibility to change the background image and logo display.
  2. Based on 'Presenter', banner list and full screen image/video display.
  3. Based on Stripe for list, half screen image/video, logo overlay.
  4. Stripe, but vertical.

My ranking is: 2, 1, 3 ,4

2 is nice but will really only work if there is logo art for every game, I therefore prefer to have the titles as plain text.
