Working on version 1.1 at the moment with changes to all marquees, but with two children it takes a little longer :)

Man you are great ! What can I say about this masterpiece you gave us... for me your skin is the only reason I stay in M.A. and not move to other front ends that still is in development...

I have only 3 suggestions for improving event more !

1) You can add an animated background in the list-games window of the platforms.
2) You can improve the animation of the characters showing on the control panel of the cabinet. You have to increase their animation-moves and add more speed in their movement (why they animate so slow ?)
3) Maybe another color in the cabinet marquee in order to differ from the same wooden color of the wonderful background with the eye..

I hope to gave you some ideas so as your skin would be even greater !!! Thanks a lot !

1) already did one with a moving eye, but when i was testing it , it kills the machine (veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrry slow all animation, unless u have a super fast computer), I had to make the background wallpaper a flash wallpaper, because of the theme editor it can´t handle so many sprites :/ so I had to put the background and the eye in one swf and its no good because i have so much moving around, but hey again if u had the computer with the power it would work but my cab pc is a P4 3.0Ghz 2GBram HD4670 1Gb ram and it didn´t like it

2)I´ll add some extra fps, its just that the fps in maximus runs very fast so u have to find the golden spot hehe

3) I could try to put a stylish marquee together without woodstyle, and make a preview here so u can see if its ok

hmm a little problem I use the 640x480 and my animation runs fine i can see that in 1280x1024 it runs slow, but I will do it but then in lower resolution u have risk of a fast animation
