Just got this bad boy yesterday and I'm like a kid at Christmas! ๐Ÿ˜„ The delight I felt firing up my old love, Desert Strike... Goosebumps! Seriously impressed with this bit of kit, and I'm enjoying exploring the options as much as the many many games! The effort put in by the community with GarlicOS and the ROM packs is simply magnificent.

The RG35XX is pretty great, nice color choice too! Looks like I need to update my GarlicOS, my games list is still centered with boxart in the background.

In order to do that you'll need to first change your /CFW/skin/settings.json to have "text-alignment": "left" and "text-margin": 300 to shift your games list to the right. Next you'll want to use a tool like Skraper to generate your images so it is transparency on the right where your games list is and put what you want to display on the left. You can use the image mixes provided from ebzero on Github or the 2 image mix with only the gameplay screenshot and box art that I've modified below and place the xml into the Mixes subdirectory of Skraper:

<ImageComposition xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="https://www.skraper.net/ImageComposition.xsd" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <Information ShortName="RG35XX 2 Image Mix" LongName="RG35XX 2 Image Mix" Description="2DBox + Screenshot" Author="Author" />
  <Viewport Color="#00FFFFFF" Width="1280" Height="960" />
  <Drawings>
    <Item Type="Screenshot">
      <Display X="23%" Y="64%" Antialiasing="None" Width="45%" Height="45%" Anchor="BottomHCenter" />
      <Fallback Type="ScreenshotTitle">
        <Fallback Type="SystemWallPaper">
          <Children Reference="Parent">
            <Item Type="Text" Text="No Screenshot!" TextColor="#FFFFFFFF" FontFamilly="Arial" FontStyle="Bold Italic" />
          </Children>
        </Fallback>
      </Fallback>
    </Item>
    <Item Type="Box2DFront">
      <Display X="44%" Y="57.5%" Antialiasing="None" Transparency="0.9" Width="22%" Height="32%" Anchor="VCenterRight" />
    </Item>
  </Drawings>
</ImageComposition>

When you've decided what you want to use, find the Media Type option under the Media tab in Skraper and choose User Provided Mix and then you can select the custom xml file you want to use when running Skraper.
