RetroArch 1.7.7 (Upcoming) - RGUI visual enhancements - snow effect!
Thanks to jdgleaver, tons of visual improvements have been made to the RGUI menu driver that really enhances the experience.
This snow effect will no doubt seem familiar to people that used the emulator ZSNES in the past, but nevertheless it was made from scratch by a contributor called retrotails. In this video you will see the effect being demonstrated.
Also noticeable improvements in the new RGUI:
* Sublabels now show up for the currently selected entry (this can be enabled/disabled)
* Text now has drop shadows (can be enabled/disabled, comes with a slight performance cost)
* Thumbnails in RGUI with various scaling methods
* Aspect ratio modes for RGUI - it can now properly fill the screen and make the best use of the screen estate available
* A fancy new keyboard mode for RGUI
* Extended ASCII character support. Languages such as German and French should show accented characters correctly now.
