Changed scroll gradient to a radial gradient and made the display full

screen instead of just inside the list.
Embedded the OpenSans font as the default font instead of relying on a
platform-dependent system default.

 EmulationStation uses some C++11 code, which means you'll need to install at least g++-4.7 on Linux, or VS2010 on Windows. 
 For installing and switching to g++-4.7 see [here](http://lektiondestages.blogspot.de/2013/05/installing-and-switching-gccg-versions.html).  You can also just use `export CXX=g++-4.7` to explicitly specify the compiler for CMake (make sure you delete your CMake cache files if it's not working).
 
-EmulationStation has a few dependencies. For building, you'll need SDL2, Boost (System, Filesystem, Regex, DateTime), FreeImage, FreeType, Eigen3, and cURL.  You'll also need the DejaVu TrueType font on Linux to run ES.
