* Replaced the forceUppercase theme property with a more versatile letterCase property (forceUppercase is retained for legacy theme compatibility)
* Made it possible to set any text element as a scrollable container using either metadata values or literal strings
* Added support for defining the scrollable container speed, start delay and reset delay from the theme configuration
* Added theme support for defining the opacity for most element types
* Added theme support for enabling and disabling video pillarboxes and scanline rendering
* Disabled the pillarboxes and scanline rendering menu options when using a non-legacy theme set
* Improved theme element placement by replacing the "alignment" and "logoAlignment" properties with specific horizontal and vertical properties
* Made it possible to use almost all game metadata field when theming text elements
* Added scraper support for displaying the returned platform if it does not match the game platform, or if multiple platforms are defined for the system

* Migrated the carousel code from SystemView to a separate new CarouselComponent
* Changed all occurances of "GameList" to "Gamelist" throughout the codebase
* Removed a huge amount of unnecessary Window* function parameters throughout the codebase
* Changed the opacity data type and functions from unsigned char to float throughout the codebase
* Refactored the six gamelist classes into two new classes; GamelistBase and GamelistView
* Rewrote the gamelist logic to handle an arbitrary amount of components per type and split the legacy code into a separate file
* Renamed Gamelist.cpp to GamelistFileParser.cpp and moved it to its own namespace instead of using the global namespace

* Changing some values using the metadata editor could lead to an incorrect sort order if the changes were done from within a grouped custom collection
* Changing the setting "Group unthemed custom collections" could lead to incorrect custom collections sorting under some circumstances
* When multi-scraping in semi-automatic mode and a long game name was scrolling, the start position was not reset when scraping the next game
* Slide and fade transitions would sometimes stop working after changing theme sets
* Horizontal and vertical gradients were mixed up (showing the opposite gradient type if set in a theme)
* The VideoComponent static images were not fading out smoothly on gamelist fast-scrolling (only fixed for non-legacy themes)
* Rating icon outlines would not fade out correctly when fast-scrolling in a gamelist
* Clearing a game in the metadata editor would sometimes not remove all media files (if there were both a .jpg and a .png for a certain file type)
* The ScummVM platform entry was missing for TheGamesDB which resulted in very inaccurate scraper searches
* During multi-scraping the busy indicator was not displayed after a result was acquired but before the thumbnail was completely downloaded
* Text opacity did not work correctly in some places, such as for the help prompts
* ScrollableContainer faded semi-transparent text to fully opaque when resetting
* ScrollableContainer faded in the background text color in addition to the text color when resetting
* The device text flickered in GuiDetectDevice when configuring a controller
* The selector bar was not aligned correctly during menu scale-up animations

With this option enabled, there are black pillarboxes (and to a lesser extent letterboxes) displayed around videos with non-standard aspect ratios. This will probably be most commonly used for vertical arcade shooters, or for game systems that has a screen in portrait orientation. For wider than normal videos, letterboxes are added, but this is quite rare compared to videos in portrait orientation.

On less wide displays such as those in 4:3 aspect ratio this option should probably be disabled as it may otherwise add quite excessive letterboxing.

This option is only available for legacy theme sets as it's otherwise managed by the theme author.
