* adds a new configuration option ("CollectionShowSystemInfo" = bool), in the 'Game Collections Settings' GUI. Defaults to previous behavior (true).
* reloads the Collection when the configuration is changed.
Adds the ability for users to change the following features in OMX Player's subtitles (game info for screen saver).
- font size
- font file path
- italic font file path
- subtitle position
These changes can be made in the GUI menus via the Video Screen Saver menu, or directly in the es_settings.cfg file.
Safe OMX Player defaults are hard-coded into the EmulationStation application.
Here's an example of the new keys loaded/saved into in the es_settings.cfg file:
- `<int name="SubtitleSize" value="38" />`
- `<string name="SubtitleFont" value="/usr/local/share/fonts/slkscr.ttf" />`
- `<string name="SubtitleItalicFont" value="/usr/local/share/fonts/slkscrb.ttf" />`
- `<string name="SubtitleAlignment" value="center" />`
Starting up emulationstation takes me about 1 minute over the network
with a large collection of 27 systems with images.
This patch uses the loading screen to tell the user about the status
of the startup, with information how many systems are left for view
initialization.
The most beefy part of the startup process is initializing the views,
and preloading images.
This patch extends the `renderLoadingScreen` function to take a string
and uses it in `ViewController::preload`.
v2: Add SplashScreenProgress option enabled by default.

* Split out UIMode controller in separate class (in es-app).
* Fix passphrase input for wX360 controllers by ignoring hat-inputs
* Fix font fallback mechanism on rpi for non ascii characters using new Unicode2Chars() method.
* Fix UIMode not being saved due to popup window.
* Introduce FileData Filtering for Kiosk and Kid Modes to:
1. In Kiosk mode: Hide items with metadata tag `<hidden>true</hidden>`
2. In Kid mode: only show items with metadata tag `<kidgame>true</kidgame>`
* ES will auto-revert UI mode back to Full when there is nothing at all to show.
* Changing the setting hideQuitMenuOnKidUI to true will hide this menu.
* Now that vsync off explicitly sets swap interval, it's clear that
we've been using driver defaults (vsync on) up until now.
* Try to enable normal vsync before late swap tearing. The latter
doesn't constrain framerate and looks basically identical to vsync
off.
This change adds an image slideshow screensaver mode with optional
background audio. The existing menu and video screensaver have been
refactored to include this new mode.
By default, the slideshow screensaver will show images from the
game list, but it can be configured in the menu to use a custom
directory instead.
More often than not users are running into glGetErrors 505 (running out
of video memory) when using heavy themes with the default 100 VRAM
setting.
The advice of setting it to 80 is often the solution.
Until we have a proper/better GPU management solution, this is probably
a better default.
