Dark mode on Ubuntu (and maybe Windows?[untested]) changes the listbox items' background/foreground colors which makes the Favorite icon and text hard to read. We should hard-code the colors so that the application looks the same regardless of dark/light mode themes that may be in use outside MAMEIronXP.

When holding down (or up) on the player-1 joystick, the list should navigate games 1-by-1 until some threshold (3 seconds?) and then the games will navigate by some constant (25?). Releasing the joystick will reset the threshold.

The background, game snapshot, LCD "metadata" panel, main logo, and listbox are positioned correctly for the following screen sizes:
2560x1440
1920x1080
1600x900

TODO:

• Code for 3840x2160. This has not been started at all.
• For all resolutions: We need to handle the listbox's items such that the Favorite icon and FontSize look appropriate.

This will prevent accidental favorites/unfavorites.

Should be similar to MAMEIron, or come up with something nicer.

• Should be based (initially) on the X-Arcade Tankstick's default controls
• There is a red LED "Exit" button on the 2019+ Tankstick (not shown on the image) which is mapped to Mouse-Button 3. That will exit MAME games, and will also bring up the exit menu.
• It would be cool to be able to use the Tankstick's trackball to scroll too; just a thought.

Look at this package for advanced Image Loading which has support for caching, etc.

• Ideally, load all images into memory up-front so the images load super-fast when navigating the list of games.
  • Low Priority: If this takes a while (more than a few seconds) possibly add a small status indicator.
• Or, lazy-load/on-demand load the images if we're on a low-powered device, small memory, low disk transfer speed, etc.
• Possibly use an App.Config setting to control how images are loaded.

I'm not 100% dead set on the one we have right now, but it's a start.
