Big Box Sorting

Big box is wonderful. Very happy with the purchase and have been migrating over from HS. I use this on an HTPC in my living room and it is exactly what the doctor ordered - I also love that you have suggestions set up for those of us wanting to throw our 2 cents in.

I've laid out a few ideas I wanted to put forward. Thanks for your awesome work and dedication to this project!

Suggestions are as follows - Mostly about visuals

~~2. Let videos behind platform cycle at random (when I select Sega Genesis 16T shouldn't be the video that plays every time, there are 700 videos for Big Box to pick from).~~

When you start Big Box- have the default selection be a random platform. When Big Box is opened in my setup - Arcade is always selected and the same video snap for opwolf3 plays in the background, it has begun to wear on me =\ .
Once in a platform - the video is completely obscured by the wheel on left, box/cart/disc/etc center top, screenshot bottom center and text to the right - Being able to scale or disable elements would help users unclutter to their taste. In my instance - I have the screenshots completely deleted from my LB folders so nothing populates in that bottom box. I deal would allow for users to select which "elements" populate in which "area". I for one would love to be able to scale down the size of the box/cart/disc and keep it bottom center and leave text on the right and wheel on the left.
Allow the wheel to fade out after a selection of game is made, not completely but maybe to 25% opacity (again user slider would be great).
Auto cycle cart/box/disc/3dbox art on a user set interval. I have my xbox controller to set "change item" and I can manually cycle through, but a slider of 1 - 4 seconds in .25 second intervals would be a pretty badass feature. - would also be a great part of an attract mode.
Attract mode XD
