Today we are excited to introduce new MyArcadeTheme 6 with amazing new features. This new release boosts MyArcadeTheme flexibility to a new level. In this release, we have added six new features, optimized a few things and fixed three reported issues. These new features have been added:

• Single line header
• Configurable widget areas next to the game container
• Layout builder for the play-games page
• Option to display related games on the slider belt on the single games page
• Games widget that is able to display random or related games
• Option to change the game buttons location (above or below the game)

Let’s take a look at the new features:

Header Layouts

With MyArcadeTheme 6 you have an option to chose between two header styles:

• Magazine Style Header (default)
• Horizontal Single Line

The Horizontal Single Line is a small header optimized for mobile devices. It comes with a slide-in menu for smartphones and tablets.

Now let’s see how the mobile slide menu looks on a mobile device.

Game Container Sidebars

Another great feature allows you to activate widgets next to the game. There are four options:

• Full-width game, without sidebars (default)
• Left sidebar
• Right sidebar
• Left and Right sidebar

The following video demonstrates the new sidebar feature.

Game Page Layout Builder

To make the theme more flexible we have added a page builder for the game-play page. It allows you to re-order the elements/content displayed below the game by Drag & Drop. If you want to remove a section just move it to the “Disable” container. So, let’s see the new feature in action:

Game Buttons – Flexible Positions

We have added an option that allows you to change the position of the game buttons (Fullscreen, Favorites, Lights Off, Share…) This is a small but helpful feature for some use cases.
