Display Bezel With Gameplay Snap/Video in Game Details Pane

Add support for displaying bezel artwork around gameplay screenshots and videos in the LaunchBox game details pane, using available empty space to frame the media more attractively—especially for 4:3 and vertical games.

🎯 Feature Overview

  • Optionally wrap gameplay snaps or videos in matching bezel images when shown in the details pane.

  • Use bezel artwork already associated with the game or from a specified folder.

  • Dynamically apply bezels where aspect ratio leaves unused space (e.g. vertical arcade games, 4:3 content on widescreen).

🛠 Example Use Case

  • In LaunchBox, a user views the details for Pac-Man.

  • The gameplay video is 4:3, leaving gray space around it.

  • Instead of blank space, LaunchBox overlays the game’s arcade bezel art around the media.

📦 Benefits

  • Enhances visual polish of the details pane.

  • Adds nostalgic flair, particularly for arcade and retro console games.

  • Makes use of media many users already have in their bezel collections.
