mrkgnao: Thank you for your suggestions. They have been implemented and are now online.
You're blazing ahead! Well done :-D

How did you get the game information from GOG? Gog has an API? Or html parsing or manual entry?

Nice work, and love the name! Just found out about this so I haven't had time to put it through its paces, but it looks like you've put a load of great functionality into it. Kudos!

I know you said that you wish to keep the search button on top, but it does feel a little weird to have two of them :P
How about making the changelog a clickable text instead of a button? It attracts a lot of attention...
Also, since in the "Scope" section there are only three check boxes, the Clear All and Set All buttons are pretty useless and removing them would give a cleaner view.

All of this is just my opinion, for what it's worth!
Anyway great job!

Edit:

or a grey button.

HTML parsing.

mrkgnao: Now just to wait and see how long until someone complains about there being two identical buttons...

Thank you!

BTW, given your penchant for list-making, you might find this interesting (or not):

Sorry. I use these Set/Clear All buttons all the time in testing. I find them much easier (larger) targets to hit than the check-boxes...
To choose only DLCs, I click clear all + dlc.
Then to choose all back again, I click set all.

or a grey button.
I'll make it grey.

I gave it a very quick spin but will have to toy with it more; so far very impressed with the functionality and all the choices.

A quick question - any particular reason there's no check-box for "Requirements"?

No, don't listen to that Shambhala :P

Do you mean "Age Requirements"? There is.

Do you mean "System Requirements"? Didn't get around yet to add to it to MaGog's database. Will do so in the upcoming weeks.

The latter - thanks for the clarification, will wait patiently!

Oh, and are there any plans to offer a darker theme (I think I read something about this, but can't find it now)?
My eyes complain that it's a bit too bright. ;-)

This needed to be highlighted, I can't stop laughing.

I didn't try the search engine too much at first but now that I have I'm very impressed! Earlier I was about to ask for a separation between oldies and indies but that was added before I had time to write to the post.

Themes?! Don't remember anyone asking for that yet.
Will add it to my to do list (will have to wait until I implement cookies and such).
