Where does my post say you have? Oh that's right it doesn't.

I love 3.6, awesome!

Is it possible to remove the triangle icon on the right top of my series (not movies)?

This theme is awesome!

Two minor nitpicks:

1) In admin menu, the text is rather hard to read:

2) Is there any way to fix/permanent collapse the left menubar?

3) Would it be possible to integrate any external resources (such as images from "i.imgur.com" and the Google Font) within the CSS to get it also working in offline environments? I think it shouldn't matter whatever it's loading the resources straight from CSS file or externally.

Again: Really, really good work!

Whoa, this is amazing!

Going to help me a lot with my family now that I'm finally migrating from Plex to Emby. 

Thank you so much for sharing your work!

I moved from Plex to Emby and even though I think Emby is superior in its flexibility there are some things I like better with Plex, especially in terms of its looks. This theme is trying to fix that by making it a bit more similar to Plex but with some, in my opinion, improvements. The CSS is attached to this post for anyone interested and below are some screens to show it off 
 

Good to know

• I only use Chrome so I can't guarantee this CSS works as expected in other browsers. 
• If you want the sidebar menu to look like in the screens, make sure to pin the sidebar.
• Watched badge/banderoll is inverted which means that the badge will not be shown if media have been watched, like in Plex.
• For desired look, please use the "Dark" theme for both Theme & Settings theme in the display settings.

Nice Job, I was starting to get tired of Emby, this theme just gave it life. But you could have just left the Dashboard with the original Emby Theme

The online site to check for acceptable color contrast is:
 https://www.siegemedia.com/contrast-ratio#%230B0D10-on-%232B3643

You need to be > 3.0 contrast.  The colors from the theme are used in this test page link and they are only rated at 1.58.  All the other black on dark blue background texts on the page, also fail.  This is not enough contrast and these style choices are technically design errors.  It is a lot of work to get all texts to work on all backgrounds with theme design.  The online Contrast ratio site is helpful. 

Getting all the admin texts to work is also quite tricky, because there are many div and class styles in the admin dashboard. I've attached the section I use in my State Street theme to adjust all the admin dashboard texts.  This covers most color styles for text and backgrounds for the admin dashboard and can maybe be helpful in updating your style theme colors.  Most all of the texts in my theme are using ivory.
 

color:#FFFFF0;

Pick whatever color you prefer that passes the online, contrast ratio test and replace #FFFFF0;  Tweak whatever you need on the background colors.  Try adding the newly edited css style excerpt into your css theme update somewhere at the bottom of the file.  Hopefully, the excerpt will start working for most all the admin text areas.
