📄 Description

This pr aims to fix this issue, by changing the way the background image for games is computed and also adding a checkbox to be able to hide the background image and a slider to change the opacity of the displayed image.

Also while using grid view I came across a bug that would cause the emulator to crash if a cell was selected and the refresh button was pressed, this caused an integer overflow on onCurrentCellChanged, this was easily fixed by some bounds checking.

List view example:

Grid view example:

Added base English translations for the new UI elements and Spanish translations aswell.
