SMW Theme
By Grila
SMW v1.0.0
BigBox Theme
2/2/2017
A Quick Note
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I originally started this just as a proof of concept for myself and I wasn't planning on uploading it for the community. After it progressed a bit, I thought it was actually turning out kinda cool and some of you may like to add it to your collection. So here we are. If there's enough interest I'll add some more views to it.
Theme Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SMW is a simple, fun theme that was created by utilizing sprite sheets from the Super Nintendo game Super Mario World. It's designed to be a basic, easy to use theme with a throwback, pixellated visual style.
Theme Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~
* This theme is designed around a 16:9 aspect ratio. The following resolutions have been tested and are known to work as intended:
- 1280x720
- 1366x768
- 1600x900
- 1920x1080
* Includes a custom, parallax background video that I made specifically for this theme
* Custom Coin Icon for your favorited games in the list views
* A static background in also coded into the theme for those of you who wish to use this theme on lower-end hardware. You'll have to edit the code and comment out the video line AND un-comment the image line. This has to be done in the following views (code is labeled for your pleasure):
- PlatformWheel1FiltersView.xaml
- TextFiltersView.xaml
- WheelGamesView.xaml
- TextGamesView.xaml

Translucent Theme
By Grila
Translucent v1.0.1
BigBox Theme
1/31/2017
Theme Description
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Translucent is a modern-ish theme that features real-time Gaussian blurring behind its transparent panels giving them a frosted glass look. The effect works on both background art and background videos.
Theme Notes
~~~~~~~~~~~
* Requires the font Bebas Neue, which is included in the root theme folder. Install it before running BigBox.
* This theme is designed for 1080. The way the blur effects are implemented as well as the way that some text is formatted won't provide optimal results at any other resolution. I am aware of this, there is no need to comment and tell me about it. Beauty trumped compatibility on this one.
* Any display scaling above or below 100% is likely to cause alignment issues with some of the theme elements.
* The real-time Gaussian blurring can be a resource hog with fullscreen background videos enabled. Setting all transitions to "None" can help performance, as will using fan art backgrounds instead of videos.

ClassicMini
By Grila
ClassicMini is a lightweight theme inspired by the NES (and Famicom) Classic Edition that was recently released. It doesn't feature all the flashy videos that seem to be the rage nowadays, but it's simplistic pixel design will take you back to the days of yesteryear.
16:9 aspect ratio is suggested, I haven't had time to test at any others so don't complain if it doesn't look right. Working game ratings if you have them set in LaunchBox
ClassicMini Changelog:
v1.2.1 (01/23/2017):
- Changed the font to a normal sans-serif (Segoe UI family) to help with overall aesthetics and readability
- Added filter/platform details to the text filter/platform view
v1.2 (01/21/2017):
- Changed the binding of the cover images to use the transition presenter instead of calling them directly
v1.1.1 (01/19/2017):
- Added a missing opacity mask for the text platform and text game view
v1.1 (01/19/2017):
- Added a Famicom styled theme. I had to make it a seperate theme because of the way BigBox shares some of its views.
- Re-named the NES version of ClassicMini to ClassicMiniNes to reflect the addition of the ClassicMiniFamicom theme
- Added Famicom skin images
- Skinned the platform text view, system menu, and options menu
- Minor changes to various image files
v1.0 (01/16/2017):
- Initial release

SciDoc 5.4
By Maddoc1007
Hi All
Here is my New Theme Scidoc.
LaunchBox Beta 7.16 up needed.
IMPORTANT MUST READ:
Inside the zip SciDoc 5.4 is a folder called SciDoc this is the folder you must cut out and place in your theme folder!
I have only tested and compiled this on a 15.4 Monitor hopefully it should also work fine on 4.3 Monitors as i do not have one to test it on.
Unzip and Copy or Cut the Folder Scidoc and place inside your Theme Folder in LaunchBox.
All the views are done it is almost fully skinned from top to bottom including the BigBox page and the Options page as well as the Music Popup.
A total of 5 Platform Views and 11 Game Views.
In the Images folder for PlatformWheel3FiltersView there is an Overlay3NOSCANLINES.png Just remane it to Overlay3.png for No Scanlines in that platform view.
In the Coverflow with Details views just overwrite and Save in Notepad++
<Grid.Background>
<ImageBrush ImageSource="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Themes/SciDoc/Images/CoverDetailsOverlay.png" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" />
</Grid.Background>
with
<Grid.Background>
<SolidColorBrush Color="Black" Opacity="{Binding BackgroundFade}" />
</Grid.Background>
If you do not like the Overlay with the theme.
To use this theme fully turn off Platform Video Backgrounds and Game Video Backgrounds.
Platform videos for this theme should be in 16.9 aspect ratio . There should hopefully be no problems with the 640x480 Game videos in the game views.
Inside the Platform Folder you will find a folder called Clear Logo, inside this folder you will find 59 Blue Platform Logo's, as well as one Blank Logo. For platform logo's you are missing resize and paste a clear logo in any art program onto this blank logo and rename to the desired platform name. Always keep the Blank Logo as a Template.
All Videos supplied with the theme are recorded from the visualizer milkdrop by me and are free under the BSD licence as far as my checking could ascertain.
With many thanks Maddoc1007.

SimplyHD
By Sithel
Hello everyone!
I created this simple HD theme titled SimplyHD. There is a single platform view and games wheel view. I know this works with a 1920x1080 resolution but I'm not really sure on any other resolution. I've tried with other resolutions and the text doesn't scale right for whatever reason. I'm new at learning all this .xaml stuff.
If you are running 1920x1080 resolution and have weird text scaling issues where text is to big and outside the box. Check your Windows display settings for text size and make sure it's set to 100%
To start it off, here is a few options I recommend setting inside BigBox.
Options - Keyboard Mappings - Map Switch View to a key Options - Platform Details - Check 6 boxes. The Platform Details will show 6 I recommend checking (Default Emulator, Total Games, Games Completed, Last Played, Play Count, and Most Played) Options - Transitions - Filter Games Boxes Transition: Slide Horizonal Options - Videos - Check Use Game Background Videos and Check Use Platform Background Videos Options - Views - Games List View: Vertical Clear Logo Wheel Options Views - Platforms List View: Platforms Wheel with Image, Video, and Thumbs Options - Views - UnCheck - Show Filters Favorite Games Options - Images - UnCheck - Show Clear Logos in Games Details Option - Game Menu - UnCheck - Show Game Menu Title I also recommend using Viking's Platform Logo's found here:
You can change the colors of the theme by renaming the Default folder, which is in your theme directory. ...\LaunchBox\Themes\SimplyHD\Images\Default
There is a total of 9 different colors. To rename I recommend exiting BigBox and rename Default to whatever. Example "-Default". Then rename the color you want to Default. Example rename the Blue folder to Default, then restart BigBox.
Here is a few examples of the colors, Dark Red, Blue, and Green.
Below is a a few screenshots showing some of the features on the platform and games view.
Opacity can be changed to your liking via editing the .xaml file
PlatformWheelImageVideoThumbsFiltersView.xaml (Opacity settings start at line 79) They are in decimal and range from 0-1 (0.65 is default, which is 65%)
WheelGamesView.xaml (Opacity settings start at line 79) They are in decimal and range from 0-1 (0.65 is default, which is 65%)

My first time at a theme. It obviously revolves around @nyny77's platform videos..I like the way it looks..It's nothing fancy by any means though. I also changed the select.wav file to the sound of doors opening in Metroid, so I'll add that in here as well.
