Mini Consoles Theme - RetroSai Nostalgia - Form over Function
By Saieno
The inception of this project was catalyzed by observing the theme presented by exodus_cl. Inspired, I set out to architect a theme that would not only epitomize the unique ethos, ambience, and distinctiveness of each gaming platform I personally had the experience of using, but also pay reverence to their original design principles. Delving deep, I recreated and sometimes re-imagined themes of official mini consoles. Concurrently, I envisioned and formulated how other platforms, not originally themed by their respective manufacturers, might have been conceived.
A nuanced observation would reveal that each Atari platform, while retaining its distinct character, embodies a similar ambience. This pattern can be observed across platforms like Nintendo and SEGA. For contemporary consoles, my approach gravitated towards capturing the essence of their dashboards, trying to evoke a profound sense of nostalgia. Distinctive views have also been crafted for platforms like PS2 and Xbox, reminiscent of the Demo Disks prevalent during their era.
Theme Features:
Aesthetic Integrity: Each console view crafted is a celebration of its unique vibe, endeavoring to pay the highest tribute to its original design.
Dashboard Designs: Faithful recreations of existing Mini-Console dashboards are accompanied by imaginative conceptions of those that remain uncharted by official designers.
Nostalgic Inclusions: Optional views are available replicating the classic Demo Disks for platforms like PS2 and Xbox.
Auditory Experience: Background music encapsulates either iconic tunes from system games or melodies crafted using the genuine hardware.
Re-imaginative Themes: Mini console themes, including those for the original Playstation and Sega Genesis, have been re-envisioned to seamlessly blend with the overarching theme.
Regional Nuances: Alternate views tailored for specific regions encompass platforms like Famicom, Super Famicom, and the Sega Mega Drive series, to name a few.
Universal View: A generic default games view is present, suitable for any console devoid of a custom design.
UI Recreation: Emulating the ethos of newer consoles, UIs like the Xbox 360 Blades, PS3 XMB, and the WiiU Gamepad have been faithfully recreated.
Recommended Configuration:
Startup View: Platforms Games List View: Horizontal Wheel 1 Platforms List View: Platform Wheel 1 View Consistency: Ensure separate views are maintained for each platform. Please refrain from bypassing the game details screen, as bespoke game details screens have been designed in alignment with the native console/platform system menus where pertinent.
Critical Information: Within each custom platform, the Game Details View Menu is subtly concealed, simulating the initiation of a game. To reveal this concealed menu, one must navigate either up or down whilst in the Game Detail View.
Specific View Instructions:
The primary view for most platforms aligns with the Horizontal Wheel 1 view. However, specific cases are outlined as:
Systems devoid of a custom view should adopt the CoverflowGamesView. For the Playstation 2 Demo Disk View, resort to the HorizontalWheel2GamesVIew. Platforms like the Microsoft Xbox One, Nintendo Wii, WiiU, and Playstation Vita are best represented by the WallGamesView. For the Microsoft Xbox Demo Disk, Playstation 3, and Playstation Portable, the WheelGamesView is recommended. To ensure the Sega Master System/Sega Mark III/Sega SG-1000 Card Games are displayed appropriately, annotate "Card Media." at the conclusion of the Metadata Notes section for each game. Navigational Caution: When interacting with the WiiU, restrict your navigation downwards to prevent the game title from overlapping with other games.
Supported Platforms with Distinct Themes: Duplicate listings are for accommodating particular naming conventions.

As a result of the Nintendo Game Boy view replacement, three distinct Nintendo Super Game Boy views have been introduced:
North America Super Game Boy View (Nintendo Super Game Boy): Tailored to North American users, this view captures the essence of the North American Super Game Boy experience.
PAL Regions Super Game Boy View (Super Game Boy): Designed specifically for PAL regions, this view provides a unique representation of the PAL Super Game Boy setup.

-----------------------------------------------------
Arcade/Steam/Intellivision/Dreamcast Case Video Demo
Version-2.0.0-Overview.mp4 Arcade/MAME View:
Imagine walking into a dimly lit room, only to be greeted by the vibrant glow of neon lights, screens reflecting off sleek surfaces and rows of brightly colored cabinets. The energizing cacophony of game sounds, chiptunes, and playful challenges fills the air, beckoning players to try their hand at conquering pixelated realms. This was the magic of a 90s arcade – a sanctuary for gamers, where stories were not just told but lived, one coin at a time.
Diverse Cabinet Showcase: Just as arcades offered a smorgasbord of games, this view boasts over 48 unique arcade cabinets, each presenting a doorway into the past.
Variants Included: The 90s arcade was never just about the joystick and buttons. Racing wheel games that simulated high-speed chases and light gun cabinets that brought first-person shooter scenarios to life were all the rage. This view recreates these specialties, ensuring that every gamer finds their niche.
Atmospheric Navigation: It's not just about the games; it's about the experience. As you navigate from one cabinet to another, the shifting atmosphere and audio ambiance transport you back in time, simulating the sensation of wandering through an arcade, deciding where to drop your next coin.
Detailed Reflections: Attention to detail is key. The glow of the game screen softly reflecting off the control panels, especially in the game details screen, doesn't just add to the visuals—it revives memories of intense focus and fingers dancing over buttons in rhythmic gameplay.
Arcade BIOS Game Details Menu: To round off this authentic trip down memory lane, the game details menu mirrors the look and feel of an Arcade BIOS. It's not just about playing; it's about immersing oneself in the entire arcade ethos.
Notes: "Screenshots", "Marquees", "Clear Logos", and "Videos" are utilized for the view. The cabinet style is designated by the game "Publisher" metadata. Racing cabinets are designated by the "Racing" and "Driving / ..." variant genres and Lightgun cabinets are designated by the "Shooter / Gun" genre.
If you wish to manually change the cabinet to fit a specific aesthetic for a game, here are the supported publishers you can update the metadata for the specific game to:
"Arika"
"Atari Corporation"
"Atari Games"
"Atari"
"Bally Midway"
"Capcom Co., Ltd."
"Capcom"
"Cave (AMI license)"
"Cave (Atlus license)"
"Cave (Capcom license)"
"Cave (Nihon System license)"
"Cave"
"Data East Corporation"
"Data East"
"Irem Corp."
"Irem"
"Konami Industry Co. Ltd."
"Konami"
"Midway Games"
"Midway"
"Namco"
"Nintendo R&D3"
"Nintendo"
"SNK Corporation" (This is the red SNK cabinet)
"SNK" (This is the MVS cabinet)
"Sega AM1"
"Sega AM2"
"Sega AM3 R&D Division"
"Sega Enterprises Ltd."
"Sega"
"Taito America Corporation" (Black Buttons)
"Taito Corporation Japan" (Red Buttons)
"Taito Corporation" (Red Buttons)
"Taito" (Black Buttons)
"Williams Entertainment"
"Williams"
Steam/PC Games/Windows/Microsoft Windows View:
Especially designed for Windows/PC Games/Steam enthusiasts, this view is inspired by the UI of the Steam Deck. Currently, I'm harnessing the metadata provided by LaunchBox, but hopefully in the future I'll be able to integrate the Steam, GOG, and Epic metadata for a richer experience. Until then, I'm confident you'll love what you see.
Steam Deck Inspiration: This view is designed after the Steam Deck version of Steam OS.
Library View: A seamless browsing experience to navigate through your games.
Game Details View: Get all the information you need about a game with a visually appealing presentation.
Overlay Menu: An intuitive overlay menu for the Game Details Menu, so you get all the additional details without any hassle.
Notes: "Box - Front", "Clear Logo", "Screenshots", "Videos" and "Banners" are utilized for this theme. Unfortunately Fan Background and Steam/Epic/GOG metadata is not available for me to use for the theme currently. Screenshots are utilized first, then Banners as a fall back.
Mattel Intellivision View:
This view brings the nostalgia right to your fingertips. Every time you select a game, the Controller Overlay will change to match that specific game. This is perfect for those who love authenticity. But there's more! This view also includes the iconic "My Intellivision" track from Intellivision Lives! which will hopefully set the mood.
Classic Console Presentation: Experience the nostalgic Mattel Intellivision console front and center.
Dynamic Controller Overlays: Game-specific controller overlays are showcased, ensuring that the controls displayed are accurate for each game if available.
Accurate Cartridge Port: With the Mattel Intellivision's cartridge port usually on the side of the console, its been placed at the top with accurate cart insertion depth!
"My Intellivision" Theme Song: Fans of Intellivision Lives! will be delighted to hear the "My Intellivision" theme song incorporated into the theme.
Note: The Controller Overlays are handled via the "Arcade - Controls Information" metadata.
Dreamcast Region Specific Game Cases:
Now, your Dreamcast game cases will automatically adjust based on the region you've specified in LaunchBox. Here's a breakdown of the region-specific cases:
North America White: Set region to North America (This is the default setting) North America Black: Set region to North America Alt European: Set region to Europe Japan White: Set region to Japan Japan Black: Set region to Japan Alt Note: Changing regions for games is best handled via LaunchBox by selecting all games you'd like to change to a specific region, then mass editing the Region field and updating them.
Supported Views (Switch View key may need to be mapped in BigBox):
To help with the initial configuration of the Theme, if a Platform attempts to utilize a view that is not supported, a customized view displaying supported options will appear. For example, the default view for the theme is Horizontal Wheel 1, however not all platforms utilize this view and a screen displaying the supported views for the specific Platform will be displayed.
Note: Supported Views allows for BigBox wide Search, results will just need to be set to Fullscreen CoverFlow. The Platform View Searching works as expected, and so does Game Detail Menu options like Related Games, etc

Arcade Floor
Arcade Floor Theme for BigBox 1.02
by chinagreenelvis
Arcade Floor is designed for use and visibility on a traditional arcade cabinet CRT or television set in 4x3 but will stretch to any aspect ratio. It relies entirely on the text-based menu system and works well with Platform Categories views for those who take advantage of custom playlists and sub-lists for platforms.
Game fanart backgrounds will display in the games details view if they are enabled in the background priorities list in the LaunchBox settings.
To create your own background images for non-included platforms, a Photoshop file has been included in the Arcade Floor DIY Backgrounds ZIP file. Just place the background image of your choice into the platform folder layer and the vaporwave overlay will give it the right look. Exported images must go into two folders: Arcade Floor/Media/Platforms and Arcade Floor/Images/Platforms/Fanart.
Theme colors (purple and blue hues) are produced entirely by the background images, so if you want to create a whole new look, you can subsitute your own backgrounds by replacing those images. Deleting the images entirely will default each view to the images in the Aracdian/Media/Backgrounds folder.
In order to prevent audio from game videos from continuing to play when entering games details view or scrolling through the list, try setting the video playback engine in Big Box to Windows Media Player instead of VLC.
Most of Arcade Floor was made with the Community Theme Creator for BigBox 2.3 and is compatible with LaunchBox 12.9 as of this version.
Get the CTC here: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/2115-community-theme-creator-for-bigbox/
////////////////////
1.01:
This version contains a modified (simplified) version of the Random Game Selector by G-rila (https://github.com/G-rila/BigBoxRGS). In any games menu, hold right in order to get a pop up item for randomly selecting a game. Pressing the select button in the pop-up will automatically begin a random game from your current playlist.
The CTC files for version 1.00 do not include the code for this plugin, but you get can get the DLL from 1.01 and re-add it to TextGamesView.xaml after publishing by following the instructions on GitHub. The secondary grid code for this theme is slightly different than the example provided:
<Grid x:Name="RGSGrid" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualWidth}" Height="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualHeight}" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" Panel.ZIndex="1000" > <bbrgs:RGSv2_0 HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" ShowGameDetails="False" ShowGameNotes="False" CheckForUpdates="True"/> </Grid>568 downloads

theme Flashycart
By walter10h
Hello and thank you for checking out my brand new theme. Flashycart is an attempt at recreating ODE/Flashcart/Loader interfaces for many different systems. It has taken me hours upon hours of work, and I'm most happy to finally make it public.
Most consoles on this theme make use of Text views. The point is simplicity and speed. 3DS Uses a horizontal wheel.
Each screen is also customizable, as you can change the backgrounds to your liking. On N64 you can add a gif file named animbg.gif if you wish for an animated background. NES, Sega Genesis/Megadrive, Turbografx, and Snes/Sufami support animated backgrounds as well (animbg.gif and animlistbg.gif). 3DS supports regular and animated background (pt_bottom.gif and pt_top.gif).

My Room
By Telecom
The theme was created for myself a couple of years ago, so I'm putting it here. It was created on the basis of the amazing Unified theme from the author CriticalCid. Because it was the most suitable candidate for realization of my idea.
The idea was to recreate the atmosphere of a room from those times.
I couldn't find suitable backgrounds on the internet, so I had to learn 3D, namely Blender, to create a couple of pictures for this theme. Yes, I'm probably crazy to learn 3D from scratch for the sake of two pictures. The plan was to create a choice of atmosphere of different console generations.
If the topic is in demand, I will resume updates.

Pop Art
By zbt1898
Hey all!
This is my first attempt at a theme. It goes with what my cab will look like once it's all done - it's Pop Art! I don't own any of these images, and borrowed them from all over the internet, modfied others, and even have some images from other themes.
Would love to know your thoughts, if you'd like to see any changes.
I have two versions, one that should work on a 27 inch monitor (via pc) and one set for a vertical machine (for those that have modfied Arcade 1up's.
Enjoy!!!

NEON DELUXE ARCADE - 16:9
-----------------------------------------------------
CREDITS
Huge thanks goes out to @y2guru for his Community Theme Creator Software and his endless personal help, also he created the animated wheels for this theme! @Hexxxer for the original inspiration of his FutureState theme. @Rincewind for the inspiration on his use of the icons. @faeranfor explaining the new marquee options in v12. Thanks guys!
-----------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION
1. Download the theme here and place the folder in Launchbox/Themes/
2. You might need to unblock the zip file or all the .DLL's in the plugin folder. Right click the zip or DLL files, choose properties and at the bottom you click "Unblock".
3. I recommend doing the following to speed up Big Box greatly:
- Uncheck all Background Images in Launchbox > Tools > Options > Media > Background Priorities
- Set all transitions to "None" in BigBox settings
- Use the Clean Up media tool in launchbox/tools/Clean Up Media... (this can really speed up lists with thousands of games and duplicate media)
- Defrag the drive that holds your media files
Hope you like and enjoy! ?

Fading Elegance
By The Papaw
I have brought the Fading Elegance themes "up-to-date" to work better with the newer versions of Bigbox. Covers over 200 platforms and 60 common playlists. Other cosmetic changes and fixes. (last 8 screenshots are SE only)
Feature: Slow changing color background
Feature: various fading in-and-out information areas
Includes: over 300 custom made genre and play mode images (includes a PS template)
Updated: added or replaced some badges, controllers and artwork.
Updated Video: (12-04-23)
Assets used in the video (already included in the SE version of the theme)
Stephen with Reverb - Platform Audio Clips PSGC Commercials - video snaps (download separately) PSGC Genre & Play Mode Images Startup Video PSGC Quiet Sound Pack some custom made Playlist videos The reason I had called the theme "Fading Elegance" was that I went for an elegant look, sharp edges and straight lines and designed certain information sections to be displayed for a few seconds, then fade out while fading in something new. Like in the platform views, it may start showing an image of the platform device, it will fade out, as the maximum number of players will fade in. These will rotate between the two. You will see this throughout the themes with various types of information. They have a smooth, slowly color changing background and have most all the bells and whistles that are available.
Just a heads up, the Fading Elegance themes are pretty resource hungry as there are some "behind the scenes" videos going on and all animations that are used. Feel free to give them a try on low end systems, if you have issues, you may be able to delete the audio clips and background videos to gain some improvement.
- To activate LAN - add LAN as a new "Play Mode" for the desired game(s)
- To activate ROM - add ROM as a new "Source" for the desired game(s)
- To activate Karaoke - add Karaoke as a new "Genre" for the desired game(s)
(bulk edit is easiest way to add new badges)
If you would like to use the new badges in Launchbox, you will need to download the Badge pack.
The SE version is being used in the video. The SE versions of my themes always have additional views and include Platform & Playlist audio clips. And of course, my supporters can change many of the assets by downloading them from the download section of my BMAC page.

Sleipnir
By blattacker
About:
This theme is inspired by Pegasus Frontend's default theme. I personally really love the look of Pegasus, but vastly prefer the functionality of Big Box, so this is me doing my best to combine both worlds. Excluding those credited below, all other custom assets were created by me. As a note: This theme was designed in 4K for use on a large television. Scaling issues present in previous versions have been fixed, to my knowledge. This WIP upload is intended to get fresh eyes on the project and help to identify issues I may not be running into with my limited usage, as well as provide a better version of this theme than was currently available during a period of time where I don't have as much free time as I have previously.
Credits:
Genre Icons: Game Icons
Platform Clear Logos: v2 Platform Logos Professionally Redrawn + Official Versions, New BigBox Defaults 2.1.0
Platform Banners (Present only in legacy versions): BannerBox 2.1
Platform Media: System Media - Stencil Platform Images 1.0.
Platform Images: COLORFUL Hardware PNG media (1x1) 1.1
Finally, many thanks to @y2guru for the Community Theme Creator. While this version no longer uses the CTC, I would have never started on this journey, nor gotten nearly as far, without it.

PSGC +Arcade
By The Papaw
PSGC +Arcade is about the same as PSGC with an Arcade twist. The PSGC +Arcade themes have been updated with even more custom made Platform/Playlist backgrounds, Audio Clips and Controllers. New screenshots (1-12 basic theme 13-26 SE version) (see changelog below for all the info). PSGC was made to match one of my themes (skins) done for the PSMC media player.
PSGC +Arcade is a Netflix type theme that is great for a home theater experience. The custom colorful fanart backgrounds transition to random Platform/Game artwork on the left side of the screen and to Platform/Playlist/Game video snaps on the right side of the screen after a couple seconds.
SE versions include all the bells and whistles; multiple views, textured backgrounds. SE users also have available to them: 13 platform/playlist audio packs, the platform/playlist video snaps, choice of backgrounds, custom badges that can be used in Launchbox, sound packs, custom made playlists used in the videos, and more.

Vertical Prototype (DEAD)
By goblindriver
*Deprecated 10/11/2023
This project is on ice. Launchbox and Bigbox have improved discoverability making most custom playlist work achievable using the in built filtering. The bezel artwork is still available in the links.
*Updated12/23/2020
Not much has changed. I included some images that I use for my platforms/playlists view.
This is a work in progress theme for Big Box Theme creator. It is meant for monitors in portrait mode with vertical game play videos. It is still pretty rough, but it's something to use until something better comes along. In order to use this you must also download the theme creator and drop this file in the my projects folder. There is a font to install in the fonts folder. Open and tweak and then publish to use in big box. Updated for theme creator 1.0.8.95
Arcade Overlays and Marquees can be found here.
Windows Vertical Videos and Marquees can be found here.
I'm using this theme only for games that support a vertical orientation during gameplay. It is untested with standard resolution games and the corresponding media.
I do have plan to expand this build for all arcade games at some point but I am focusing on vertical resolution stuff for now and there is a lot to do.
Options view is broken ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Haunted Woods (this is a Novelty theme)
By The Papaw
A year or two back when @faeran was making the "theme videos", he had done a halloween theme. I was cleaning up a bunch of my old theme stuff and ran across this one I had done back then but never uploaded. I did open it up in the current version of CTC and re-published it to see if it still worked.
I was brand spanking new at themes and CTC back then, but I was having so much fun with it and I most certainly got a bit carried away with it.
If you decide to download it and check it out, it will go on and on and on, but hang in there. Eventually it might grab a hold of ya.
WARNING 1: It's silly, but might be a bit scary to the little ones
WARNING 2: if you navigate to a new platform, the video sequence starts all over again, you been warned !
WARNING 3: If you watch the video, I reckon you won't have a reason to download the theme
WARNING 4: Please leave a comment, if you don't, there won't be any comments
- Enjoy

Cocktail Table Example view
By DemmyTree
I know this isnt very good as such but showing a potential style for the cocktail view that could be done, if anyone wants to use it for template please feel free, this may be useful for style.
My hope with the glass segment was the idea that if it transitioned between menus it would open and close like a door opening to selected platform/view that could occur, this is a single view for Vertical Wheel 1

YART (Yet Another Refried Theme)
By Baggio
So basically i have recreated RetroHumanoid's amazing Unified Refried theme in CTC and made quite a few changes to hopefully make it even better. The most notable changes are that it has more info when viewing games and the new movable 3D model boxes. I’ve also added the abilty to choose if you want Fanart or the default images as the background images and having images or text as in the bottom infobar. Atm its only 16:9 but if there is interest I’ll try and add more aspect ratios.
To get the most out of this theme you need box - fronts, box - backs and box spines in your Launchbox setup. You can do without the box - backs if you dont paln on rotating the 3D models though.
So the views it has so far;
3 Platform views 1 with a full screen video and vertical wheel, one with a smaller video and one that has a selectable favourites and recently played list
3 Wall views to kind of mimic Launchbox (need some tweaking still though)
4 Vertical Wheel games views with 2 different background choices like Refried, one with a big console/handheld/TV and dynamically changing images for different platforms. The other 2 are smaller images of the platform in the corner, without the dynamically changing platform images.
2 of the Vertical Wheel games views (1 dynamic and 1 not as above) have a clear logos wheel and movable 3D model boxes (front, back and spines images needed for full effect for all wheel views) and spinning CD or cart images
2 of the Vertical wheel games views (1 dynamic and 1 not as above) have a vertical box cases wheel as well as 3D movable boxes and and spinning CD or cart images
1 Text view which is mainly for the game selection options (play, read manual ect) with gameplay, title and game select screenshots.
----------
Features:
Dynamically changing platform images (like refried)
Dynamic Marquees for arcade games (like refried)
Dynamic Marquees/Backglass for Pinball games (Future Pinball, Pinball FX3 and Visual Pinball)
Moveable 3D model boxes
Controller images change in playmode for different platforms
Most badges shown
Publisher, genre, playmode and certification in infobar and game notes scrolling along the bottom
Fanart for the background if you wish.
---------
To change/remove certain images;
Wheel Views
For the Fanart as a background delete or rename the folder; Themes>YART>Media>Background. If you want the any of the Publisher, Genre, Playmode and PEGI/ESRB* images to show as text instead of the images, delete or rename the folders; Publisher Logos, Icons Genres, Icons Play Modes and both the Icons PEGI and Icons ESRB folder (to remove the certification), all are in; Themes>YART>Media. *( When the game certification is shown as text I can’t find a way for it to show the PEGI certification so it will say, M-Mature instead of 18 for example)
To change the certification Image from the EU PEGI to the US ESRB ratings, rename or delete folder; Themes>YART>Media>Icons PEGI To change the PEGI text to read ESRB in the wheels views go to the folder; Themes>YART>Views and; Open WheelGamesView.xaml, Wheel2GamesView.xaml, Wheel3GamesView.xaml, Wheel4GamesView.xaml and the TextGamesView.xaml in a text editor (Notepad++ is a good option) and find Text="PEGI: and replace it with Text="ESRB: in all 5 of the above views or just the one you use.
To Stop all the Discs from Spinning Open WheelGamesView.xaml, Wheel2GamesView.xaml, Wheel3GamesView.xaml and Wheel4GamesView.xaml in a text editor and search for BeginTime="00:00:02.5" To="360" Duration="00:00:05" RepeatBehavior="Forever"> and replace with BeginTime="00:00:00.0" To="0" Duration="00:00:00" RepeatBehavior="Forever">
You need to do this twice (or replace all in Notepad++) as there are 2 entries you need to replace to stop them all spinning, one for the CDs and one for the Mini CDs
Wall Views
For Fanart to show for the Wall Views delete or rename the folder; Themes>YART>Media>WallViewBackground To change the certification Image from the EU PEGI to US ESRB overwrite the files in the folder; Themes>YART>Media>Icons PEGI Wall, with files in the Themes>YART>Media>Icons ESRB Wall folder. ----------------------
Text filter and Platform 3, recently played and favourites
For these to show you need to go to Options>Views in Bigbox and enable "show filters recent games" and "show filters favourite games"
Launchbox controls what images are shown in the recently played and favourites. To change what type of image is used go to image group and choose the type of image you want to use in the dropdown (shown below). This seems to be platform specific as well so you need to go through them all. (Boxes or 3D Boxes work best others don't work well)
----------------
Front and Back Images
To have more Front and Back boxes show on the 3D models (If the proper front and back ones arent available) i recommend setting these priorities in Launchbox.
Credit:
@RetroHumanoid and his amazing Unified Refried on which this built on. Whilst i have made a lot of images myself most are from his theme (especially the video borders).
@faeran for his Unified CTC which i used as a template to start this (and it taught me how to use the Community Theme Creator)
@y2guru for the unbelievable Community Theme Creator
If I’m missing others I’m really sorry as i have been at this for a while off and on so may have used other people images somewhere a long the line.
Lastly, this is my first effort at theme creation so bear with me if things aren't as they should be. I'll fix any problems ASAP if you guys find any issues
P.S. Please give me suggestions on what to do with views that haven't been filled yet or changes that could me made to the current views.
-------------------------------------------
Wheel 1, Wheel 2 Handhelds and Wheel 3 views showing the 3D boxes

Essence
By DazStelfox79
Welcome to Essence an elegant theme with a beautiful animated background that compliments the Home Screen & all Game views .
It was designed in a screen resolution of 1920x1080 with Windows Scale & Layout settings at 100% so hopefully it should work with other screen resolutions.
No need for Steam Banners as this theme is just for box images only.
Make sure you Refresh all images in BigBox options/Image Cache.
Make sure you set Platform & Game images as Boxes within the game options in Launchbox.
INSTALLATION
Download the zip file and unblock it (right click the zip file, goto "Properties" then at the bottom put a tick in the "Unblock" box, hit ok when done) then extract the folder to --\Launchbox\Themes.
Big thanks to faeran for the inspiration of a (Spotlight), Featured game in platform view from his 3-Dimensions theme

Titan
By DazStelfox79
Titan is a multimedia theme for all your games, movies, music & tv which shines on your living room TV.
This theme starts up with details of a featured game or movie ect relating to the platform, playlist or category selected on your Home Screen to remind you of what is in your collection. The top row on Home Screen is all your Platforms & Playlists ect & the bottom row is a collection of Recently Played short cuts which once highlighted will display Fan Art & Metadata to remind you of what you were previously playing.
It was designed in a screen resolution of 1920x1080 with Windows Scale & Layout settings at 100% so hopefully it should work with other screen resolutions.
All Steam Banners are required to be in the original size of 460x215 in order to scale correctly in this theme which can be downloaded from www.steamgriddb.com
Make sure you Refresh all images in BigBox options/Image Cache.
This theme is highly customisable as there are many Platform & Games views to choose from all with changeable menu controls, British/European & American Movie & Game age rating images, Avatar pictures for your profile & you can even put your own name with your avatar.
INSTALLATION
Download the zip file and unblock it (right click the zip file, goto "Properties" then at the bottom put a tick in the "Unblock" box, hit ok when done) then extract the folder to --\Launchbox\Themes.
Make sure you set Platform & Game images as Steam Banners within the game options in Launchbox. Then for them to be used in the theme correctly set the priority of the boxes view to prioritise Steam Banners first - if you ever want to revert this it is then simply a case of lowering the priority of the steam banners in the boxes list rather than having to remove or reorganise images. To do this open Launchbox and go to Tools --> Options and in the window that appear select Box Front Properties in the Images section and use the Up button to move the Steam Banners to the top of the list.
Included in my theme is alternative control layouts for Microsoft Xbox & Sony Playstation consoles, a collection of steam Banners for games of various platforms which i have resized to 460x215 & a collection of Movie Box Images, Clear Logos, Background Wallpapers & Steam Banners to get you started or download the brilliant plugin Movie Scraper (Reboot 2023) from JoeViking245 to download Movie metadata, Link is below.

RetrOS - Commodore Amiga
RetrOS - Commodore Amiga
Here is the last theme for now in my series of little system specific OS based themes I have been working on, this one is based on the Commodore Amiga Workbench 2.0. It is quite a bit more complex than my other two themes, it comes with a whole set of system & genre artwork which are mostly edited and re-coloured versions of the default LaunchBox icons, along with some of my own original pixel-art icons to fill in the gaps. The theme also includes an animated startup theme and a shutdown theme.
There are some little easter eggs here and there that should hit those nostalgia buttons...
