    VisionN-Lite Colorful Redux

    By JAKAMY

    For the fastest game browsing experience please use both VisionN-Lite Colorful Redux and The Grid-Instant Redux.

    I wanted to make the main platform theme as fast as possible and responsive instantly to button press like Beacon Game Launcher.
    I purchased and tried them all on Android and honestly not are as good as Launchbox (I can't live without the remote nas game lists and the minute access to xmls). Hopefully a solution is made to make the skin system 60fps smooth and responsive and a way to easily create more themes as their manual coding is... 🫢
    2 themes where modded, The Grid-Instant and this here: I remade all (maybe) art for Faeran's VisionN-Lite 1.0 theme to be as clear as possible when scrolling and went with Colourful's art theme. 
    What changed from VisionN-Lite 1.0:
    Added custom consoles and handleds clear logos to match the Arcade one. Recreated all assets using Colouful art by adding backgound and graphical effects and made some custom ones for Backgrounds and Backgrounds2 Made the theme use png instead of jpg (jpg reduction of color look bad on oled screens and make gradients circular even at 100%) Optimized the png files using Caesium image compressor. Modded Faeran theme (VisionN-Lite 1.0) Used viking Colourful background and Hardware set (COLORFUL platform video set 2.1.5) Used Yorrick36 Clear logos for genres (Iconic Genre Playlist Clear Logo Set 1.0.1) Cheers
    PS: I will try to lower the images' resolution than the default ones for the backgrounds and if it works and is faster and looks good I'll update this theme mod.

    The Grid-Instant Redux 1.1.mp4    
    2 themes where modded, VisionN-Lite 1.0 and this here: I removed all animation delays and made screenshot loading direct for Faeran's The Grid 1.2 theme to be as clear and fast as possible when scrolling. 
    What changed from The Grid 1.2:
    Removed all animations delaying existing media for the selected game when scrolling. Made screenshots load directly as even without animation it was slow. Made text and labels load instantly too. Left background art load with delay as clear logos, text and screenshots are what most important and didn't want to stress performance. Modded Faeran theme (The Grid 1.2)  
    Cheers

  3. More information about "RetroMags - Pocket Edition"

    RetroMags - Pocket Edition

    By faeran

    RetroMags - Pocket Edition is a port that is loosely based on my Big Box Theme of a similar name. Retro Magazine inspired, each Platform is represented by their own custom magazine cover. It utilizes custom images, including a platform background, character, and controller. It also has a repository of platform slogans, used for the tagline on each magazine cover.
     
    Add/Change Custom Images
    If you would like to change or add any of the magazine covers (each image should be named after their respective platform/filter):
    Magazine Overlay - LaunchBox\Themes\RetroMags - Pocket Edition\Images\Magazine Overlay  
    Add/Change Slogans
    If you wish to change or add any slogans, open the following file:
    LaunchBox\Themes\RetroMags - Pocket Edition\Filters Views\Horizontal Mags.xaml Close to the top you'll see a list of slogans within the resource dictionary. Make a copy of ones of the lines and adjust the platform name (name must match the name of your filter or platform), and replace the slogan. Here's an example of one of the lines:
    <x:String x:Key="Atari 2600">Have you played your Atari today?</x:String>  
    What's Included
    Horizontal Mags filters view - Wheel based, horizontal navigation Vertical Mags game view - Wheel based, vertical navigation

  7. More information about "VisioN - Lite"

    VisioN - Lite

    By faeran

    This theme was inspired by the Big Box theme of the same name. It is a lightweight version of the theme that utilizes the same style. The original was a stylish, background heavy focused theme with inspiration from the unreleased Aura 4k theme by iGarikoitz. There are many differences between the two themes, some are added benefits while others were compromises that needed to be made to make it work on the multitude of Android devices. This theme only contains one filters view at the moment. No game views are included and have not been designed up to this point.

  10. More information about "Simplified COLORFUL Platform View Videos"

    Simplified COLORFUL Platform View Videos

    By Bawnanable

    Hey folks! 
    So, for this theme I've edited together some of the beautiful platform videos seen within the COLORFUL BigBox theme by @viking-- and with their permission I'm uploading these if anyone here is interested! I've basically repositioned the videos to the right-hand side so that the standard 'Wheel with Details' theme fits nicely on the left (plus some other minor amendments such as console startups and colour changes). Please see below for a little example of what it looks like below;

    OdinLite_LaunchBox_v01_Compressed.mp4    
     
    What's Included
    x19 H264 platform videos to be used in conjunction with the standard 'Wheels with Details' theme:
    Android, NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, GameBoy, GameBoy Color, GameBoy Advance, Nintendo DS, Master System, Mega Drive (Genesis), Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, Sega GameGear, SNK NeoGeo Pocket Color, Playstation 1, Playstation 2, Sony PSP  
    Installation Instructions
    Extract the [platform videos] from the .zip file to an appropriate location. Open Launchbox and change the Platform view to the standard [Wheel with Details] theme. Hold on a platform and tap Edit Media, and then tap Browse for New MP4 Video and select the corresponding video file to the platform (you will need to repeat this across all platforms) On the Platform page tap View Settings and adjust the Background Fade Amount to 0. Enable Background Videos, and Disable both Show Box Image and Show Text Details.  
    @faeran I know this isn't an ordinary theme upload, so please feel free to move it if this isn't the right space for it. Also, thank you for everything you do!

    Faeran Startups - (Launching Views for LaunchBox for Android)

    By faeran

    Now that Launching Views are themeable in LaunchBox for Android, I was playing around with making a bunch of them. I will be using this post for any extra Launching Views that I made that don't quite fit into a particular theme. Therefore, this download will only add my collection of Launching Views to LaunchBox for Android that are not tied to any theme. When I come up with an idea for another Launching View, I will update this file with it.

    What's Included
