Ah, OK, so you are in the platform view here, i was confused as you had a game video in your screenshot. OK this is a very simple fix, you need to download some platform videos, currently you don't have any, and you also have the option on to show a random game video when you don't have a platform video. There are links to the videos on the themes download page, and they are also i believe available directly in the Launchbox downloader, Tools/Download Playlist/Platform videos. What you see there in the SNES image you posted is a fullscreen 16:9 video, not just a small video in the middle of images, the whole thing is a video file.

That is absolutely perfect! All set up and working now, thank you so much

Hello is there a way to add the scrolling description for games at the bottom in the game selection screens? Like in the Unified Redux theme?

Did you ever figure out how to do this?

Hello. I really like your theme, its my favorite out of all of them. I had a question regarding the GameMarqueeView. I designed my own dynamic marquee in the theme editor which pulls arcade marquees for arcade games and generates marquees for console games using the clear logo file, the game box art and the game cartridge art. I would really like to incorporate this file into my version of the Refried theme, but it does not look like your theme utilizes this file. Is there a way to get my file to work? Or should I post this in the forum as a question?

Any chance someone makes arcade\videoboarder3 .png file for 3 player playlist like this is for 2?

Excellent theme, this should be the default big box theme, but as much as I try, I don't understand where to put the platform category videos, for example the SNK Neo Geo MVS one in which folder exactly should it go?

Somewhat depends on your setup if under Playlist or Platform (most likely a Playlist).  In my case the MVS is a playlist as shown below in snaps. You can double check your setup by editing the entry for your MVS and seeing what is shown in the upper left tab (playlist or platform).  If it shows Playlist then you place those under Videos, Playlists for your theme.  The name for the video must also match what you have in your unique name for that playlist or platform.

Double check you have followed the addon's install process.  For example, the character png files are in these folders. 

Also make sure you have a view change button mapped to your controller in Big Box Options. 

@sundogak Thanks for the reply. 
I tried several times by following the instructions but seems i make still something wrong. I will try again when i am at my PC. 

is there a way to make the platform selction theme the main menu theme?
for example... super nintendo.. when you click into super nintendo the theme has the super nintendo logo on top and a video window... can i get that theme on the main menu screen but with a random video

Is there a way to display fullscreen games theme while keeping the game list wheel on the right visible all the time?

Firstly, a very nice theme. It is my favourite due to the size of my monitor being an ultrawide. So this works pretty well for me.

I do have a couple of questions though.

1)  I love Platform view 3, and sadly disappointed to find that this is not a game view. I have very basic e.g no knowledge of BB and skinning for it, but is there a way that the platform view, could be made into a game view?

2) The skin keeps defaulting to Platform view, when I want it to go to Platform Cats upon loading. I did lock the screen, but every time I load I have to unlock and then change the view. Is there a way of defaulting to Platform cats or anything of my choosing?

Thanks for any help given. Ok scrub that, I sorted everything out myself.

Thanks to CTC I have managed to do what I want now. I still have a lot to learn on how to use it properly, but as I only wanted a basic skin this is great for my needs.

Regards

Mark
