INTRO:

In a dark alley lit by black light and neon, an arcade resides; Neon Deluxe Arcade.

Neon Deluxe Arcade - Badges

Neon Deluxe Arcade - Big Box Theme

Neon Deluxe Arcade - Launchbox Theme

Neon Deluxe Arcade - Startup Theme (Street)

CREDITS:
Huge Thanks to @Grila for the inspiration and his permission and kindness to use his codes for especially the left sidebar and more from his LBPlex Launchbox Theme. Also huge thanks to @Rincewind for the inspiration and his permission and kindness to use his code of the Rincewind Launchbox Theme for full screen background images. I couldn't have made it as it is without you guys! Thanks to @C-Beats for adding the steam achievements to the theme, and the code for clear logos! Thanks to @faeran for the tip about video background transparency and the coding for the play time tracker. @Retro808 for the filters code, thanks man!

FEATURES:
More than I can mention, you just have to see it in action, one thing I can mention is that it features a bright green and slightly larger cache progress bar so you can't miss it when it's working to make a smooth experience :)

INSTALLATION:
Extract folder "Neon Deluxe Arcade LB" to Launchbox/LBThemes. Open Launchbox, go to Tools/Options/(Leftside bar) Visuals/Choose the theme in the dropdown bar. 

Tip: Tools/Options/Theme/Colors > Choose "Midnight Blue" for anything that was not possible to color change in Launchbox theming.

Important: This theme does not use fanart or platform backgrounds but a static 4K quality background, there are 7 backgrounds to choose from in the separate download, the image you want to display should be named "Background-01.jpg" and overwritten in \LBThemes\Neon Deluxe Arcade LB\Images. In order to get it working as you see in the screenshots please set your background settings to:

 settings.thumb.PNG.58bf1e70e2c58e151b7077f742276927.PNG

Hope you enjoy, have fun brothers!

I know you can't please everyone but my perfect theme would be this mixed with Rincewind. The only thing keeping me from using this one is the resizing of the boxes depending on the size of the game box art.  I like the boxes to be the same size, keeping the text aligned but that's just my OCD :D

Otherwise, it's a great job 👍

Thanks man! I'm sorry I can't help you out with that, to be honest I already need help to put new code in, can't even remember how I made this theme lol going cross eyed looking at it in notepad++.

Heya, love the theme!
However, is there any way to raise the size of the font of the game titles (the game names on the bottom of the box art)? No setting I tried seemed to be able to make it bigger.

Thanks!

Thanks glad you like :) You'd have to change it in the xaml files I think.

Is this available in the default launchbox theme?

I don't know, but can be seen in the screenshots of your own theme, in the screenshots for the Neon Deuxe Theme.

But then why do you theme show the manufacturer?

You might need the old 2,4 version of the theme, as it looks like 2.7 is based off of the official default theme.

Well I think you should show the company that makes the game again. It looks very good.

Can yoy upload more screenshots? There are very few images. It could look a lot more if you take 20 or 30 screenshots.

I think 3 screenshots are enough, why would you want 20 to 30 screenshots?

Because the rest of the themes have a lot of screenshots. Anyway, it's just a request. By the way, version 2.8 gives me an error. I get a window with a lot of text and the game detail panel does not change anything.

But a Launchbox theme only has a Image and a text view, so you would have 15 images all looking the same.

Funciona muy bien aquí en la versión beta de ayer.

I have the latest Beta from two weeks ago, but I think it's not the one from yesterday. I'm going to install it.

@Mr. RetroLust Thanks for the improvements on your Theme. I noticed that in the default LB Theme there is an "Overview" tab next to the "Achievements" tab. But the Overview tab is missing in Neon Deluxe. Is this intentional? It's not a big deal, just asking. Also i added it myself. If anyone i interested, just overwrite Margin="0" with:

Margin="6,0"
Text="{TemplateBinding Header}"

in the GameDetailsView.xaml

Oh damn I just thought it was the header text nothing more, I don't use achievements myself but do I understand you correctly that it is a link that opens a new tab?
