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

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!

This is such an awesome theme! Any chance for an updated version to show MAME high scores in the game details bar? Thanks!

Glad you like :) I'll give it a try once the launchbox version with this new function is out of beta

Very nice theme, thank you very much? Just a quick question.

How do I change the background picture to one of the other 6?

I see them in the images folder, but I don't know how to change them in launchbox.

Thanks.

Thanks, got it working. Just to clarify something else.

If I click on a game now, it won't display the game's fanart but the image I selected?

Is this correct?

Looks like you have a really old version of Launchbox, that probably doesnt even support Launchbox themes.

This could be a LB issue but I feel like it may be the font used on this theme? I have noticed with the MAME high score tables that sometimes 8's look like 0's. You can see it here with the top score being 780,800 but in the table to the right in the game details section that it appears as 700,800:

image.thumb.png.0e6187bca6ca81ce734e9c4c920773ee.pngI have noticed that with a lot of games. If you feel or can categorically know it is not anything to do with your wonderful theme I will post in the MAME High Score troubleshooting thread, thanks ?

I do think it also has to do with differences in displays and/or viewing distance as I clearly see the difference between the 8's and 0's on the image lol ;)

Yes there is a definite distinction between some of them but then some are clearly not clear. There are differences making some of them indistinguishable and I did not know if it was a font which was a bit unsuited. I thought I would just pass it on is all in case it was something needing attention, if not though, all is good.

If I'll get this feedback more times in the future i'll look into changing the font.

Hello everybody, im a fresh launchbox user from belgium and have spent the last 48 hour setting up launchbox and bigbox for the first time. Im am very pleased with the results so far.

I am using the Neon Deluxe Arcade for big box and everything is working smoothly. However when i use the launchbox version of this theme it does not realy resemble the screenshots and videos posted here. I will attach some screenshots so you guys can see whats happening. Any idea whats going on?

Welcome! That doesnt look like it supposed to, try removing the theme and reinstall it in the LBthemes folder.

Thanks for your reply, and also thanks for this awesome theme bigbox looks awesome with it.

I already tried that, even more i tried using all 3 versions you have available for download (1.9,2.0 and2.1). With similar effects for each. Is it possible my version of launchbox is to new for this theme. I am using version 10.14

Yeah, i did set it up this way, but no luck. In the meantime i switched back to the default launchbox theme. It doesn't realy matter. As long as the bigbox theme works fine. Thanks anyhow
