# HERE IS COLORFUL THEME FOR BIGBOX:
On this page we are talking about COLORFUL Theme for BigBox:
Design for work with my platform video set, COLORFUL THEME is thought to be used on the big screen (TV) in gaming console mode.
Modern, elegant and animated are the key words of this interface.
The COLORFUL project is getting too big for me alone.
@faeran has taken over the source code of the theme. A BIG THANKS to you for your support and your precious help !!
# IN DETAIL ?
The main features :
- 16:9 only. (Works on other ratio, but with black bands)
- Full 4K asset. (Any resolution must work, 4K assets)
- Totally responsive. No resolution deformation on text size or placement.
- Because of the white/black background, some ClearLogo comes with the theme.
- Gamepad connection indicator & battery level.
# RECOMMENDATION ?
Any design choice gives limitations. Here are some recommendations for this theme :
- LaunchBox/BigBox up to date.
- VLC highly recommended.
- Design for work with COLORFUL platform video set. (but you can use any video you what)
- Beware of full white/black ClearLogo. They will be invisible on Light/Dark views!
- I didnt test this theme on a lowend configuration. There may be slowdown. (Curious to have your feedback on this subject!)
# COOL, HOW TO DOWNLOAD ?
2 ways :
- In Windows : Right here, with the download button. Extract the "Colorful" folder and place it in your "LaunchBox/Themes" directory. (dont rename it!)
- In BigBox : Option > Theme manager > Found "COLORFUL - Light" or "COLORFUL - Dark".
