theme COLORFUL bigbox theme 2.03

I have the fixed hex codes here, they worked for me, so let me know if they work for you or not

ScummVM- #e7931a

Sammy Atomiswave- #3abd70

SNK Neo Geo CD- #ae90e4

I have four Hex codes for you @viking that fixed the problem for me.  Hopefully These help in the long run.

Sega Genesis = #b72d2e

ScummVM = #e7931a

Sammy ATomiswave = #3abd70

SNK Neo Geo CD = #ae90e4

If anyone else runs across this problem and doesn't have photoshop, you can upload a screenshot of your screen and test different hex codes here= https://imagecolorpicker.com/en, then once you have it change the appropriate hex code in the corresponding .xaml file (depends on your platform view)

Saturn = #5a79d9

N64 = #1ab761

Thanks for the website suggestion carthage.

Love the theme but I get this error coming back from a platform to the platform view:

Currently testing the new theme. Great enhancement! I have a weird behavior though, black screen when no video available using Wheel2GamesView.xaml. Aren't screenshot supposed to show up then?

Thanks for this release!

Having the same issue along with exiting game details page will show an entire blank page in game selection screen with only audio.

I downloaded the latest files in this thread, and installed them. In the theme manager within big box though, it reports as version 1.0 (not 2.x), and says there is an update to 1.1 available.

Because 2.0 is not available from within Bigbox yet, so it is unaware of this version. That manage theme section is really meant for managing themes that are downloaded from within Bigbox, not for themes from the forums.

I'm having an issue within theme creator where I keep getting errors when trying to edit any of the game views. Anyone else having the same problems?

This is the error I was mentioning.

If you want to catch the eye of the dev that works on the CTC, best post this in his thread.

@faeran Gotcha, thank you. 

Is this laggy for anyone else when browsing games with the text list view?  I think it's the art that loads that causes it, but not sure.   Don't have an issue with art loading in other themes with this view.

Hi - great theme. Are there any plans to add a wall view mode for game selection?

I noticed that ps vita's system view has no console picture. Its in the files but is not displaying, I changed the file name to sony psp and it shows up under psp. So is the file name wrong? Its called Sony PS Vita.png, I cant find a reference to .png's in the view files. It seems like an easy fix if I understood what I was doing. lol.

Platform image names will need to match how your platform is named in your specific set-up. So in this case there was just no Sony PSP.png renaming the Vita one helped.

Thanks Retro, I renamed the .png to "Sony Playstation Vita" which is the folder name. Now it shows up! thanks again.

One more question. I want to add a clear logo to the FM Towns system. How would I do that? the clear logo folders under theme are empty and the Platforms folder under Images is also empty.

You can add them to your main image library. If you add them to the theme's image folder then only that theme will use the image. This is a good method if you want specific logos to go with specific themes. However, If you want any theme to use them then add it to your main \Launchbox\Images\Platforms\[Platform Name]\Clear Logo folder.

Hey Retro, I tried that but it didn't seem to work. I tried them in the theme folder as well but no luck. My last problem was naming could this be a wrong name situation too?logo wheel.mkv

The clear logo image name needs to match the platform name exactly as you have it named on your set up. If it does not show when added to the correct folder than you need to clear your image cache. In BB settings there is an option to clear the image cache. 

Thanks again Retro. This time it was the cache that was living in the past. ITs looking sweet now. 😁

Hi there, I'm new to Bigbox. Just installed Colorful Light theme but something is going wrong in platform view.
After choosing the system (e.g. CDTV), instead of seeing the system image over the colored background, a black box overrides the system image.

Can somebody help me?

You have to download the platform videos separately.
In LaunchBox > Tools > Download > Platform/Playlist Themes Video

You select Colorful HD or 4K, and clic download.

This is definitely my favorite so far but I do have an issue with missing system logos. The ones missing are NEC TurboGrafx CD, Nintendo Famicom Disk System, SNK Neo Geo Pocket, SNK Neo Geo Pocket Color, and Microsoft MSX.

I am very new to this so sorry if there is an obvious solution I didn't see.
