# 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 !! :x

 

# 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

  1.  In Windows : Right here, with the download button. Extract the "Colorful" folder and place it in your "LaunchBox/Themes" directory.   (dont rename it!)
  2.  In BigBox : Option > Theme manager > Found "COLORFUL - Light" or "COLORFUL - Dark"

 

# HOW TO EDIT ?
You can now edit this theme within the COMMUNITY Theme Creator, using the COMMUNITY Theme Creator files below (current version from the CTC 2.3):

@vikingReally love the theme, HOPE the Creator or someone skilled can help answer a question

Im using the DARK version and when using Vertical view 1 or 2 while scrolling through games there is a HUGE EMPTY SPACE, I was wondering if i can replace the empty space with the default console/arcade/handheld png,

 

Ive done some editing myself to adjust but cant get the Hardware set images to load (here is the empty space)

https://ibb.co/CJS0sGD

 

and replace that empty space with the pictures from hardware set folder

https://ibb.co/7YZwFY3

 

So replace FULL SCREEN WHITE with the hardware set images, I noticed it was designed to show folder only if platform name matches exact image so i dont know if its posible to do it the way its been created (if u need to redesign the code to make it work then dont worry)

 

Much Help would be good

This is fantastic work, thank you!

If you want to be great, you could upload a more complete/current version of the Theme Creator files, it seems to be a much earlier WIP.

I am not able to get the device PNG images to display before transitions to videos for all custom playlists and categories,  basically for all the ones that don't have a colour attributed in the theme files and default to the green box (where it shows number of players , year etc either for games or Platforms). Is it expected?

When I enter the genre or series menu (two views I use a lot) I am greeted by an empty screen showing only the number of games in the first genre in my list, but with no genre title or art or...well anything. its a blank page with just the number of games in the first genre listing. If I navigate up or down then the genre list appears and this is the view I wish it to default to. Is there anyway to make this change? Is there anyway in general to make it so the first entry in a list does not auto play, for lack of a better term?

Would it be possible to add new CTC files to the original post?  

CTC 3.2 crashes when you try and view the wheelsgamesview with these older 2.3 versions.

Thanks
