theme WoodPanels 4.1.5 alpha

Great stuff. I would echo what the review says with regards to adding additional backgrounds and screens according to taste. Keep up the good work and I look forward to what you do next.

I'm really digging the style and simplicity of this theme! However, it would be great if the box artwork were somehow incorporated into the games list layout. Otherwise, fantastic work!

Great suggestions, thank you for the encouragement!

Great theme !

I just change the background for something abstract, it makes the theme more in my taste!

I love it, thank you very much for your work :)

Hi ! Sorry for my late reply, well it's not a crazy custom.. because I just got an abstract background from Google image... It could be better, but I pretty like it like this :-)

 

Please add Sinclair ZX Spectrum in next update please

Hi everyone please fill out this brief survey which will help inform me of whether or not to include support for cart images (certain platforms only) in the next major version:

your a superstar mate ?

I would enjoy a view that gave game info like release date and number of players and same with consoles. I love this theme but the only thing that would make it better for me would be loading all the metadata and displaying it.  I have a lot of multidisc games too and its confusing what disc is what as well.

I chose to hide that information for a clean look, but I'm not opposed to making an alternate version for you.  Where would you recommend I put that metadata?

Maybe bottom right?

 

Heres the most important things i came up with

Number of players

Region

Release date/publisher

Description

Maybe a file name to show what disc a multidisc game is. Not sure this is needed still new to launchbox

Any more data seems like a bonus. Thank you!

 

I have also seen some themes that use icons to display this data like a picture that says 1p 2p 4p etc along with genre icons and ratings, etc.  Some things dont even need to be text although i think i would prefer looking at nicely laid out text

Is it possible to add your own console picture (for what sits on top of the TV)? I tried to add a PS3, by adding the picture in DeviceFront and naming it the same as the platform, but it didn't work.

In theory? It's probably just easier if I add it to the theme proper. If you have a good image of the console / controller to use please send it on over and I'll add it to the theme.

Thanks, hopefully these work well, I added the box cause I figure if you are gonna do those 2 you probably want to do the box too. 

@Maul83 I updated it to support PlayStation 3.  Please take a look and let me know if anything is off.

@retrogamer459 Still working on trying out your request; it will take some more time.

I have updated the theme here for now; will submit it for inclusion in BigBox proper later on.

Looks great! Thanks for adding that! 

thnx for this awsome theme wil test it when i'm streaming.

@retrogamer459 Alright here's what I got mocked up.  I had to kill the gigantic baseboard to make room.  Is this what you're looking for?  Also, as far as the disc number, if you set up your games correctly then you should only have one listing per game, not one per disc.  It's different depending on the system and emulator you're using but as far as LaunchBox goes it's pretty easy.  See this thread for some info

? When can i test?

Is there also info in platform view?  I enjoy seeing when a system was released and a little info on it when browsing.

This seems to cover all the bases.

Thanks for your hard work!

Excited for the version with additional info!  How close do you suspect you are to releasing it?  My project is coming along rather nicely and I think this will be the finishing touch to bring it all together.  3d printing a case to merge my external hdd with my mini pc now.
