About This File
WoodPanels has the old school retro feel of playing games on an old TV in a room with bad, green carpeting, but golden wooden paneled walls. The video game console or platform appears above or beside the television to match that look and feel. It is paired with a set of 8-bit fonts to complete the experience.
- Supports Ultrawide 21:9, Widescreen 16:9, and Fullscreen 4:3 aspect ratios.
- Playlist support! Watch the video frame and video size dynamically change to match the selected platform and game.
- Unique views for 53 platforms with support for game videos, game 3D/2D box art, game cart images, game logos, platform logos, and platform box art.
- Consoles are paired with a TV from the same decade they were released. PCs likewise are paired with a monitor or setup from the same era.
- "Wall View" for looking at game boxes on shelves is accompanied by the platform logo and image of the original console packaging.

Platforms with game cart image support: Atari Jaguar, NeoGeo, Nintendo 64, Sega 32X, Sega Genesis, and Super Nintendo Entertainment System
How to use: Download the game cart images through Launchbox, then open LaunchBox Options>Media>Cart Front Priorities>Uncheck all but "Cart - Front". If you don't do this, if you are missing cart images for any games on these platforms, BigBox will pull something else and look...bad.
To replace the background image, replace background.png in the directory:
\LaunchBox\Themes\WoodPanels\Media\Background\
(must be named "background.png" and must be in png format)
Startup Video:
This is a startup video I created for my theme. It features a logo for "Nescade" which is what I call my multi-emulator PC, as it sits inside of an old Nintendo's shell. I commissioned Rushjet1 a while back to compose an original piece of 8-bit music specifically for this video. Hope you all enjoy it!
