Glad to hear that! And the new posters are a nice touch also!

Looks interesting, but it produces an error at startup.

Yep, very sorry about that and I apologize for the very late response. Ever since Launchbox/BigBox changed the theme system with recent updates, this theme no longer works properly. I'm currently rebuilding this from the ground up and will upload a working version in the coming weeks.

No need to apologize, glad that people spend the time to make nice things like this ?

What part broke? We did our best to ensure that any existing themes still function correctly with this latest version. Be curious to know what we may have potentially missed.

Not sure, but this was a fork of the "Nostalgia" theme (by eatkinola), and I had the same crash-issue with that theme. I'll take a look at it once more tonight and check to see what happens with the latest official version of BigBox

UPDATE:

Just tried this theme now and I get hit with a barrage of errors, including this one:

Note (to anyone out there who might be following this thread), I've recently updated this with a slimmed-down, working version. More updates to come, so stay tuned

Is there any way to make the videos stretch to fill the screen? Some of my videos have black bars horizontally.

Simply amazing theme. My favorite so far.

Thanks a lot! Unfortunately though, with 16x9 videos and screenshots, I wasn't able to fix that issue, while 4x3 videos seem to be fine. What I will probably do, in the near future, is make a 2nd version for HD 16x9, and that way users can switch between the themes and use them with the appropriate (mostly newer) systems

Thanks for such a quick response. That's the interesting part, I haven't had issues with 16:9 videos, it's some of my 4:3 videos showing with black bars on the side. Some show fine. Most likely a weird aspect ratio. I thought maybe there was a way to force the theme to stretch the video regardless of aspect ratio. Oh well, it's not really a big deal. Cheers!

Yep! I went back and took a look at this theme now and noticed that all videos (16x9, 4x3) look fine and fill up the screen, with an exception of a few odd shaped, unusual ratio videos. But the screenshots (all ratios) all have that same problem. It's certainly not a deal-breaker but it would be nice if I could find a more uniform and consistent style, and I'll see what I can cook up with the latest version of Community Theme Creator.

I appreciate your hard work on this awesome theme. You're making me want to make one myself lol.  After that MS-DOS one I made back in 2017, I never got the urge to make anything else.
