About This File

This theme gives you the ability to specify the startup images you want per game or platform.  I created this as I wanted to display controller mapping for each game as it loads to go with the Game Control FS pause theme by  @Retro808 and did not see a startup theme that already existed for this.  It will display any image you have or create that is game or platform specific when the game loads.  It displays the LaunchBox default "Game Over" screen with a clear logo added when a game is exited.

All images must be placed in a specific folder structure and follow a standard LaunchBox naming convention to work with this theme.  Instruction are provided in the read me text file in the download.

The theme uses .png images by default but can easily be modified (1 edit) to use .jpg images.

Hi, this is exaclty what I am looking for but where do I place the xaml files?

 

Edit: NVM, I am tired and slow, apparently.

I have recently moved across from RL/Hyperspin setup in which I had fade screens for each MAME game to show controls. This would be ideal for my needs - I've followed the default setup but all I get is black screen on game boot and exit?  (in both Launchbox and Bigbox)

Yep png's from my old setup. In the correct folder, file name matches the rom name etc. The 'default' startup screens work if i select those, but custom themes are just black

The images are rendered by BigBox and not the theme.  If your images work elsewhere with BigBox, I would think it is a naming problem.  Make sure you use the same name that LaunchBox uses to identify the ROM.

Any chance of tweaking this theme to work with launchbox database ID for file names for platform specific images? Someone did similar for the Pause Screen Theme but wasn't sure it was possible here as well? Outside my experience level.
