Does this work on the newest version of Launchbox? It seems to not do anything for me once I apply the theme, however all the other custom themes I've installed work fine. A bug maybe?

Fixed the issue! Just weirdly wasn't working for a bit

New issue though, going into Games List automatically crashes Big Box. Any reason for this that you know of? Platform view works fine

To be more specific, the error window that pops up says "Could not find part of the path C:\LaunchBox\Plugins\Data\Platforms.xml'"

Thanks for the info!
Unfortunately yes, it still does the same error on the Horizontal Wheel and game view in general will crash Big Box. Same error listed as before

Hmm strange, could you pm me some error screenshots? Perhaps also send me your Game Library Data files if it is ok for you so I can test it on my PC with identical game entries.

Hey, this is a great theme! One thing though, N64 games, and any other game that has non-DVD boxes are displaying incorrectly. Is there a way to fix this?

We could add per platform views with adjusted box scaling or alternative general views without the boxes being sized equally. Currently I setup the code to stretch them all to a uniform form so all game boxes look kinda equal to retain the styling. PC boxes are mostly a bit stretched and older console game boxes a bit squished - thought this should be in most cases a good unnoticable compromise.

Hi, is there any chance to get a kind of animation when one of the platform it's selected? Is it possible get also an animation for the arrows  on the side?
I also noticed that some games who use keyboard doesn't show the badge.

Thank you for this great theme by the way, it's a great work. I hope you're going to support this theme as best as you can!

Sure we can have a look at it - do you have any particular animations in mind? Could be that I just forgott to add the keyboard badge to the list - will look into it soon.

Maybe something like this? Haha Unfortunately I don't have any idea where to find animations samples like this. 
Another nice feature it would be guide buttons pad like this: image.png.518393ac3f8466834fee18c7a037d328.png
Sorry for all this request but I really like this theme

If I wanted to rescale the box art for Super Nintendo, N64, and any other wide boxes so they aren't squished, could I do that easily in the text file? Even if it messes up the other platforms that is okay, cause I would just copy the theme and use it just for the platforms I need em not squished for.
