About This File

This theme requires LaunchBox 13.2 or newer

This theme is more to show off what is possible with LaunchBox theming and see where we can break the mold. I asked the question, "Could you recreate the Steam interface inside of LaunchBox?" This theme is my answer.

Changes from Default:
EVERYTHING... (no really...)

The images do a pretty good job at showing off the new features this theme provides, the basic run down is as follows:

  • The theme basically has two completely different looks depending on if you are using List view or Image view
  • Image View Game Details is horizontal similar to the Steam UI and utilizes a shelf system to drop down game details, achievements, and leaderboards
  • List view utilizes a single list of games similar to the traditional side bar (the ACTUAL side bar was moved to a drop down menu)
  • List view's Game Details is full sized and takes the space that typically the image view AND details would take in our default themes
     

NOTE: The Game Details Panel CAN be resized, the handle for it is invisible, but is located between the Play button and where image view starts (or the rest of the details are listed in list view). This size change IS remembered so should only need to really do it once.

DISCLAIMER: It is ENTIRELY possible to "break" this theme by hiding some views via the View Menu. Hiding GameDetails or the Sidebar can make it difficult or impossible to do much within the theme and should be left on at all times.

Loving it. My favourite theme by far.

I would love some of the list view features to be present by default also in the images view but that is just a nit pick personal preference.
We can always ask for some tweaks here and there but this is already a 5 starts as it is.

We can see in the comments how themes like this make people getting interested in learning how to design themes also for LaunchBox and not only for BigBox. I think that tells the story of how great this theme is.

Not going to beats around the bush. This is my favorite LaunchBox theme. The list view is really a sight to behold.

Installed. Does not show the banner with the image, game details, video, etc. Just shows game box art as before (default). Everything else changed: font, rounded corners, etc. Same with Big Details theme. 

EDIT: Thanks for the reply on how to fix! 

 

Response from the author:

That banner is the Game Details View. If you don't see it at all it's because you have Game Details disabled in the view menu.

Hellow !
How do you change the banner at the top when you click a game ?
Which picture will be chosen to be there ?

If it could be "Steam banner" in priority, it would be perfect

Response from the author:

Banner at the top uses your Background Image Priorities to determine what gets put up there. You'd just need to move your Steam Banner up in the priority list.

Best looking theme imo. Is there any chance to make it look like steam when hovering over the box art (that metallic glow)? Would be awesome

Response from the author:

I BELIEVE it's possible, not something I've ever really looked into doing though.
