About This File
RetroMags - Pocket Edition is a port that is loosely based on my Big Box Theme of a similar name. Retro Magazine inspired, each Platform is represented by their own custom magazine cover. It utilizes custom images, including a platform background, character, and controller. It also has a repository of platform slogans, used for the tagline on each magazine cover.
Add/Change Custom Images
If you would like to change or add any of the magazine covers (each image should be named after their respective platform/filter):
- Magazine Overlay - LaunchBox\Themes\RetroMags - Pocket Edition\Images\Magazine Overlay
Add/Change Slogans
If you wish to change or add any slogans, open the following file:
- LaunchBox\Themes\RetroMags - Pocket Edition\Filters Views\Horizontal Mags.xaml
Close to the top you'll see a list of slogans within the resource dictionary. Make a copy of ones of the lines and adjust the platform name (name must match the name of your filter or platform), and replace the slogan. Here's an example of one of the lines:
- <x:String x:Key="Atari 2600">Have you played your Atari today?</x:String>
