turn this into a BigBox theme please! This is exactly what I've been looking for for ages... Something sleek and cohesive, that makes BigBox feel like a new console ifywim

Thanks for sharing this with the community!  I'm not usually one for change, but I'm actually kind of liking this. Well done.  I really like the color scheme you use.  A fresh new face for LaunchBox.

Suggestions:

  • Add tooltips for the platform icons on the top row showing which platform you're about to click.
  • Add a horizontal scrollbar for the bottom half when in List View.
  • Retain view in top half when switching games.  e.g. 'Overview'
    • Or maybe (somehow?) add a lock feature of sorts so if you're viewing Overview and you switch games it'll show the overview of the 'new' game instead of reverting to Home. Or if 'unlocked', goes to Home when switching.
  • When in Images View, (somewhere?) show the name of the platform.
    • Relating to bullet #1, I have 2 "Arcade" type platforms (Arcade and Arcade Lightguns) and they're both using the same Arcade clear logo and icon.
    • I do however see that it does show it when clicking Overview.
    • And yes, I should probably 'fix' my media on my end. ;)
  • Widen the LICENSED TO box (or set width="auto" ?).
    • My licensed name is wider than allotted by the box width. And I don't mind seeing my full name. :D
