About This File

An Old-Default-ish Launchbox theme, because I'm stubborn, and sometimes simpler is better. Not very fast on my 2020 laptop though. Regardless, I've enjoyed tweaking it to my needs over time, so I will call this theme "done" until further notice. Or if there is something catastrophically wrong with the current file. If you try it out, perhaps let me know if it's as sluggish as I think it is on other folks' systems... I am curious if it's an old-theme problem or a my-laptop-is-getting-old problem (it might also just be that I'm not versed enough in code to put together a theme that isn't riddled with errors resulting in slowdown).

In the theme folder Better Old Default I have also included optional font files (one of which is a URL to its itch.io page), as well as some backgrounds I edited and then upscaled based on Mr.RetroLust's Neon Deluxe Arcade background. The fonts can be chosen in Launchbox options after installing the font files to your system.

 

THEME INSTALLATION:

Better Old Default folder goes into LBThemes folder. Choose in LB Options or Themes & Media page.

If applicable, rename MainView_Condensed.xaml to MainView.xaml to use the condensed version that will fit the top menu in one half of the screen (badge menu and notification bell are missing in this version to make room).

Optionally, install the included fonts. (I would recommend a custom font of some kind so that the new top left "Launchbox" logo doesn't look so bizarre with the default font.

Also optionally, use one of the included wallpapers as your default LB background.

 

CREDITS:

Since this is more of an amalgamation of a few different themes, credit is due to those creators, such as RetrofroggMr.RetroLust, and faeran.

 

...I'm sure I've forgotten something (゜д゜??)


What's New in Version 1.0.0   See changelog

Released

I finally figured out how to get the progress button and info links working on the GameDetailsView. Huzzah! Now I can change progress and click more links from the grid view!

For now, I've uploaded this separately as GameDetailsView_Updated.xaml

Rename this to GameDetailsView.xaml and replace the old one in Better Old Default\Views
