About This File
This is a modification of faeran's StageBox Startup Theme to be more Lights-Out/NeonDeluxe-ish.
I also readjusted the filling of the TV image so it's not so stretchy looking.
I kinda like how it turned out, so share it I must! (┛ಠ_ಠ)┛
CREDITS: faeren and Mr.RetroLust for both of their respective startup themes, which I have sort of mashed together here.
Changes from 1.0.6
Well, I figured out how to get per-platform backgrounds working... and platform logos. And fonts. Yee-haw I'm evolving
New version's changes are:
- custom per-platform backgrounds that I threw together to match the neon theme, plus some alternate backgrounds in the folders named 'Alts' that can be used for specific platforms, playlists, and/or your default background. Simply rename, for example, 'Arcade1' to 'Arcade' and copy/paste into the parent folder. If a platform/playlist is not present, the theme will simply fallback to the 'Default'.
- any background can now be used in place of these without having to edit in the TV thing in, because this is now an overlay on top of the background. A little easier for customization, I think.
- the theme now displays platform logos on the bottom left, as well as the game logo on the top right.
- the theme now uses 'Windows Command Prompt' font, which you may need to install from the Fonts folder.
- added XCF templates for the background, should anyone want to make their own in this style. They're pretty simple to make, since it's just overlaying the device/console on top of a blurred wallpaper image. 'BGNeon' is for the backgrounds, and 'BGTemp' is for the blurry TV overlay, which I figured I may as well toss in there.
Note: I only did backgrounds for the platforms I have in my own build, but I would (ideally) like to add as many as I can in future updates, especially as I add more platforms to my build.
Another Note: I'm not sure how to get platforms to work that have an '&' sign in them, such as Game & Watch, so I put those in a &-sign-breaks-these folder for now. (థ౪థᴖ)

Released
Whoops, another update! The logo is bigger now... and I've added 2 additional versions, one of which uses a 2d box by default, and one that uses 3d box by default (also depends on how your media priorities are set up). Original 1.0.0 version is still in there as well. Simply extract to StartupThemes folder to replace the old version, if you like (╭ರ_•́)
