About This File
A few years back I built my own arcade cabinet and called it Wasted Youth, a nod to all the hours (and coins) I spent in arcades growing up. This theme was made for that cabinet, so it has the same colours.
The colours are neon green and cyan on a dark background. Everything is styled to match: the platform and game screens, Discover, game details, the system and options menus, the popups, four different screensavers, plus matching loading, game-over and pause screens and a sound pack.
I made it for my own cab, but it works just as well on any Big Box setup. I hope you enjoy it.

What's New in Version 1.3 See changelog
Released
- New view: Platform Hybrid 2 - the same layout as the main screen but with a 3D box wheel. Boxes either side angle in, the selected box spins round when you land on it and can then be turned by hand (set a Flip Image button works best).
- New sound pack: All four sounds remade more bass / arcade feel.
- Jump to letter: The letters now slide in from the direction you're moving and out the other way, and the left / right / down arrows are bolder with no glow.
- Game Details: New TIME PLAYED tile next to Times Played and Last Played.
- Game Details: The progress badge is hidden while a game is still on LaunchBox's default "Not Started / Unplayed", so it only shows once you've set a progress.
