About This File
The CoverBox project is one where my goal is to recreate retro console's boxart as a BigBox Theme.
Each theme is designed for 1080p.
P.S. I created graphic assets for the star ratings. Please feel free to use them in your theme.
With the release of CoverBox 4.0, the theme has been completely ported over to the COMMUNITY Theme Creator. I now included the COMMUNITY Theme Creator files that you can use to load into the CTC to make any edits that you'd like. Please follow these instructions to do so:
- Make sure you already have a copy of the COMMUNITY Theme Creator, and you have it set up (link below)
- Download both the Theme files and COMMUNITY Theme Creator files
- Extract the COMMUNITY Theme Creator files into your COMMUNITY Theme Creator\My Theme Projects folder (don't forget to right click the archive, go into properties, and unblock the file)
- Open the Theme files zip, go into the Fonts folder and install all the fonts in there.
- Open the COMMUNITY Theme Creator, you should now find it in the dropdown list of themes
Installation Instructions
- Download the CoverBox - Theme Files.zip file.
- Right click the file, go to properties and make sure to unblock the file
- Open the zip file and place the folder into the LaunchBox\Themes folder
- Select the CoverBox theme in BigBox
