Okay, will do! Thanks!

Can I just edit the XML so my username appears in the corner of the LaunchBox app?

Hi @gspawn I was wondering if you could teach me how to create transparencies for the colorful theme. I can sort of do it but I can't figure out how to keep the reflection and shadow layer. Thanks for any help.

Okay, I think I figured it out, and sorry if I didn't explain myself correctly. I think in the past a user named @eatkinola made a theme based on your nostalgia video set that was also called Nostalgia [https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/41137-nostalgia/]. I think this theme used still images from your resource files, but with a transparent screen. Then within the screen, it would only play videos from your own launch box library. I'll ask in the resource thread to see if anyone can help me insert games from my launchbox library into the television somehow. I'm trying to do it myself on Davinci Resolve, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the new videos below the reflection and drop shadow layers. I'm probably using the alpha channel wrong, but I don't really know how to do this stuff haha. Thanks again for all your amazing contributions!

There used to be a version of these platform themes that played the videos from your library on the TV instead of the default videos. Has that been remade. I couldn't seem to find it in the official or recommended community assets. I think they were made by @eatkinola. Maybe I'm getting it mixed up. Sorry.

I'm about to wipe and setup launchbox again. Any tips on importing libraries these days? I think I'll have MAME and FBN + other arcades, retro consoles, and even modern libraries such as GOG, and Epic. I plan on using the Colorful theme in big box. Also any thoughts on images? I typically try to get everything from emu movies, but is the launchbox image library preferred? I think I want to display either flat covers or those newer 3D boxart recreations that have the fake plastic over the art like on sega genesis games. Any other cool little things I should know about that are a staple in your set ups? Thanks!

Hi, looking for a video game loving web dev. I have a wiki-like video game site that I'm looking to be built basically from the ground up. I've looked on fiverr and upwork, but I think it's important to actually have a passion for gaming when working on this project. I've never done anything like this before, so please don't be offended by my ignorance if we end up working together. Feel free to DM me here and we can discuss the scope of the project. Thanks!

Apparently my videos are having some sort of color issue where, SCUMM, Atomiswave, and Sega genesis are all appearing slightly different than they should. I'm using VLC. I tried window media player but the colors were even worse. When I watch the videos outside of BigBox they look fine. It's very strange. Not sure if there's something I need to change in the xaml or something.
