yelever

I have some overlays but don't fit with the style of the thread. Been wanting to use these overlays but have no clue have to make a theme for them. I have more for different systems.

OK no problem.

On the Nostalgia theme it has the static images for each system and separate videos play in the TV frames so I'm guessing it can be done some how.

Just started using Big Box after using Hyperspin and love the themes people have made here. I have an idea for a theme but have no clue how to make one. I've watched tutorials and they make no sense to me and very confusing. The idea for the theme I want to make is when you scroll through the different consoles and systems you would see a different static image for each system as the background (uploaded a few examples) with a video playing in the box frame of the image. I've tried many different things like putting the image in different places and looking at themes in Visual Studio and I'm completely baffled how to do it. Hope this makes sense.

I mean keep the add-ons but have these as the main platforms with a video playing in the boxframe. I've tried putting the image in different places on different themes and still get a video playing the fullscreen and no image if that makes sense.

I was wondering if there was a way to change the main platforms to static images instead of videos and have a video playing in a box on image. I was thinking something like this and have a video play in the box frame. A bit like the nostalgia theme.

OK, that was the problem, I didn't have a key mapped to switch themes. Sorry, very new to launchbox. This is an awesome theme. Thank you for the help.

Here a pic of the Microsoft MSX add-on folder

Have checked them and all are unzipped correctly. Would it be a setting in big box that I haven't changed? I made sure it was set to "Remember seperate view for each platform".

Great theme. Having some trouble with the add-ons not showing up. Followed the instructions to the letter and just get the default. I've included a screenshot of my themes folder structure just in case.

I've checked that theme out and it uses videos for the main screens which is a pain to get each one. I like how yours uses static image files.

Thanks for the update. I love how each platform shows the system. I would love to learn to make themes but it looks way to complicated. I was thinking of something like this as I have artwork for a ton of different backgrounds for different systems but as I said I wouldn't know where to start.

Got it working. Thank you.

Also I'm having a little trouble getting wheel art and box art showing when browsing different systems. Does the artwork have to be in a certain place. Sorry for all the questions.

That would be awesome. I love this theme. I'm really new to Bigbox so still learning everything.
