Just an FYI faeran released the Community Theme Creator files for this theme which allows any user to edit the theme to their liking. 

Thanks for that, I didn't realize the source files for this theme were available for the creator. I've been tinkering with it and have had problems with the theme creator overwriting themes and breaking them. I tried adding a PC Engine CD theme to my CoverBox setup. I designed the background and Splash Logo, loaded the regular PC Engine config and just replaced the background and clear logo with the PC Engine CD ones and it all looked like it was working inside the theme editor. I was hoping there was a 'save as' function where i'd just name it PC Engine CD instead of overwriting the regular PC Engine view. Cos that would make creating new views much quicker than having to do everything from scratch.

Is it actually possible to edit one view and create a new config from that one rather than starting again? Cheers.

@faeran Hiya mate, I use this theme for BigBox platforms and most of them are teriffic. Only issue I have is with the DS and 3DS themes. I was just thinking cos I came across another BigBox Theme called 'GameRoom' by @BMovieBen and it has a DS and 3DS theme that splits up the top and bottom half of the video snaps and it works flawlessly.

Appears here for a split second but I reckon doing that in the CoverBox DS/3DS themes would look great. Just a suggestion tho. Cheers.

Please read the fist text part here.
Faeran is totally rewriting the theme. Try the beta version (see link above).

Yes, missing for now, but planned

Thats great news then! I've also noticed that theres a few playlist videos such as Namco System 22, Sega S-TV and Sega Lindbergh that don't have videos yet. You have made Nostalgia ones for them but not Colourful videos so they don't match up quite right with the theme. I'm sure you're probably aware of this, there's no rush I'm just pointing it out.

But I was wondering if you could help me out with something? Some of the platforms video colours don't quite match up with the side bar like these images show.

I think I know why it may be, might not have the exact same name as what you assigned them in the xml? But i'm not sure.  The same problem with Windows, MSX 1 and 2 and  PC Engine. These are obviously minor problems but would you know how to make the green bar match the colours of the videos like on the rest of them? Like do I edit an XML somewhere?

Thanks a lot, and keep up the good work!

One of the best! Is there a Vectrex platform video anywhere? Seems to be missing?

Awesome thank you! I'm just wondering what the games you included in the video are? I know some of them but not all. Thank you.
