Better Old Default Cinematic View File Yet another Better Old Default, but even more cinematic, because the black rectangles are GONE, and the Background View has been further tweaked to emphasize the use of game fanarts and fancy wallpapers (mostly adjusted the vignette effect). This theme also exclusively utilizes fast box and list views. I figured it would be less confusing to go ahead and give this its own theme entry, rather than adding another version of Better Old Default Plus. I hope this is an aesthetic improvement, but it may not be for everyone, depending on your setup and visual settings. Text may also be harder to read at times, so take this into account. I've included screenshots of some of my settings to get the desired effect, such as setting background blur to 5 (10 also works, just less details visible). The blurring can help to obfuscate lower quality images. Additionally, the 'Dark Background' is meant to give a purple-ish hue to the background images, provided you have 'Colorize Background Fade' turned ON in LB Options > Features. You can also just use black to darken all backgrounds that way. TL;DR Notes on Installation - Extract the theme zip into LBThemes, as the theme folder should be in its own sub-folder. Optionally - Install any fonts included or linked in the Fonts (Optional) folder. I'd also recommend any pixel-style fonts available on sites like DaFont and itch.io. - In LB Options, choose a custom background from the Images\Backgrounds (Optional) folder to configure as your 'Custom Image' Background. (these were edited in GIMP and upscaled using ChaiNNer). CREDITS: Many elements from different themes have been sort of mashed together and tweaked over time in order to make this theme. Some of those theme creators include @Retrofrogg, @Mr. RetroLust, @Rincewind, and @faeran. ┬┴┤•_•)ﾉ├┬┴┬ Submitter d66dle Submitted 09/28/2026 Category Custom Themes  

Lights Out! Nintendo DSi Bezels for Retroarch View File After I finally got DSiWare games working, I felt the need for some color variation... I use these specifically for DSi, but they can also be used for DS games, since my version uses the same screen dimensions as the Nintendo DS bezel in Mr. RetroLust's Lights Out! Retroarch Bezels. Mine are named to fit alongside these. Admittedly, they are also a little bit shiner than the original DS bezel. I tried to make every color variation I could think of to match all possible DS screen colors/shaders, making a grand total of 43 bezels to choose from. Use many/all of them if you like, or use just one for all games. XCF template is included as well. CREDIT: @Mr. RetroLust for the original DS bezel, which I used as a base to make my own.

Lights Out! Croc PS1 Bezels for Retroarch View File My other favorite PS1 character Croc needed a custom bezel (or seven) alongside Crash Bandicoot. Not as many Croc PNGs laying around, unfortunately. I don't know if I'll make more, but Mr.RetroLust's bezels are fun to decorate.

Lights Out! Crash Bandicoot PS1 Bezels for Retroarch View File I felt my PS1 Crash Bandicoot games needed some pizzazz, so I decorated Mr. RetroLust's PS1 bezel from Lights Out! Retroarch Bezels I've included multiple versions, but I finally settled on the last one 'Bezel_90s_Panasonic_Collection_Crash4b' as my main bezel for ps1 crash games. I think it's the most cohesive version, but maybe the others could fit someone's tastes better. Some are more 'busy' than others. (⊙.☉)7 (see previews in screenshots) throw them into wherever you keep your RA overlays, usually somewhere in retroarch/overlays CREDITS: Mr. RetroLust for their PS1 bezel, which I edited to my liking, and also sites like PNGwing for the transparent images.

The progress feature in Launchbox got me more interested in RetroAchievements, and as a result I went a little nutty using the RA website as a template to come up with various playlists, so that I can organize games by theme, setting, exclusives, and greatest hits and whatnot. Still a work in progress, but I like what I've got going so far ◉‿◉ (I don't have a lot of achievement points yet, but I'll get there...) More recently, I started organizing by 'favorite' and 'least favorite' things in games like favorite box art, music, and titles. Because some games have really funny titles!

StageBox But It's Neon Deluxe - Mo' Platforms View File This is a modification of faeran's StageBox Startup Theme to be more Lights-Out/NeonDeluxe-ish. I also readjusted the filling of the TV image so it's not so stretchy looking. I kinda like how it turned out, so share it I must! (┛ಠ_ಠ)┛ CREDITS: faeren and Mr.RetroLust for both of their respective startup themes, which I have sort of mashed together here. Changes from 1.0.5 - renamed for clarity - now multiple background variants are provided. These are in StageBox But It's Neon Deluxe\Images. By default the 'original' images are used, which are from an older version but fixed to match the new version visually. Also '_template' is included with an XCF template to allow for either making your own backgrounds, or using the base image on its own as a more plain background. How To Use Alternates: Copy BG.png and BGExit.png from the desired 'alt' folder, paste, and overwrite the existing ones (see image in screenshots). Note: replacing the images may require temporarily changing startup theme in Launchbox Tools > Options, and then switching back to this theme (to prevent errors while overwriting). - otherwise, the theme is the same as the last version, just with extra backgrounds made from collected wallpapers ಠ_ರೃ Submitter d66dle Submitted 08/14/2026 Category Startup Themes  

Arcade Status/Playability Badges 🟢 Playlists 🟡 Icons 🔴 View File A possibly useful media pack containing the following: - Data Folder - 4 playlists for Arcade Status Good, Imperfect, Preliminary, and None - Images Folder - 3 Badge override icons to accompany the custom badge plugins - Images Folder - An "Arcade Playability" category icon - Images Folder - 4 Arcade Status Icons to accompany the playlists - Plugins Folder - 3 custom badges that show for their respective good/imperfect/preliminary arcade status How to Use: Inside the zip, it is mostly extracting into your Launchbox directory (folders Data and Plugins can be extracted from the zip without tampering) One folder under Images\Media Packs\Platform Icons\ will be extracted as "Icon_Pack_Name" which I would suggest you rename to your desired icon pack, such as "Legacy Conversion Icon Pack" Finally, you'll need to create the platform category so it shows with the provided icon. To do this, right click while in Platform Category View to create one. The "Unique Name" should be the same as that of the category icon. "Nested Name" and "Sort Title" can be whatever you like. And that's all ಠ_ರೃ Submitter d66dle Submitted 08/13/2026 Category Custom Badges
