    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!

    I see. I think I fixed the path that was causing the missmatch. If you happen to download the newest version, feel free to let me know if it's still broken 😅

    Really? Odd that it works on my end, but I will check that out in my next version very shortly here. Thank you for the heads up!

    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

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 1.0.6 Well, I figured out how to get per-platform backgrounds working... and platform logos. And fonts. Yee-haw I'm evolving New version's changes are: - custom per-platform backgrounds that I threw together to match the neon theme, plus some alternate backgrounds in the folders named 'Alts' that can be used for specific platforms, playlists, and/or your default background. Simply rename, for example, 'Arcade1' to 'Arcade' and copy/paste into the parent folder. If a platform/playlist is not present, the theme will simply fallback to the 'Default'. - any background can now be used in place of these without having to edit in the TV thing in, because this is now an overlay on top of the background. A little easier for customization, I think. - the theme now displays platform logos on the bottom left, as well as the game logo on the top right. - the theme now uses 'Windows Command Prompt' font, which you may need to install from the Fonts folder. - added XCF templates for the background, should anyone want to make their own in this style. They're pretty simple to make, since it's just overlaying the device/console on top of a blurred wallpaper image. 'BGNeon' is for the backgrounds, and 'BGTemp' is for the blurry TV overlay, which I figured I may as well toss in there. Note: I only did backgrounds for the platforms I have in my own build, but I would (ideally) like to add as many as I can in future updates, especially as I add more platforms to my build. Another Note: I'm not sure how to get platforms to work that have an '&' sign in them, such as Game & Watch, so I put those in a &-sign-breaks-these folder for now. (థ౪థᴖ)

    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

    Lights Out! WASM-4 Handheld Overlays for Retroarch View File I needed a LightsOut-esque bezel for WASM-4 in particular, so I tried to find a generic handheld image and slap as WASM logo on it... This ModRetro "Chromatic" device here seemed promising. Only black this time, but black goes with everything! I included non-WASM / blank ones as well to be able to use with other generic handhelds. CREDITS: The wooden background I used is from a Mr. RetroLust bezel. The WASM-4 logo I got from Duimon's WASM-4 bezel. A mashing of two ideas, if you will...

    I could share from my data folder (My Parents xaml), if you're interested in the categories themselves? I just make them up as I think of different ways to organize my games. If you mean how to create them in general, I just left click while in the "Platform Category" view, mouse over Add and then click New Category, then you can name it in the "Details" tab and place it where you like in the "Parents" tab. Does this screenshot help? I do apologize if I'm not understanding what you are asking exactly. Parents.xml

    Do you mean the icons? Because I have shared a bunch of those in this file (should be in the folder "Platform Categories" inside the zip), and a lot of those come from random internet sources and googling, though sometimes I'll edit or recolor the source image using GIMP.

    Sure! When you extract the zip, the Data and Plugins folders can go into your root "Launchbox" directory. Inside the Images folder, you'll see two sub-folders: I would put the images in the "Badges" folder into "Launchox/Images/Media Packs/Overrides/Badges" And then the two folders inside "Platform Icons" can both go into "Launchbox/Images/Media Packs/Platform Icons/Legacy Conversion Icon Pack" (or whichever media pack you want to use for platform icons) I hope that helps... If so, I should probably add it to the description so it's less confusing where everything goes 😅

    I have also begun a 'least favorite' category to accompany the previous. WHy? Well, it's funny to enjoy the things I despise in games, no?

    DAE still have problems scrolling with the mouse wheel using custom Launchbox themes? I've now forgotten which beta in this round it started, but the scrollbar seems to get stuck whenever the image grid isn't sorted by the default 'Title'. I think someone else mentioned a similar problem. I'm just confirming it's still an issue for me at least 😅 (using a modified version of Default Plus) That said, the new Arrange By scrollbar is a handy workaround when scrolling with the mouse wheel doesn't work, as I can still click & drag where I need to go. So that newer feature is much appreciated!

    Better Old Default Plus View File So, very similar to my other Better Old Default... With the following changes: - Box view is now based faeran's Default Plus version with the toggleable text button... it may or may not be slightly faster than the old box view? And this way it doesn't require specific box spacing with the badges being further to the right. Previous box view is also included separately, if you prefer the old one without the text toggle. - less margins in details! - new clickable custom links! (Based on Retrofrogg's GameDetailsView with the manual button) - more simplistic subtitle format under clear logo titles - RetroAchievements have been scooted above the play button. CREDITS: Since this is more of an amalgamation of a few different themes, credit is due to those creators, such as Retrofrogg, Mr.RetroLust, and faeran. ✺◟(•‿•)◞✺ Submitter d66dle Submitted 08/03/2026 Category Custom Themes

    Just some filler collection icons I edited and/or yanked from various sources (mostly Google, sprite websites, and MAME icons). They are not equal in size, but they look similar enough in size in the sidebar... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ They can be dropped into the Playlist folder of your Platform Icon Media Pack of choice. I put them in Images\Media Packs\Platform Icons\Legacy Conversion Icon Pack\Playlists\
