These are edited versions of Mr.Retrolust's default horizont and vertical MAME bezels. The version with MAME Logos come from Duimon's MAME bezels. horizont & vertical zip files go in: MAME/artwork ᕕ(⌐■_■)ᕗ MOSTLY USELESS INFORMATION: Black Version Horizontal: indistinguishable from the original, except for an adjustment on the edges. There was a greenish line about 3 pixels wide that I just covered in black on both sides... I only noticed when I zoomed all the way in, so now it's REALLY black 😅 Black Version Vertical: the black right edge is cropped a bit and mirrored on the other side for a more symmetrical look, instead of red on the left. Blue Versions: Duimon's metal-textured logos are layered ontop of the black LightsOut bezels. I like these the best, because they're distinct enough from the game bezels while still maintaining the Lights Out aesthetic. (some game bezels use the default image for that rom, making it harder to tell right away) Templates: in XCF format, because I still use GIMP... I left some layers in there that I decided against using, like alternate logo sizes and buttons/sticks from the CAB version of Duimon's bezels. May or may not be useful. Credits go to the original creators of their MAME bezels, Mr.Retrolust & Duimon! I wanted to share my edits, just because I like how they look in my setup so far. -
Thanks very much! I'm glad you found it helpful! ᕕ(⌐■_■)ᕗ

Simple Default Box/Cart Image + Symbolic Link Usage View File Basically a neon transparent version of the current default box image. It's a little less bland than and looks better alongside Mr.Retrolust's Neon Deluxe Arcade Theme. The 4 Default Box, 3D Box, etc. folders in the zip all contain the same image. Simply drop folders into: Launchbox\Images\Platforms\PlatformName\ AND/OR Launchbox\Images\Platform Categories\CategoryName\ How I use Symbolic Links with this file: I don't believe there is a way to apply one image to ALL platforms besides copying them into each default platform folder or editing within LB. I don't have THAT many platforms, so I have a 'base' folder outside of LB Images that contains my desired default image (currently this one) and I drop symbolic links of the Default Box, 3D Box, etc. into each of my platforms/categories (I use LinkShellExtension for this), so if I happen to replace the base image, it then syncs to all platforms that still have the symlinks, and I can always delete a symlink folder if I feel like using a platform-specific box art instead. I don't think it's possible to replace certain default images like logos or banners--anything that isn't a box or a cart, unfortunately, but this is as close as I can get at the moment. My hope is that someone else might like to use it as a default box, if they're not wanting to use custom art per platform ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Submitter d66dle Submitted 01/20/2025 Category Platform Default Image Packs

So I've modified this theme to use the old legacy default visuals, just because I prefer the kinda-blocky original look, but I also like having sidebar icons and the newer game details view with clear logos and such (features not used in the legacy theme). I was wondering if this is okay to upload as a downloadable theme, since all I've done really is replace some xml files? pic for reference:
