Looks good apart from this bar looks odd, i'd shorten it to line up here.

or get rid of the bar  completley and make the text grey with the highlighted white like your other text lists.

I might do a version without the bar, though with the bar, my own preference/goal is to have it line up with the background grid. For that, I may adjust the platform title area to also end at a grid line so we can both be happy ahaha!

Loving this so far, but a couple of things that immediately caught my eye:

• The LaunchBox main menu font is tiny.
• The muted colors on unselected items is what I love the most about the theme, but I'd argue you could take it even further -- make them full grayscale. It would make the selected platform/game stand out a more.
• The small spaces between platform banners look weird with the grid pixels showing through. A solid color background would look better IMO.

Going point by point: 

• I agree the system font is small, though that was largely intentional, I was unable to make it larger without the menu needing to scroll, and I could not get that to look decent. I will try to fix that as I learn more about XAML and/or the CTC
• I tried full greyscale but didn't like how it looked. In the next version, though, I will make an alternate wall view with full greyscale to give people the option.
• Very good point, will definitely be implementing in the next update.
  • As a subpoint, the banner view is largely a placeholder as I design my own banners with dimensions that make more sense with this theme, but due to the sheer number of supported/identifiable platforms, this is an extremely long-term project for me.

 

Also as a general update, there will be future updates to version 1 of the theme using the theme creator, so please keep the suggestions (and/or bug reports) coming, but also I am working on version 2 which will be hand-coded to hopefully be a bit more responsive, as I've noticed the wall views are particularly sluggish

thanks :)

The file should be fixed now, sorry for the delay! Please let me know if it works for you now!

The update will need to wait until I'm home from work, unfortunately. It seems as if something got corrupted in the upload when I uploaded a quick fix to one part, and now the archive doesn't seem to want to work even with 7zip.

my archiver gives an error maybe the archive with the theme is corrupted?

I can confirm that the file does not seem to unzip with Windows' built in archive utility. The archive was originally made with 7zip, which likely has something to do with this. I'm creating a new version compatible with other archive utilities now!
