@kiroscell Go to the downloads section Themes and look through the themes and find one you like, most have video of what the themes look like. Also remember when placing platform videos in the themes folder inside LaunchBox they go Theme/WhateverTheme/Video/Platforms and the videos themselves must be named the same as your platforms, videos placed here will override normal platform videos. Or you can place them in LaunchBox/Videos/Platforms instead. Game Videos must go inside each Platforms specific folder such as Arcade, Nintendo etc, game videos must be named after the games. Criticalzone that comes with LaunchBox doesn't need background video turned on they must be turned off, to show up in the space CriticalCid has created for them. Only themes such as the default theme and others in the download section that use full background platform and game video need background platform and game video for showing the videos full-screen.

@kiroscell Not all themes use a single background video some themes let the user use Background theme video from @BakerMan @Nyny77, @viking through download platform video in LaunchBox and @CriticalCid through http://emumovies.com/files/file/2102-unified-widescreen-platform-video-themes-a-c/ and others or platform videos, such as the default theme and other themes in the download section does by turning on background videos in BigBox options/videos Turn on platform background video, as well as background ordinary game videos by turning on background game videos in BigBox/options Turn on game background video , in order to use hyperspin style game videos though you would need to convert all your hyperspin game themes to video and name them after the games.

@Jason Carr Forgot to let you know that Platform Video downloads are working perfect except for 1 video, Bakerman has a theme video called Capcom Classics which should be linked to the Capcom Systems Capcom CPS1, Capcom CPS2 AND Capcom CPS3, also i have music (mp3's) in the Background folder inside the Music folder in LaunchBox, but LaunchBox itself says there is no music on the bottom music bar yet it works perfectly in BigBox.

No @Jason Carr Doesn't tell people off , well rarely unless they break forum etiquette, and my main reason creating the topic was to get people to discuss and come up with ideas as how categories could be restructured to make it easier for navigation. However i could have worded it better.

Going to watch a few episodes of the Bearcats starring Rod Taylor and Denis Cole courtesy of YouTube tonight my all time favourite car if money was no obstacle

Or the reply "Go back to sleep or i'll tell mum about the Playboys".

It certainly is and well acted too especially by the main 2 stars.

Just watched The Last Starfighter starring Lance Guest and Dan O'Herlihy still enjoy this film, would love to see it get the Big Hollywood Blockbuster treatment.

@neil9000 I was just thinking of easier navigation in the future through the different categories and cut down on the number of pages, still no apologies needed at least topic discussion has started LOL.

@neil9000 No it didn't sound harsh at all no apologies needed.

@neil9000 NoNot go to anyones page just entry and all their themes would be under that entry.

@neil9000 It is just a suggestion which in my opinion (that's just my opinion) will make it easier in the future for users to find a theme they want. That's why i created this thread as a suggestion. the same could apply to different Categories, Logo's Boxart, Music etc.

@neil9000 What i mean is each creator of themes will have their themes under a single entry but all themes will still be showing in the downloads ie: instead of me or any other creator having their themes spread over lots of pages, this would make the list smaller in the future and easier to navigate for users.

@Jason Carr Just a thought in the future would it be possible for you to group themes by creator in a single entry in the Bigbox Custom Themes as in the future this list is liable to get very big KUDOS

@Jason Carr Just tried to download some videos and got this

@Rincewind Thanks am proud especially as to how the textlist with details in both the platform and games turned out.

@Jason Carr Scrape as now showing the available videos KUDOS

@Jason Carr Bakerman suggested that i change the name of my platform in order to see the IGS Polygame Master Video in the download, as i was already in the platform in LaunchBox i clicked on a game and did a Ctrl + A to select all, i then right clicked, edit and proceeded to change platform name (as i had it named PGM) to IGS Polygame Master. When i had this completed i went to the sidebar and noticed it wasn't where i had it under Platform Category Arcades, so i checked the rest of the Categories and found it under Handheld which isnt where i wanted it. I checked to see if the platform video would show up it did under download platform video, I then went to the toolbar in Launchbox, Tools, Manage Platforms, clicked on its new platform name IGS Polygame Master in order to change it back under the arcade platform category but changed scrape as Arcade (as that is what me and Bakerman were talking about and must have stuck in my head LOL) instead of change platform category at the bottom of the edit platform and hit ok. I went back to the sidebar and noticed now that the platform wasnt showing up anywhere. So i next scrolled down through all the games and found the IGS Polygames, i went back to the toolbar and refreshed images and then scrolled through the games again now all the Polygames were gone and when i went to the toolbar mange platforms the entry for Polygame Master was there but showing no games. Later i went to the backup folder and replaced the igs Polygame Master xml with the backup xml and deleted all other copies in case they had corrupted for the platform and all my games were back with a fresh reboot of LaunchBox, hope this explains it well enough thats all the steps i took.

Will be uploading the HT For PC theme tomorrow night sometime as am doing a Video and text for it presently.

@BakerMan Sorted out missing platform just used the Platform Backup.xml and platform back in the backup folder.

It is but will be using the toolbar now LOL good job it wasn't the arcade platform, but Jason will sort it out and the videos as well.

@BakerMan i usually when in a platform and need to change its name do a ctrl a, as its quicker than going to the toolbar
