  1. Yes I'm doing the genres for launchbox, which is a playlist for each platform's genre. So that's why I used the controller from each system as a background inside the bordered logo. Could you point me to those backgrounds that you used for yours? They might be what I need to fill that space up top. Could probably just fade out the bottom of them around where the icon sits. Or put them inside the blank box art instead of repeated text.
  2. Want some input on the auto-population genres. Trying to figure out what to do with all the space on the banner. Put a generic box with another mention of what genre it is on the top? I like having the icon and the logo on the bottom like all my other banners,...but what to put up top?
  3. Just trying to re-download some of these because I lost the original zips, and Super Nintendo fails every time. Could you re-upload that one? EDIT: nevermind, guess it was just a website error. It's working again.
    @Lugawigaming How about this: A simple, yet elegant collection of playlist logos. Not a bunch of flashy smoke being blown up your...waaaaait a minute. This collection just plain works. It's dependable and reliable. Like a '58 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup. When you just need to know what genre you are looking at, this collection delivers. Each one of these logos jumps into the captain's chair and says "make it so". And you know what? That's all we really need in a genre playlist logo collection. Also, you can slap these logos anywhere you need them to go! Currently I'm situating them neatly inside of my Crylen's bordered clear logo template to match the rest of my setup. They don't scoff at me and demand all the attention like some diva broadway star. They say, "oh you'd like me to slide over here? You got it broseph!". They bring their own party; they are content in their surroundings. They give neighboring pixels no gruff, but instead develop a reciprocal relationship so that the entire image becomes better. Not like some other logos that only seek to dominate and strut their flashiness around at the cost of everything else. When the dust settles, I know that my genre logos are better for having meshed with these fine playlist logos. And we all come out winners.
  4. I just noticed that the community theme creator doesn't "see" all the genre playlists, so you can't batch process those.
  5. Version 2.0.1

    639 downloads

    Here are my files that I used to create banners for use with my personal collection since I switched to the Banner Box theme by @faeran They incorporate Crylen's framed clear logos, several different fan art Top images, and a few different System art images. Included is also my community theme creator folder to see how it was all put together, and to edit (just have to point it to your launchbox install instead), along with all associated working images and PSD files used. Also included my Banner Box PSD folder that I used to work on playlists and anything else that needed to be done.

  7. Right, that's why I bet there isn't an easy way to figure out if there was one credit put in, or 100 lol.
  8. I guess we've ran into the one credit hi-score vs. the pummel "credits? into the "machine" hi-score. I doubt there's any way to distinguish the two.
  9. Eventually I found pretty good images, and in some cases I stumbled upon the same ones that were initially used. So it'll work out.
  10. In a few days I should have a set made (from my limited set of core systems) of banners with crylen's bordered clear logos on them. Will share/upload when completed.
  11. Yeah I think Box blur is a great way to go when you feel the need to fill up some space for the game banners. Sort of like faeran did with the SNES boxes in the original theme to fill up a bit of the empty space.
  12. I have to re-do all my platform banners because I have bordered clear logos, and i'd like to have a version with those as well. Any tips on where some good fanart is for the core systems? The templates folder only has the NES one in it.
  13. Someone feel like doing all the top 100, top 50, and beat 'em up genre playlists?
  14. Oh that one is nice as well. i like having nice background with character foreground. Great work.
  15. We really just need to commission that Rachid Lotf guy to do all the banners for launchbox, program-wide. Castlevania playlist as an example:
  16. @Klopjero Hey do you have a link to where you got the computer backgrounds from? Nevermind, found it.
  17. How do you get playlists as a platform category? I've always had to hit my keybinding to get into the playlists.
  18. I'm not sure launchbox has such a feature yet, although it would be very welcomed. It can be startling sometimes. I used a program called volume normalizer master to do a few videos.
  19. Ok, so now I'm filling in my set with properly named box art so I can run the batch image thing for the new bannerbox theme. As an example, I renamed all my Sega Saturn box art to game name-01.png, because the community theme creator seems to randomly have a problem with box art named game name (USA).png. I don't want to download any new box art because I spent like 3 hours on getting this normal cd jewel case box art all imported the first time. So now that they are all renamed, launchbox automatically refreshed images for like half of the games, even though all of the files are in the box art front folder. So can I just re-scan the box art from that specific folder and make it look there and fill in gaps? Or do I have to keep editing each game one by one and manually add the box art again in the little image window (right click, add image)?
  20. So it may be the .png that is killing it. Good idea. Any recommendations on a little program that will just run through them all?
  21. Yeah, that, and if you have a platform that you keep adding to like say PC Games,...then each time you add a game you have to go use the community theme creator with the template and run a new batch for those games. If Launchbox could call upon box art and clear logo in one shot like the theme creater referenced, then I think this could be a more universal success. Because as it sits right now, you have to have a person who will want to use/be comfortable using the community theme creator to run batches of images, as well as want to have at least over 4 gigs of extra images for this. That's where I sit right now and I have about 10 systems left to do. I can absorb the storage hit just to test out the theme and check it out, but damn,...that's just too big. It needs to be able to use existing assets. Hopefully @Jason Carr can work a little magic just for this little area of the program?
  22. I am missing about 50 banners between NES and SNES. Don't know if I really want to go through all that to make them one by one. Just taking a look through N64, already have like 10 missing from that. EDIT: Seems as though I have to refresh all those games' metadata so launchbox looks up their Database ID so that the theme will show the image for the game. Well for some anyways,...some are still completely missing from the artwork folder (Adventures of lolo DB: 328 for example).
