  1. New 1.3 version is out New view: Platform Hybrid 2 - the same layout as the main screen but with a 3D box wheel. Boxes either side angle in, the selected box spins round when you land on it and can then be turned by hand (set a Flip Image button works best). New sound pack: All four sounds remade more bass / arcade feel. Jump to letter: The letters now slide in from the direction you're moving and out the other way, and the left / right / down arrows are bolder with no glow. Game Details: New TIME PLAYED tile next to Times Played and Last Played. Game Details: The progress badge is hidden while a game is still on LaunchBox's default "Not Started / Unplayed", so it only shows once you've set a progress. @Emily Parker It’s done in the theme, not by Big Box.
  2. New 1.2 version is out * Jump to letter: now full screen - the view dims and blurs behind it and the letter sits in the centre at full size (516 high at 2560x1440), with "JUMP TO" above and bigger arrows either side. * New letter pack: A-Z re-made from the original source files and some totally remade, the Search, List, Favourites and 0-9 images rebuilt to match. * Platforms screen: games with no box art now show the same size as covers with art (they were scaled up and looked taller), and now get a reflection like the others. * Discover: the game's Platform logo (or its name if there's no logo) now shows top-left on the feature card. The card builds in order: platform logo, then the game's clearlogo, then the details. * Screensavers: the Platform is now shown on Attract, Cinema and Showcase.
  3. Thanks for the comments @bundangdon I understand the name of the theme might not be to everyone's taste, Simple fix just edit every view that has this code... <TextBlock Margin="{Binding Converter={StaticResource Scale}, ConverterParameter='20,0,0,0'}" VerticalAlignment="Center" FontFamily="LAUNCHBOX_THEME_FOLDER/Fonts/Saira-ExtraBold.ttf#Saira ExtraBold" FontSize="{Binding Converter={StaticResource Scale}, ConverterParameter='62'}"> <Run Text="WASTED" Foreground="#EAF6FF"/><Run Text="YOUTH" Foreground="#35C3F0"/> </TextBlock> either remove the whole block or edit it. As you know from the description this was made for my cabinet so any updates will only be made if I feel it needs it.
  4. Wasted Youth View File A few years back I built my own arcade cabinet and called it Wasted Youth, a nod to all the hours (and coins) I spent in arcades growing up. This theme was made for that cabinet, so it has the same colours. The colours are neon green and cyan on a dark background. Everything is styled to match: the platform and game screens, Discover, game details, the system and options menus, the popups, four different screensavers, plus matching loading, game-over and pause screens and a sound pack. I made it for my own cab, but it works just as well on any Big Box setup. I hope you enjoy it. INSTALL ------- 1. Close Big Box and LaunchBox. 2. Unblock the Zip file. 3. Then copy the LaunchBox folder from the zip onto your LaunchBox folder (merge / overwrite). 4. In Big Box Options: Themes ............ WastedYouth Sounds ............ Sound pack: Wasted Youth (sounds then work from start-up) Game Startup ...... Startup theme: WastedYouth (startup screens switched on) Game Pause ........ Pause theme: WastedYouth Submitter Rincewind Submitted 10/16/26 Category Custom Themes

  6. Thanks @JoeViking245 I managed to sort the Mame emulator not exiting problem by adding- Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}} In the manage emulators - Mame emulator - exit script.
  7. Reference the Pause screen, does anyone know if a AHK script runs when you select the Exit game?
  8. I have a couple questions if anyone knows the answers it would be a great help. 1st is Mame not exiting from Pause screen, I never seem to get the game over screen and it just displays BigBox but I can't use the controls until I Alt-Tab to Mame and press the Esc key. 2nd Does the Start game view Progress bar ever fill while loading a game, I ask this as a theme i'm working on has the logic but I cant ever see if it works.
  9. @launchretrogirl2562 Seems okay on my machine. Can you let me know your screen resolution and windows DPI settings please.
  10. @launchretrogirl2562 I'll take a look later but as far as I know theme doesn't control whats in the lost but it might be that it's getting pushed off the bottom. If it's there on other themes then that is probably what is happening.
  11. ** New version 1.8 update out. Fixing the plugin issue for users opting out of the betas.
  12. *New version 1.8 with the fix. LaunchBox version 14 or higher will now have the Theme Colour Sliders.
  13. Yes sorry about this, I have built the 1.7 plugin version from the LB v14.1.0.1 beta so that means it only works on the latest beta or newer. Which is not ideal if users are not using the betas. So I will re-build the plugin using v14 official. Sorry again. I am also going to make sure that the theme will still work even if the plugin fails with a fallback-palette.
  14. And is LB up to date?
  15. @rexryan Did you try updating it from the manage themes inside LB?
  16. ** New Update is out
  17. ** New Update is out
  18. @launchretrogirl2562 Could you do a little test for me. If you go to "Tools - Downloads - Force Update Games Database Metadata..." and wait for it to finish you should get a notification after that, click the button and see if the "X" works there (it did for me). Also does the "Clear All" button work? The reason I want you to check is because i'm not sure if LB allows you to clear the Version update or not. I am about to put a new update out for the theme but as I can't replicate your issue (as my version is up to date) I can't test to fix it.
  19. Thanks @JoeViking245 I think its the LB theme not the BB one but I'll take a look.
  20. I'll take a look at this and see if there's an issue, I've not updated it for a while so its possible a LB issue.
  21. If you do a text search for "Binding Title" in the Game Details View then your see a font size change it to a smaller number and see how it looks. As for the request I'm not sure what the right page would be.
  22. @MQ2000 It's in there now.

  25. I think it is possibly the animation on the selected game. It definitely runs well on a beefy pc. What are your pc specs?
