Great to see just how many great themes have already been made using the theme creator.

@wallmachine Try adding your the Text Clearlogo Images you use into the BigBox Media Overrides / Images / Platform Catagories / Clear Logo folder.

Great theme and thank you for sharing the theme creator project files.

@Retro808 They should be up there now mate.

Yes it is, I will upload the new theme with the quicker timings and also the Theme Creator Project file.

@Retro808 thanks, yes I'll add the theme creator files to the download, I just have to wait for the new version of the theme creator to be released as its using some of the new features @y2guru had put in.

Chrome Metal View File INTRODUCTION No real introduction, I was trying out the new custom images in the theme creator and came up with this to test them out. What I have done is supply a custom image for every platform in the LaunchBox Database to date. It also relies on fanart as the main background but there is a fallback image for when there isn't any. Ideally I would like to be able to have 5 or 6 fallback images that randomly get used in the future.... @y2guru Hope you enjoy it _____________________________ THE MAIN THING TO DO AFTER INSTALLING IT... REFRESH THE IMAGE CACHE INSTALLATION **Download the zip file and unblock it (right click the zip file, goto "Properties" then at the bottom put a tick in the "Unblock" box, hit ok when done) then extract the folder to --\Launchbox\Themes\ oh and REFRESH THE IMAGE CACHE Also there are some sound samples I found that give it that Clicky feel, I recommend downloaded them aswell. As always thanks go to @y2guru for the amazing COMMUNITY Theme Creator for BigBox. Submitter Rincewind Submitted 07/08/2020 Category Big Box Custom Themes

Chrome Metal View File This is a few sound samples I found to go along with the Chrome Metal theme. To use these simply download and unzip the file, and place that folder into your "LaunchBox/Sounds" folder. Then fire up BigBox and go into the "Options" select "Sound" and change the "Sound Pack" to "Chrome Metal Sounds". Submitter Rincewind Submitted 07/08/2020 Category Big Box Sound Packs  

@syncy I've not tested this but I found the code snippet from @faeran in this thread some where. You would just need to create a "Default" folder within a "Images" folder. <Image x:Name="CartImage" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Source="{Binding SelectedGame.CartFrontImagePath, FallbackValue='pack://siteoforigin:,,,/StartupThemes/[THEME-NAME-HERE]/Images/Default/Nintendo 64.png', TargetNullValue='pack://siteoforigin:,,,/StartupThemes/[THEME-NAME-HERE]/Images/Default/Nintendo 64.png'}" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5"> <Image.RenderTransform> <TransformGroup> <ScaleTransform ScaleX=".63" ScaleY=".63"/> <RotateTransform Angle="0" /> <TranslateTransform X="0"/> <TranslateTransform Y="-200"/> </TransformGroup> </Image.RenderTransform> <Image.Effect> <DropShadowEffect BlurRadius="10" Direction="-90" RenderingBias="Quality" ShadowDepth="1" /> </Image.Effect> </Image>

@syncy these are really looking cool. Do you use a default Cart or CD image if non are found?

Great new feature, I didn't even know it was in LaunchBox till I watched your video. Roll on two weeks time

CONGRATULATIONS That is a massive achievement. ?

ok is it up? Edit: just seen it was a poll opps

I would most likely be around for the live stream, what time are you planing?

Cheers @faeran Is that a BigBox update or a Theme Creator update that sorts the issue?

Have you tried Clearing the Image Cache for All game wheels.

coming along well , great to see your updates as you build it

@xevious1974 you could try one of these themes, I added them to the bottom already. https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/file/1697-rincewind/

The Wall View File INTRODUCTION This theme has a lot of animations going on while your browsing your game collection, the idea was to make it a bit more interesting as your selecting your game. _____________________________ INSTALLATION **Download the zip file and unblock it (right click the zip file, goto "Properties" then at the bottom put a tick in the "Unblock" box, hit ok when done) then extract the folder to --\Launchbox\Themes\ As always thanks go to @y2guru for the amazing COMMUNITY Theme Creator for BigBox, without his on going work in creating this easy to use program I couldn't have made this theme. _____________________________ Hope you all enjoy it! Any feedback is welcome and any enhancements you can think of let me know. Ideally I would really like to add a Icon that will display if a Arcade game is using the new Hi-Scores feature @Jason Carr.
