  1. @faeran do you have any more recent sources to share? thx!! Sorry for my silence lately. A lot of work IRL since Christmas + the kids + renovations in my house. Don't expect any update very soon. Sorry for the inconvenience. But I haven't given up! I still have the theme v3 in mind. And once it's developed, I'll go back to creating platform videos. Thanks for your support and patience! <3
  2. You're in luck because I don't have many sources left for my Nostalgia set =D here's all I've got: MS Dos.psd
  3. Well, no. I'm no longer the one developing the theme. All the code is done by @faeran. I'm only in charge of design and graphic assets. You'll have to check with him.
  4. We do our best! Since the start of the year, I've had a lot of work IRL, and I'm not managing to make progress on the new theme as quickly as I'd like. That said, if you want to make a fork, no problem.
  5. Yes, you're right. Especially as the video player's interpretation of colors can change. The next major theme update will be a total revamp. There will be no more color overlays betwin image and video. So, hue variation will no longer be a major problem. Color management will also be much simpler. If everything works as we want it to, it will be a simple text edit file.
  6. OK, thank you for your patience! Here's a little update : Mugen Mugen by @Brohnson OpenBOR
  7. Faeran and I are working on v3, which will be a total overhaul. Please be patient, we're doing the best we can! =)
  8. Yes, In next major update. We do our best. Next version will be a complete overhaul! Thks for your patience! =)
  9. I must be tired, but I don't see your version of Pico-8
  10. Hi @drewjbx I'm already working on the MUGEN platform. Here is a preview =) You can find all my sources on the "resources" page. If one is missing, don't hesitate!
  11. These images are already in place, but it's possible that you're not using the same names. PNG files must be named exactly like your platform/playlist/category. Computers.png >> Are named as >> Category Computers.png Consoles.png >> Are named as >> Category Consoles.png Handhelds.png >> Are named as >> Category Handhelds.png Arcade.png >> Are named as >> Category Arcade.png (The problem here is that the category has exactly the same name as the platform. So LaunchBox makes a mistake and always uses the platform first) NEC SuperGrafx.png >> Are named as >> PC Engine SuperGrafx.png Windows 98.png ... Is correctly named. Did you download the latest set on the dedicated page? Just rename the PNG files as you named your platforms and it should work =)
  12. You're right, I'm talking about "video snap". Sorry, I'm tired ^^ Yes, LaunchBox makes the difference, as long as the files are properly organized/tagged. - If you're using Colorful, setup Video Snap first. - If you're using other theme, setup Theme Video first. No need to download files again. I couldn't make a custom version of my theme just for you. @faeran (who developed the theme) won't do it either (?) You can download and install the Comunity Theme Creator. Then download the theme source files. Then try adapting it to your needs. Personally, I know too little about CTC. I won't be able to help you any further on this subject.
  13. So there are two things here: You can have 2 types of videos at the same time in LaunchBox. "simple gameplay video" or "theme video". In the settings I suggest, you can choose the priority order to display, in case a game has several videos. Apart disk space, this has no other impact. If you want to use the Colorful theme, I suggest you use the "simple gameplay videos". It'll be much more elegant. Some other themes work better with "Theme Video". Technically, in the Colorful theme, the gray band on the left of the screen passes over the video. The video is not cropped, but masked. To see more of your video, you need to reduce this band. This will force you to replace all the UI elements and recenter the video. If you wish, you can try to modify this with the Community Theme Creator. Colorful Theme Source Code available in the download page
  14. I don't think you can make that many changes for certain playlists only. The "graphics problem" here is that you're using "theme videos". Try just using gameplay videos. It'll be easier. In LaunchBox options, set video priority to "Video Snap" on top.
  15. I'm not sure I understand what you want. Can you make a screenshot? The theme doesn't crop any videos. It shifts them to the right to center them in their zone. Normally, this works with any video. Not just my set.
  16. Add to my ToDO list =) No video format supports transparency. (At least to my knowledge) That's why I created the Hardware PNG Set. Add to my ToDO list =)
  17. Um, no. Your disk is fast enough. It didn't come from there. Have you tried the HD video set instead of 4K? Otherwise, I'm not sure. Media seems to take 1 second to load. In the next version of the theme, I'll try to simplify this. It'll be much simpler, stable and snapy I hope!
  18. @Margo From what I see of your video: Black screens are not normal. Is the disk on which LaunchBox is installed fast or slow (SSD or old HDD)? I also have the impression that you validate (hit enter) during the selection wheel. When the image is on the left. When you validate a platform, you go directly to the GamesView. To see the platform animation, don't touch anything and wait. It's a design problem on my part: the animation is too long and when you use it, you stop waiting for it. I'm working on this for the next big theme update. Finding the right compromise between design and usability.
  19. Hum ... Strange ! @faeran do you have any idea here ?
  20. That's because you're using the wrong theme view. In the BigBox display options, change the platform view. You can also assign a key to this action. Another point, platform videos. Too heavy to be included in the theme archive, you can easily download them from LaunchBox > Tools > Download > Platform/Playlist Theme Videos. Here, select "Colorful" (HD or 4K) and validate each option by platform.

  22. Oh gosh, what an idiot I am! I hadn't even seen your reply here. I had the notifications off for this topic ... So, thanks for all your help and resources! You'll see in my next batch of videos, I've redone some of them because I hadn't seen your files. So sorry!
  23. I'm not sure what PlatformVideo you're talking about. The theme is designed to be used with my video set. But that's not a technical prerequisite. You can use any video set. Yes, it's impossible for me to cover all the custom names. I've put in a few, like the classic "Nintendo NES". For the others, you have the right method: you have to rename the .PNG file with exactly the name of your platform. For example : from > Launchbox/Themes/Colorful - Light/Media/Hardware Set/ Super Nintendo Entertainment System.png to > Launchbox/Themes/Colorful - Light/Media/Hardware Set/ Nintendo SNES.png (Exactly the name you use) If it still doesn't work, maybe you're using accents or special characters that are causing problems?
