    Hi @Carpetshark, There are several things here: The theme does not come in all in one. It would be too heavy. You have to download the platform videos separately. Look at the videos download page, everything is explained in main text. in LaunchBox > Tools > Download theme videos tools > Select "Colorful 4K" or "Colorful HD" At the top of each Colorful download page, I put a list of each piece of the puzzle with the direct links. It's up to you to make your choice! We haven't released the "games wallview" for Colorful yet. It's currently work in progress with Faeran for theme v2! Please be patient.
  2. viking
    Yes, I work with @faeran on a v2. And some new platform video =)
  3. viking
    Are you using the beta version by @faeran? If so, he no longer uses the same data as me for these fields. Try to update your games metadata.

    Please read the fist text part here. Faeran is totally rewriting the theme. Try the beta version (see link above). Yes, missing for now, but planned
  5. viking
    Yes, it's planned 👌

    Hi @Platinum and thx for your feedback. =) About your feedback: 1 - Normally, this is not an empty area. You must have the platform name in text. But yes, I have in mind to modify this "wheel" screen. I will soon release a "Banner Set" based on my videos to help me 2 - This empty space aims to leave room for the very long game title and allow breathing. But anyway, this "GamesTextList" view is going to be totally change. You will find a preview of the future view here. And on the theme, @faeran kindly took over the lead on development. It will totally rewrite the code.

    I don't have control over the new color management plugin, but it looks like a problem between: - ARCADE (platform) - purple - ARCADE (category) - blue Here too, the theme is being rewritten by @faeran. Normally, this is not on code side that we regulate this. Try here, in LaunchBox settings : Raise the "screenshot - Gameplay" to the top

    Thx @soqueroeu =) My last video drop is only made by me. Otherwise, I would specified the credits. About detail level : It's very platform dependent. For example smartphones: no cartridge, no iconic gaming accessory. The same goes for very old computers that have little or no specific gaming accessories. I have other constraint to always keep in mind. For example, everything must stay in a central square to be used in 4:3 or as a banner set. So no pixel other than flat color on the sides. etc ... I also try to keep a fake sort of scale. At least by category. That's why some platform seems small and lost in space. All these videos are to be placed in a theme context. They are rarely used alone in fullscreen. But if I forgot an iconic accessory, please tell me which one. I can update my videos =) (the goal remains to cover ALL the platforms, not to keep repeating the same ones)
  14. viking
    Yes, in the theme folder/view/style ?

    Thx for your feedback and your color pick =) Next, when I release new video, I'll give a good hex code to Faeran. For the color by platform, @faeran will migrate the entire theme to the Community Theme Creator. Color management will change and be integrated if I understand correctly. But for now, I have the same problem as you, with "Nintendo NES" for example. Here is my last hex per platform list : Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a-Colors.dll.txt

    @xmas Faeran will work on the theme now. The code will totaly change and it will be based on the Community Theme Creator. On my old version, it's a pain in the ass. It's at the top of the XAML file. The "Storyboard" part. Each element is animated from its side. You change a value: you have to readapter everything =/

    The problem with colors in video is that it changes all the time. using the eyedropper in Photoshop does not always work well. We're close, but it's not perfect. What I do in these cases: Launch BigBox and launch the desired platform. Press "print screen" key on my keyboard. Open Photoshop > Ctrt+N > Ctrl+V Here, use the eyedropper tool to get the Hex code yes. Boring ... but it's works ! Because between Photoshop edit, After Effect export, codec and VLC player, all color change a little ...
