Cause they are named to the Launchbox standard not the Retrobat/EmulationStation standard, you would need to rename each file to match what your program requires. This is the Launchbox forum, so naturally they are named to that standard.

I downloaded a few from here
and renamed them the exact same way they're mentioned on my LB UI (so "Saga Castlevania" for ex. instead of "Castlevania Collection"), and placed them where he says to (Launchbox/Images/Platform Icons/Playlists), but they don't show up. Is the option to add new icons blocked for the free version of LB or what?
"New Feature: Over 240 brand new icons have been commissioned and are instantly available in the LaunchBox sidebar (voted #3 in the last community poll); they are available immediately in the default theme, and can be easily added to custom themes. Premium users can also customize these icons to their liking by adding their own images to the LaunchBox\Images\Platform Icons folder."
The last part is important here "Premium users can also customize these icons to their liking by adding their own images to the LaunchBox\Images\Platform Icons folder" so yes you need premium to add your own.

or is there like a naming scheme I need to follow?
Movies should always be named "Movie Name (Year)"
https://kodi.wiki/view/Naming_video_files/Movies
https://kodi.wiki/view/Naming_video_files/TV_shows
Those are Kodi links, but any scraper will use the same format including the likes of Plex, Jellyfin etc.

Themes in the app need extensive testing by the devs before inclusion, so i doubt it would be available in app yet, you would need to download it from the forum instead.

Any possibility @MadK9 could share the steps, source code or repo so we could compile our own no nag version of MAME? This way at least we can keep the candle lit should you not want to continue to do so?

Source code is on their website.

This theme was not made with the CTC (which is a third party program by the way and not made by Launchbox) so there are no CTC files to provide.

Not your fault of course, but I'm amazed it hasn't appeared yet. 😄 It wasn't big in the States, but it was literally the biggest selling computer in the UK. I would make it myself but don't have the software or the skills. 😔
There is a spectrum one, it was created by CMOS, its probably available through Launchbox itself.

StationEmulation is one of Faeran's themes. Not Viking's (though he does do good work as well).
Actually the original version was Viking, Faeran remade it in the CTC if i recal.

Yes you can, set a button to "change theme" go to a platforms game view and press that button, pick this theme.

I believe it needs a CHD.

Apologies if I am missing something.
I just did a clean extraction of mame0245b_64bit, and then overwrote mame.exe with the one in mame_0.245.7z. However when I boot a console, I still get the console info screen. I see there is a 'b' in the file I got. Is this a newer version than standard 0.245? When I start the original mame.exe that came with it, it still says 0.245 on the menu. So I'm not sure if I missed something obvious, or if I am dealing with a version mismatch.
I believe @MadK9 compiles these for Arcade only and he doesnt compile for other systems like what is in a software list and the like, he would need to confirm though.

hello for 4:3 screen it's not very good
Because it's created for 16:9 screens, there is no mention of 4:3 support anywhere on this page.

Just now, Boothman said:Hey Neil,
I don't see an image settings anywhere in LB Android. When in the secondary view, I have in the top right: Search, Filter, Change View, View Settings, Emulator Settings and Download All Missing Media. In View settings with the Boxes Grid, I don't have any options to prioritize any type of image. I also don't see anyway to prioritize in the main options on the left-side or from the platform (root) menu.
Oh ha, i totally missed that this was a Android theme, sorry that's my bad. I was referring to the Windows version in my reply, i don't believe the Android version has those options unfortunately, could probably edit the code though to specify a different image type, but that's above my knowledge base.
-
"Really like the look, but in image-settings could you make the theme able to prioritize gameplay pictures instead of tittle screens? "
This is usually controlled by how you have your preferences set in Launchbox, want gameplay shown, move that image type to the top of the list for your screenshot image priority section.

It converts my files, but from an initial size of 600mb the chd file it creates is only 5mb......it seems a little strange to me
I dont know about CDI specifically as i dont care about that system at all, but other systems have used padding in the past to fill out a entire disc, Gamecube for example most iso's are 1.4GB which is how much a Gamecube disc can hold as it's a mini DVD essentially, despite some games being less than 100MB when compressed, maybe that's the case here also? I mean the obvious thing to do is test the CHD to see if it works.

I did add a coverflow, but videos don't play and that seems to be a BB limitation? I don't know why that is. It kind of makes coverflow not worth the effort. Shrugs.
Rob
The default theme has two coverflow views, one of which shows videos, so it is possible.

Just now, AssaTM said:Just to add some context, I would like the platform view that this youtube video has:
And I've attached the platform views I currently have to the video below
Thank you for the help
Ah, OK, so you are in the platform view here, i was confused as you had a game video in your screenshot. OK this is a very simple fix, you need to download some platform videos, currently you don't have any, and you also have the option on to show a random game video when you don't have a platform video. There are links to the videos on the themes download page, and they are also i believe available directly in the Launchbox downloader, Tools/Download Playlist/Platform videos. What you see there in the SNES image you posted is a fullscreen 16:9 video, not just a small video in the middle of images, the whole thing is a video file.

Hi,
Amazing theme, thank you! but I cannot seem to get a Platform view that has the videos in a box with the platform title above them, it is always a full screen video with detail - i've attached a picture as an example, but any advice on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
Set a key/button in the options for "switch view" and use that when in a view, most themes have more than one view, and you are simply on a different one.

27 minutes ago, NaugrimOhtar said:I downloaded the latest files in this thread, and installed them. In the theme manager within big box though, it reports as version 1.0 (not 2.x), and says there is an update to 1.1 available.
Because 2.0 is not available from within Bigbox yet, so it is unaware of this version. That manage theme section is really meant for managing themes that are downloaded from within Bigbox, not for themes from the forums.

i dropped your xaml file into the data folder since thats where ive seen other xaml fles..is that correct?
No, it goes in the "Views" folder of whatever theme you use, and yes it would require 12.9 or 12.10 i think.
