    ****** NOTE THIS THEME IS BUILT FOR STEAM STYLE BANNERS FOR THE FLOWCONTROL WHEEL. ********* This is my one & only theme called Play Box that started off as a personal project to what i desired which was a modern look of the sony playstation 4 & Microsoft xbox one consoles user interfaces with nostalgic retro views of classic games. This theme is highly customisasble & has been several months of hard but enjoyable work, I have tested at 1920 x 1080p screen resolution & all seems fine so any positive feedback would be gratefull. Included in my theme is a customisable Username with Avatar picture that you can edit to use your own picture & therefor the picture needs to be 62px x 62px in size. To change the names you can just select the canvas, click & drag a rectangle shape over the names & delete. Then create a new Text & input your own names. This can be done with any editing tool such as Paint 3D in Windows 10, Or you can use the 10 other Presets that i have included. As for Menu control layouts i have created them mostly for Microsoft XBOX One but i have also included Sony Playstation 4 control layouts as an alternative. There are 3x Platform views & 11x Game views to choose from all with menu controls. I have sourced all fan art backgrounds through google & with them i have created over 350 VideoBorders for modern & classic systems. Important note**If the Background & VideoBorder views do not display properly for a platform on your system, there will most likely be naming conflicts between your platforms & files in my theme. To fix this issue, you must locate these files in the Background & VideoBorder folders of my Play Box theme then change the names to your actual platforms name. Installation Unzip the Play Box folder to your Launchbox /Themes directory. Setting up Steam Banners Make sure you set Platform & Game images as Steam Banners within the game options in Launchbox. Then for them to be used in the theme correctly set the priority of the boxes view to prioritise Steam Banners first - if you ever want to revert this it is then simply a case of lowering the priority of the steam banners in the boxes list rather than having to remove or reorganise images. To do this open Launchbox and go to Tools --> Options and in the window that appear select Box Front Properties in the Images section and use the Up button to move the Steam Banners to the top of the list. Big thanks to Jason Carr, CriticalCid & RetroHumanoid for there Unified themes which has inspired me to create my videoborder views. and a thanks to Nosh for Banners which i have slightly edited to scale to my theme A special thanks to Grilla for his Game controller plugin which has enabled me to show the status & battery progress of my Game controllers.

  6. A really great feature to be added to Big Box themes would be a Launchbox Big Box Community page/section, like a web page detailing videos, news & images all relating to launchbox. I was recently browsing through my Xbox one & some steam games on my PC & thought Big Box themes would benefit from a Launchbox Hub where people from the Launchbox community could share pics & videos or latest gaming news all from Big Box itself.
  7. Great looking theme shro2016. Looks great on a big screen TV. Would you be able to add Grila's custom big box controls plugin to your themes for date & time & controller battery status as I have no experience with visual studio.
  8. Hi, This theme is great & I use it daily hooked up to my big TV. I wanted to have the date & time & controller battery status displayed in this theme which would have made it complete for me so I tried to edit your theme with visual studio to add grila's big box controls plugin but have no experience with visual studio & don't know where to start. Would you please add grila's plugin to this theme if you get chance.
    beautiful theme & very clean. I really like the ability to use steam banners. Would it be possible to remove the top left & right corner sections where logos are situated so I can have my videos in full view with16:9 aspect ratio
    I love this theme, Great work & it is the theme I use on my PC hooked up to big TV. One small request if possible, In your Blade Runner theme I like the Xbox controls icons as I use my Xbox controller. Would you please be able to add them to this City Hunter theme as it would finish it off for me. I have attatched images so Thanks & keep up the good work.
    I like this startup video & the music, but would you be able to do another version without the black borders top & bottom & also the launchbox cube picture in center would be nice with the colours
  9. Thanks very much, I have all 3D box art covers for all games in most of each platform & for my Arcade games I use the Arcade cabinet icons in the 3D box folder to display each game & now looks a treat.
    Love these arcade cabinet icons. I would like to make a request for some more to finish my collection if possible please. Alien vs Predator, Armored Warriors, Bad Dudes vs DragonNinja, Cadillacs and Dinosaurs, Carrier Air Wing, Darius Gaiden-Silver Hawk, Final Fight, Galaga, Gradius 4, Gunbird 2, R-Type 1, R-Type Leo, Shadow Dancer, Sol Divide-The Sword of Darkness, Vasara 2 and Xevious.
  10. Best of luck with this.
  11. Sounds good but I would much rather navigate through my pc like an XBOX One. It's all personal preference.
  12. I agree , I am sure there could be talented enough people to do this.
  13. Hey no problem, The truth is better than no truth.
  14. What a shame, No problem though & thanks for the feedback.
  15. Does anyone know if you could install LaunchBox on an XBOX One seem as though it is using Windows 10 Operating System.
  16. It would be great to have an XBOX One Dashboard/UI theme so that I am browsing through my PC in Big Box like I am on my XBOX One.
  17. Wow, that was quick, thanks very much.
  18. Hi Viking, would you please be able to do a logo for XBOX App for Windows. Attached pic for example, thanks, Daz
  19. Thanks very much Viking, these are great.
    These platform videos are getting very interesting and look fantastic in my Big Box setup. Could you possibly update the Commodore 64 video with the Tape Deck. Also I know these may be different from other platforms but I would really love to have videos for KODI and the XBOX App for Windows 10, Some pics for reference are attached. Many Thanks.
  20. I have figured it out now, My Big Box.exe shortcut that I put in the startup folder was set to Run as Administrator in the Properties section, I unchecked this & now Big Box starts up after Windows has loaded.
