Lol...when I finish up these videos,I will package the theme and send it to you

I take it back...I did not get rid of the info...I placed a second line and separated it so it no longer fades between the title and info,but,it displays at all times...here are some screenshots...alot of dead space because I place my monitors diagonal in windows so my kid doesn't move the mouse to the marquee monitor...

@Jason Carr I have not shared it. I am wondering if anyone would even use my version if I did tbh. Some changes I made were : *No scrolling text...I moved it to above the marquee on my top monitor *No Disc/Box art on the game selection screen...I moved it to the popup menu after you choose a game. *Got rid of the publisher,rating,year,etc. info from the game selection screen...it only shows the game title...and the rest of the info is in the popup screen when a game is selected. *I straightened the wheel...the curved wheel was something I never liked in HyperSpin *Made the wheels slightly smaller,and decreased the space between them,to fit more on the screen at one time. *Redid the system logos for each system,so the logo was just above the video border,instead of across the whole top (like in the collection and genre art I did) *Custom logo on the popup screen when a game is selected...There is probably more...I just can't remember atm what else I did

@Jason Carr I did download it,but,have not had a chance to look through it. I have made so many changes to artwork and code in Unified myself,I probably wouldn't switch over,although I will use the higher res artwork that you added in

Just a heads up,btw...I am currently working on a full set of these specific to mame games...

Added the 4 videos to the download section with the rest of them Multigames Maze Games Ball & Paddle Games Pinball Arcade

@Grila I use PLEX on my home server,and that looks amazingly similar...hats off sir!

Ah ok...I misunderstood the first post then

@Jason Carr a link to the fanart/backgrounds for all the genres I have done...most are taken from the Unified theme art I did,but,I removed the blur effect https://mega.nz/#F!rAhjXSYR!6YNIluzredaol9TJPtlkuA

@Jason Carr I will be working on the new genre videos over the next couple days to match the previously released set...ill post here when im finished

@harryoke absolutely...you can use any of the logos i made for whatever you want

These versions should stand out a bit more...placed them in a folder called "Alternate Brighter Versions" at the same link

Multigames

Maze Games

Ball & Paddle Games added to the folder as well

Added a pinball arcade logo to the folder with the clear logos I linked earlier....will work on the rest tomorrow

Not sure if I posted it anywhere,but,here are the high res logos I made for my genre videos...I made them,so you can use them any way you want,if it's suitable for what you are looking for. https://mega.nz/#F!3ZJ1FSDL!6Te8T72IjgejdQLCZgcvdw I will work on the 3 videos mentioned in #2 to match my current playlist video style...as well as new clear logos for them Here are the marquees I made for the genre set as well...if you can use them https://mega.nz/#F!nMQxUKzb!eOq8eEi4oVUuWvLnwNsRQw

Not trying to argue...no reason to get upset really....I am completely aware of how RocketLauncher works,trust me...but,as for implementing it's major features into Launchbox,it's easier said than done,and probably will never be done. Using MP4 is an easy way to do it,and it can even be a 2 second video that loops until the game loads...true it's not exactly like RL,and it certainly isn't perfect...but,it's certainly more elegant than a popup box and a black screen. There could also be an option to just not use it,if one chooses not to. Just like how the current Loading popup can be disabled.

what's not elegant? It fades into the video ,then fades from the video to the game. That's exactly what rocketlauncher does...but,if it's an mp4 it leaves the opportunity for more intricate or advanced looking fades.

I don't see why it wouldn't be possible to add fade in loading screens tbh...I converted a ton of my fades to mp4 for use in the ODROID ORA image release,and if launchbox wanted to do so,it could also use mp4's and avoid all the complicated artwork stuff. Pause would be a whole different story,but,I did see someone working on a Pause menu of sorts that looks very promising. nes.mp4

This looks pretty cool...you are on to something here...I'll be following the progress for sure...well done

No Problem...glad you like them!

@Super_Paulie I am not sure if you figured it out on your own yet,but,sorry for the late response...been busy. Here is the code I use to pull up the clear logos over the background marquee.Of course,you may need to tweak it a bit to display on your marquee properly. <!-- GAME LOGOS --> <Image Source="{Binding Path=SelectedGame.ClearLogoImagePath}" Stretch="Uniform" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Grid.RowSpan="4" Grid.Row="4" Grid.ColumnSpan="4" Grid.Column="2" Panel.ZIndex="2" Margin="20,20,20,20" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" /> Here is the code to place a default marquee behind those clear logos as well...but,you will need to adjust settings here as well,and check the paths leading to your artwork files. <!-- DEFAULT MARQUEE --> <TextBlock x:Name="DefaultMarquee" Visibility="Visible"> <TextBlock.Text> <MultiBinding StringFormat="{}pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Marquees/Default Marquee/{0}/_Default.png"> <Binding Path="SelectedGame.Platform"/> </MultiBinding> </TextBlock.Text> </TextBlock> <Image x:Name="MainDefaultMarquee" Grid.RowSpan="4" Grid.Row="4" Grid.ColumnSpan="8" Grid.Column="0" Source="{Binding Text, ElementName=DefaultMarquee, FallbackValue='pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Marquees/Default Marquee/_Default.png'}" Opacity="100" Stretch="fill" Panel.ZIndex="1" Margin="11,13,11,13" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" />
