I thought I would join in on the NES fun:

You're on fire! Compressed versions have been added to the first post. I've also added @harryoke's playlist images, and I created my take on 3 of the new arcade playlists.
-
Thanks @Scratcher! These are looking great in my library.
-
Awesome @Scratcher! I've added compressed versions to the first post.

Thanks a lot @alnyden. I'm sure GIMP would be able to edit those template files as well, but I have not tested that. Some basic skills in either of those programs would be somewhat required. If people do create a Platform/Playlist or Game specific background, I do encourage to post them in this thread. I'll be using the top post to showcase them in an easy to access area for people to easily pick and choose which ones they would like to add to their collection.

Guess I shouldn't go to sleep just before releasing a theme. Thanks guys for the troubleshooting. I've uploaded a new version of the theme with the fix, and for people that have already downloaded the theme and don't want to download it again, place this file in the below path: RetrotasticLoading.xaml LaunchBox\Themes\Retrotastic\Styles

Please post your Platform/Playlist or Game specific backgrounds/graphics in this thread. I'll make a master list in this thread of user created content you can add to your RetroTastic theme. Please read the RetroTastic documentation for instructions on how to add these to your RetroTastic library. BroskiPlays - @broskiplays Scratcher - @Scratcher Harryoke - @harryoke Faeran - @faeran

Retrotastic View File This is the old version of Retrotastic, and is no longer being supported. This theme has been remade in the COMMUNITY Theme Creator. Please find the new version here: Submitter faeran Submitted 09/09/2018 Category Big Box Custom Themes

Hi @CaptainJ, thanks for the comment. @bundangdon is right. Make sure the clear logo file has the same name as the platform name. Here's the path: Launchbox\Images\Platforms\[platform name]\Clear Logo\[clear logo file].png

Hi @sparksterz. Thanks for the comment. This is the unfortunate truth for a few of the coverbox themes due to the limitations of the theming engine. When I created the ones with the animations, I had to make a decision to either have the box art appear, or always show the game list. I ended up choosing to make the box appear, which means that if you use the game options screen, you won't be able to see the menu. I'll probably release versions of the themes that keeps the game list in lieu of the artwork. However, the ideal solution would be if the theming engine would allow for more than one text list view. That would solve this particular issue. Until then, we settle for what we have.

Thanks for the kind words. Just know that coverbox will be continuing with more systems in the future. Just keep an eye out. -
We've reached over 150 platform backgrounds, and the theme's coding is pretty much ready to go. It's safe to say, Retrotastic is coming soon. Here's a teaser of this fun little theme: -
Sure. Let me know if this is big enough. I can make adjustments if needed. Overwrite the following file into the "Views" folder (ie: LaunchBox\Themes\GCFE\Views\ ) TextGamesView.xaml
-
Hi @DragoonDemon4. Glad you like the theme. Looks like the issue stems from language. The easiest way to fix that would be to go to this location and change the file names to match the text of your play modes options. Launchbox\Theme\GCFE\Images\Icons\Play Mode\ Let me know how that goes.
-
Hey @sc0tt88. Thanks for the comment. tried to recreate the issue on my computer, but couldn't, so I'll try to figure something out and send you a PM shortly. -
We have made it to a milestone of 120 systems. Here is a video of some of them in action. If you would like to help with the theme by creating images, shoot me a PM.

Thanks for the comment @eskay993. 1. I know there are issues when changing resolutions, or changing your text scaling. I'll double check the PSX ones and see what I can do to fix them. 2. Yes, I was actually fairly reluctant to release them because of this. I was hoping to get a second text list view added to bigbox. Decided to release them in the end, however, I can release a set of them that removes the animation. 3. More CoverBox themes will definitely be coming Along with other themes that don't fit into the CoverBox mould.
-
Just to add to what @harryoke said. All the graphics are customizable. Closer to release, I'll be writing some kind of guide explaining how you can customize each piece. I'll also be releasing a few different versions of the theme.

This is a setting you can choose in LaunchBox. Open the Options and go to Images > Background Priorities Make sure it looks something like this, which uses Fanart Backgrounds first, and then Screenshot - Gameplay if no fanart background is found.
-
It uses fanart/background images from your library. Make sure you download that media for any game you would like to see it for.
-
I can definitely make something like this for you. If you can PM me the PSD file you used to make the mock up, that would help with its creation.

Nintendo DS is definitely on a to-do list, however, the split screen makes it a little tricky. I'll have to think of something creative. Also, there's a set of video snaps going around that are not split screen, so when I do tackle this, I'll need to think of 2 separate designs. For your questions, you will definitely have to install the fonts on any computer that you use. Putting them all in a folder, highlighting them all > right click install, would be the quickest way to do it. Launchbox is fairly portable, as long as everything is relatively pathed, and windows dependencies are met, you'll be okay. You'll find out more about your specific build once you give it a try.

This wouldn't be too hard to do. I could figure something out for you if you want.
