    Awesome. Is The covers flying in and disc spinning what you are thinking about adding. Because that is very cool as well. 

    There's just a number of tweaks that each one could probably use. It's more just polishing them up with things I've learned since I've started.

    I have some shall we call them hope/request and praise ?. 

    On some systems when picking them your theme begins with like a bios screen video. I think the Gameboy is one this absolutely blew my mind the first time it happened something I would love to see added on more themes. 

     

    Second the request hope/question. i

    s Playstation 1 a system you are considering ?.. 

    Thanks @ALIE. I'll be going back through all my Coverbox themes at some point and implementing this splash page (and a few other things) to all of them.

    It does seem like Sega is going well. Sony may need some love soon enough.

    How do i install this? I want the NES theme to show up with the NES games, GBA with GBA you know what i mean.

    Hi @broskiplays. Here is what you need to do:

    1. You have to go into the BigBox options.
    2. Go into Views and make sure "Remember separate view for each platform" is checked off.
    3. Go into Keyboard Mappings or Controller Buttons, and map a key to "Switch Theme"
    4. Then go into your choice of platform (like the Sega Genesis), click your "Switch Theme" key and choose which theme you would like.

    Another great theme!

    I am having an issue with the games details page.  When you select a game it shows the games details list.  However, if you wait a couple seconds, it goes away (box icon returns on top of it), and then the interface stops working -- you can't navigate games or games details list.  (It seems like it's in the games detail but you can't see the options under the graphics).  Hope this makes sense.  

    Hi @alnyden. This is unfortunately true. The menu won't come back while in the game details/options page. I would need to release a version where the menu never goes away, and the box/cart images never appear. I'm thinking of releasing that version for people that use the game details page.

    Astonishing. Thank you.

    Is there any way to remove Star Rating and/or Single/Multi info, and add instead a "Completed" tag icon?

    Also, i have a problem with GameBoy one. According to instructions i have to find the BebasNeue Regular and DisposableDroidBB fonts but i found DentonBETA2 in the download zip file.

    Hi @Sath. Thanks for catching the Game Boy issue. I have uploaded a new version which should fix the problem.

    For the Master System, were you looking for something like this:

    Hey @faeran - Amazing work, as always.

    I think you excelled yourself with your Wii theme. Is there any chance you make a slight variation on the existing Wii theme to allow for WiiWare games? Maybe just a logo replace?

    Many Thanks,

    -T

    CoverBox - Wii Ware can now be downloaded.

    You can also see this option being used in the theme RetrAO Cafe with a rather cheesy yet effective background video :)

     

    So if my understanding is correct. This would allow a background video being played. Something like this?

    Is there any way to add a default video to the background instead of a platform?

    I did not realize this was an option. How does this work?

    Also, may be easier to implement if I can look at a theme that can already do this.

    Seems reasonable. When I get some time I'll look into doing that.

    i am having an issue where my Jpeg platform clear logos don't work in the games view. Converting to PNG resolves this problem. Anyone else run into this issue?

    i circled the area where mine are missing.

    Unfortunately, the way it's coded, the clear logos will have to be PNG files.
