This series of videos was replaced by the Theme Workshop. Which can be found on the Unbroken Software YouTube channel and goes live weekly. https://www.youtube.com/c/UnbrokenSoftwareLLC/live This post has been left up for archival purposes. Retro Faeran's Theme Stream Twitch ◽ YouTube The Theme Stream is my running series where the goal is to create (or recreate) a theme for Big Box while I stream the entire process for people to watch and join in on. Veterans, or aspiring themers alike can watch, join in the process, ask questions, and grow our theming skills together. The published theme will then be posted here on the LaunchBox forums for people to try out, along with the COMMUNITY Theme Creator Project Files, for people to mess around with. Past videos will be posted on both my Twitch and YouTube channels, and links to them will be posted below. All themes will be built using @y2guru's COMMUNITY Theme Creator, which allows themes to be built with little, to no, coding. Place and manipulate layered elements on a canvas, add effects, and animation, without needing to know one bit of code. It's simple to use, and if you have any interest in theme creation, I recommend you download it right now.

Version 1.1 has been released for both the normal version and base version of BannerBox. If you already have BannerBox installed, best to use the base version and overwrite your folder with it. Here are the changes: Added new Platform View - Video music plays in the background Added new Platform view - Detailed view Added new games view - quicker animations Added a few banners from the community

I just uploaded version 1.1 which has a platform view with music from your videos playing.

Thanks man. Appreciate it.

if you hide all the games within a platform, it will hide the platform as well.

Which music are you looking to get?

In LaunchBox you could select your games, right click > edit > hide Or you can make your own banners. I created a video to show people how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtK2S7Owo8Y

Hi @itsturningred, that's good to hear. If you would like to learn how to create your own banners, you can watch the video I released on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtK2S7Owo8Y You can find the music from the video here: https://whitebataudio.com/downloads/miami-sky/

@y2guru was more referring to that since this theme was created using his COMMUNITY Theme Creator, it should be scaling to different resolutions and still look relatively the same (to a point), as this is one of the functions that the creator provides.

Hi @HerrVorragend1975. What screen ratio does a 10-years-old fullHD-mon have?

That is the strangest thing. It's not erroring at all? Have you ever seen something like this @y2guru?

I mean, there's still enough platform views that can be played around with. Would just have to think about a good way to implement videos, and use one of those views.

First make sure you put the banner in the right place: Launchbox\Themes\BannerBox\Images\Platforms\Banner\Windows.png Then make sure you refresh the platform wheel image cache in Big Box.
