CoverBox has been updated to 2.6 on the forums Fixed Play Mode graphics in default text view Added CoverBox Nintendo 3DS view Added CoverBox SNK Neo Geo AES view

Unfortunately, it would be a great undertaking to convert this theme to 4:3.

CoverBox has been updated to version 2.5 on the forums. Added: CoverBox Nintendo DS theme view

Hi @cyrheys. Coverbox used to be many different themes. Each system, its own theme. During that time, I made a few different themes for the same platform with alternative views (like the NES one you saw in the video. With the release of LaunchBox 9.4 I was able to combine the 20+ themes into one, making it much easier to set everything up. The downside, was that I had to choose only 1 text view per system (this is a BigBox limitation). The compromise is that there's a folder called Alternate, which houses the alternate views that I didn't use the official release of CoverBox 2.0. You can find this location here: Launchbox\Themes\CoverBox\Views\TextGamesView\Alternate Copy and paste any of the views from in here, into the TextGamesView folder and overwrite. Just note: The reason I decided to remove the boxart/cart from the Sega views is that it makes the game details page useless, as you won't be able to see the menu.

PausePie View File PausePie is a simple pause theme for LaunchBox/BigBox based off of the RetroPie system menu. A simple text based menu system overlays a slightly blurred background image of the game. Installation Instructions Extract the PausePie folder into your LaunchBox\PauseThemes folder Go into the PausePie folder and install the Primus-Demo.otf font Open LaunchBox or BigBox and change the Pause Theme to PausePie Submitter faeran Submitted 08/18/2019 Category Pause Themes  

CoverBox has been updated to version 2.4 on the forums. Added: CoverBox Intellivision theme view Added: CoverBox ColecoVision theme view Fixed: Sony Playstation theme - some box sizes were not scaling properly at different resolutions other than 1920x1080

Sorry for the late response. I've fixed this for a future release.

Retrotastic has been updated on the forums to version 2.03. I have updated the theme to the newest themer plugin (version 3.9.4)

Delete the following file: Launchbox\Themes\Radiance\Views\TextGamesView\Super Nintendo Entertainment System.xaml Or edit that file to remove the following code: <Image Grid.Column="1" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Source="{Binding Path=ActiveGame.CartFrontImagePath}"> <Image.Effect> <DropShadowEffect ShadowDepth="5" Direction="325" BlurRadius="15" Opacity="0.5" Color="Black" /> </Image.Effect> </Image>

Hi @Xirvet. Not entirely sure why they wouldn't be showing up for you. Look in the Retrotastic plugins folder, and edit the Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_2.dll.config file in a text editor. Make sure it says this near the top: <add key="Setting.AllowResourceOverrides" value="True" /> . If it's set to false, change it to True. the themer plugin is supposed to take care of all the logic behind displaying these images.

It's not currently available. It's not really a theme for every situation, as it requires custom banners for every game in your library. I've completed an alternate game view that includes video playback, and the text list view. Here's a video showing them off.

Unfortunately, the larger image was more of an experiment that didn't work out. I left the image in there just in case I wanted to revisit in the future. If I get some time, I may look into adding it to a new platform view.

Thanks @bbweiners. You are right. Just add MaxVerticalImageResolutionOverride into your CoverFlow, and play around with a suitable number to match your images.

Thanks. Unfortunately, the banners I'm creating are too far along to change now. I like seeing them, especially for the platforms I'm not too familiar with. However, anyone can create banners, they are just an image (384x1080) and not technically part of the theme. Yes, the controller is just part of the banner images I've put together.

Just wanted to share a video of a theme I've been working on. It started with the idea of seeing if I could get BigBox to run a theme with big, vertical banners as the main showcase. It has turned into a fun project, where I've been able to turn it into a functional theme that I'm currently using as my main. The theme itself uses custom made vertical banners for both platforms and games, which means a lot of work for me to populate banners for every game in my library. Here's the video showcasing some of it in action.
