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.

Hi @HeyMufti. Let's check some basic stuff first. It looks like you are on a text list platform view. You will want to change to another Platform view. If you haven't already, go into BigBox > Options > Views Change the Platforms List View to: Platform Wheel 1. Let me know if that helps. -
Thanks, looked like the CoverBox - NES Detailed was missing the plugin, but the NES one did have it. You may need to unblock the plugin by right clicking the zip file, or the plugin, going into properties, and unblock.

Sorry, not right this time! I updated both the CoverBox - NES and NES Detailed themes! And the CoverBox - N64 theme! And the CoverBox - Gamecube and Gamecube 2 themes!

Yeah, I've been doing some extensive photoshop work on the console backgrounds to make them work in the theme, as well as upgrading as many of the low quality ones that I could. There was about 4 or 5 I didn't have to edit, the rest either couldn't be used, or could be used after editing. Mostly all of the playlist graphics couldn't be used. There's still lots of graphics to go, I was able to get some help from another person in the community, but if anyone wants to be part of this, send me a PM.

Just so people are aware: Broskiplays left this project shortly after his last post in this thread.

Hi @Porl Hendy. I've re-positioned the video snaps in version 1.11. Download it and give it a try.
