Depends on your hardware specs, but if your session loads at at a good time, and visually it does not bother you with stuff popping up before BB does, then I would not mess around with it and leave it as it is
-
No, because if I am not mistaken, the startup processes are triggered by explorer. You should check just in case, but I think that adding stuff in the Startup folder but not loading explorer as the shell will not do anything with it.
-
Sure, it is called 3RVX, and yes, it works as intended without the need of an active explorer process.

Glad you sorted it out. My method does not involve the registry, but the Group Policy (gpedit.msc) and going to User Configuration \ Admin Templates \ System \ Custom User Interface. In regards of the volume control, I have a 3rd party tool that launches in the shell script that emulates Windows regular volume control and shortcuts, and it even has skins, so I set the retro one that goes along nicely. Take care!

You can make Bigbox.exe be the actual shell for Windows, so it never loads the taskbar or any other thing. I have in my set a script as the shell, that launches Bigbox, and some other features/tools, and then if I close Bigbox (without restarting or turning off the machine) or switch to Launchbox, it launches explorer.exe automatically. If the above scenario helps you, let me know and I"ll share the lines with you.

Adding the ones I shared in the other topic, as well as some new ones I did. The Tiger one is a modification of @rexryan's one; I tried finding a better quality version of the red handheld but could not, so I enlarged and used the same one. If you have a better quality one, share it with me As an FYI for the creators, the baseline of the clear logos that faeran created is at 110 pixels from the bottom side of the banner, so all of the names are lined up and not at different heights.

@webfly do you mind expanding a little bit more about the above? I did not understand your post. You moved the mp3s from the Background folder to which one? @MayorQwert were you able to resolve this matter? I am just giving a shot at having background music in BB instead of the video snaps sounds, and I am getting the same behavior; the list is like restarting and from the 170 songs I have, I only keep hearing the same 3.

Using Photoshop in my case, but with the source files from faeran's template file, so everything is the same to my eyes -
@rexryan as a heads-up, you are missing the overlay gradient that goes both sides, and as a recommendation you could make the main image do a gradient to transparent when reaching the clear logo at the bottom.

@faeran I was not able to resolve the game banners issue, but I don't mind as I wanted to use this theme for the categories and platform views (which is working beautifully), and then inside each platform/playlist different themes. I am in the process of making specific banners for my needs. Sharing them here in case somebody wants to grab them: Categories: Magazines and Pinball. Playlists: Hacks and Fan-Made, IGS PolyGame Master, and Recently Played. Platforms: Future Pinball and Pinball FX3. Missing for my set (that I will be doing next) are Microsoft Windows (from the 90s), 3D Realms (playlist), Openbor, Popcap, Tiger Game.com (platforms).

I am running 10.13. Maybe I need to force image cache. Will give it a shot later on.

Looks awesome @faeran! I am having an issue and don't know if it is me who is doing something wrong (or I am missing a step). When I load the theme into a platform (i.e. NES), I do not get the images in the view: In one of the views I do however get the content: Any info you could provide will be highly appreciated
-
Got it. I was going to ask you how you managed to work with the grey texts in this theme so it does not get drowned in the background color (if you reversed the colors or something). -
@Jason Carr : Spanish_ES_10.12.zip Stay safe everybody! ?

Hahaha! Hope all is good over there Klops Take care!
-
Care to share your dark version? Thanks!
-
Looks great! Nice work @shadowgangs! I'm in.
-
Nice job Klops! I haven't payed much attention to Scumm lately; did not know that The Last Express was playable. That is some good news!

Neon Deluxe Arcade - 16:9 (Big Box Theme)
Kondorito commented on Mr. RetroLust's file in Custom Themes
Yes! I can't wait to get home and test it out! Faster than its predecessor? Sign me up! My PC struggled a lot with that one, so hopefully I can run this one Thank you Lust for sharing your creations. -
This theme looks beautiful I really love how you used the bg fanart both as blur for the entire window as well as in gradient behind the game title on the details for unity. Sexy and clever. I would love to have the video preview located where the screenshots are, nevertheless I would still use it as it is
-
Loved it! Haha! -
Hey Harry! Looks great! However, could it be that you processed it without the sound channel enabled or no sound at all? At least its muted on my end. -
It's even beyond Beta at this point! I would go with either "Release candidate" or a plain "Stable release".

For the first bullet, you could check as well @Grila's awesome random plugin:
