You just need to go to his patreon page and you can find the download there. It is still a free download it is just housed on his Patreon page.

Where's the download .zip gone?  There's only a .txt file that points to the Patreon link.  Is this not free anymore or has the download been removed and not updated?
Thanks

@Mr. RetroLust I flagged his second account. Confirmed he was using the same IP address as his JonnyModlin account. 

@JonnyModlin I did not ban you for your actions, but another attempt by you to use a different account to request marquee images and you will be banned. 

[LaunchBox Multi Monitor and BigBox +3rd monitor plugin]

I think they were both there all along. There was something about not using the default folder the users wanted so they asked for custom. Either way it could do with a better code using visibility bindings. This way it can use either custom folder or default. Gives me something to do. 👍

[LaunchBox Multi Monitor and BigBox +3rd monitor plugin]

@JoeViking245 That custom controls folder was done in one of my pause themes. I used a custom folder as a couple users that wanted the theme did not want to have custom controls images inside the actual LB Arcade Controls folder to preserve the images of the real arcade control panels. Those themes are a bit old and could use a refresh using visibility bindings instead or the binding in the existing theme can just be changed to use the Arcade - Controls folder binding.

and how do i run it

This is a video theme for the game. Download the video file and save it somewhere. Then right click the game in LB and choose "edit". Go to the "videos" tab and choose "Add Video" and assign the video that way. 

If you are asking about how do you actually run this game you need to game file and it runs through TeknoParrot. This however, would not be the thread to discuss that.

Ook thank you so much, do I have to subscribe to download the file? Like the subscription with payment?

No. Its been a bit since I looked but on the site scroll down a bit until you see one of the release posts. Click on it and then you should see the download on the next page.

Hello guys may I ask you why when I try to download it, I click download this file -> Agree and Download - and then it download only a patreon.txt file and not the program ? Thank you so much

Because you have to go to his Patreon site and get the download there. It is no longer offered as a direct download on his site. Download and support is done mainly there.

I am really sorry to bother you but do you still take requests?

Reason being I would first like to say a massive thank you for the ones you have done, they look stunning on the arcade cab, but I would like to request one for pokken tournament and for Nes remix if possible? Or do you have a template available at all?

Much love ❤️

 

I can try to remake this template. Its been over 3 years now since I messed with these and the drive this was one crashed. It was one of the only drives I did not have being backed up for some dumb reason. I will see what I can get done for you. 

EDIT:

Here are the 2 files. It was a quick put together as I have to head out of town for work. So these should fill the gap on these 2 for now for you.

There are some very slight differences as I could not remember drop shadow, gradient, and some positional settings I did in the original. When I return from my business trip I will try and sit down to see if I can refine the template more and then post it. Cannot promise any ETA. My time at home is short before next trips.

Awesome but how do you install this in Launchbox?

Just download the file and drop the images in the image folder you want to use them for. Typically these would go in the \Images\Arcade\Arcade - Control Panel folder.

hi

i really like this theme 

and also the game wheel view 

looks like hyperspin.

how did you make it like that?

is it possible that you can share that in CTC file thanks 

This release was not made with the CTC. There is one that was. You just need to look in the theme downloads section for the Unified CTC.

Can you please help me of what previous set should i delete and which 4 png files and one jpeg file in previous collection. which some small optimizations of some marquees was fixed? Thank you.

If you downloaded 2.6 (or an earlier version) delete it and download 2.7. That's all you need to do.

OK and sounds good. Look forward of you downloading all of my 184 marquees both updated and new in one big file. Can't wait to see my 184 marquees both updated and new improved.

I am going to recommend you be patient.....very, very patient. It a gift when people we do not directly know are willing to take their free time to help so be respectful of that and be patient.

I am sure you are excited and want to see images, but please head this warning. Frequent posts asking where the redone images are will be deleted and if you continue past that I will ban you.

I finished uploading new and updated marquees.zip folder, new and updated marquees #2.zip folder, and metal slug 4 large black marquee.zip folder. which marquees will you be adding in the next update and how do they look for new and updated marquees.zip folder, new and updated marquees #2.zip folder, and metal slug 4 large black marquee.zip folder? Will you clean and restore them that I have them in new and updated marquees.zip folder, new and updated marquees #2.zip folder, and metal slug 4 large black marquee.zip folder? Thank you.

You are starting to get a little pushy and getting to the point of spamming for things that "need to be cleaned". I applaud Mr Retrolust for all the work he does for free and shares with us and for being willing to get images from you to work on. 

You were warned a couple years ago to stop doing this on our forum and even in other forums.  

Post the images in one big file and then sit back and be patient. If Retrolust posts cleaned images he will when he gets to them. If you continue to spam asking when things will be done and this "needs to be cleaned" you will get banned.

How to leave the Categories page as the home page (which has the items Consoles, Portables and etc.)? I change it in the Big Box but, after I log out and log back in, it goes back to the Platforms screen as the home screen.

Thanks for the theme!

By change it in BB do you mean you changed the "Default Startup View" setting in BB to "Platform Categories" located in >Setting >Options >Views?

Same thing you are seeing, but the download I get ends up being 1.63GB

[ABeezy's Nintendo 64 Box Fronts]

@Darkphenomenon Yeah definitely different than what I am seeing. 1.63GB and 296 files. I cannot imagine what would prevent one file (and the same one at that) from being in the zipped download. 

[ABeezy's Nintendo 64 Box Fronts]

@Darkphenomenon The image is there. Just downloaded the zip myself.

@faeran Hiya mate, I use this theme for BigBox platforms and most of them are teriffic. Only issue I have is with the DS and 3DS themes. I was just thinking cos I came across another BigBox Theme called 'GameRoom' by @BMovieBen and it has a DS and 3DS theme that splits up the top and bottom half of the video snaps and it works flawlessly.

Appears here for a split second but I reckon that doing that in the CoverBox DS/3DS themes would look great. Just a suggestion tho. Cheers.

 

Just an FYI faeran released the Community Theme Creator files for this theme which allows any user to edit the theme to their liking.

Love this theme, it's stunningly gorgeous.

I have to say I agree with some of the above, would love to see video snaps more prominent.  Would also love to see an UltraWide version.
Any chance of CTC files so we can play with it?

It has already been mentioned this theme was made using standard coding methods and not the CTC. So in order to customize this you would need to dabble in backend coding.

Can anyone explain to me how the View Box element works? Did @faeran do a video on it, I can't seem to find anything about it or how it actually works. Thx

ViewBox controls its child element. It can stretch/scale the child to fill an available space. A ViewBox can only contain one child element, but you can overcome that by adding child elements to that child. Example: The ViewBox can contain a "Canvas" as its one child. Inside the "Canvas" you can then have several "StackPanels". You could not do 2 "Canvas" elements in the ViewBox.

Definitely agree with all the props the community has given you and appreciate all the time and hard work you put into all the media you provide us. My cabinets definitely make use of a ton of Mr. RetroLust polish! Huge thanks Retro!

I thought of that but without project files I can't edit radiance in theme creator. Also I can't apply radiance to a single view, it can only be applied as my main theme. When I go to "manage themes" radiance does not have the "apply to" option.

Radiance was not created using the CTC. Looking at the code in the xaml files this looks to have been manually coded. So you would not be able to edit it in the Theme Creator tool.

Thats sorted it, all working well, thank you for spending the time on it 😀

No worries. I needed to sit down and update these themes with better coding. Still some things I want to do learn to do before I release a formal update.
