PASC V2 (Plain and Simple Carbon) View File The theme NOW supports ALL Resolutions! (tested from 800x600 thru to 4K) This theme was written from scratch and offers 4 views for Platform (2 Horizontal, 1 Vertical and 1 Text) and 6 views for Game (4 Horizontal, 1 Vertical and 1 Text) There are 5 color options and 3 alternate views to support Boxes, 3D Boxes and Clear Logos. The .zip file contains custom Banners, custom Platform Clear Logos (with Template) and I have separately posted the Platform and Game Clear Logos in the downloads section. I have included a separate Installation and Setup Guide. NOTE: You MUST change the video playback Engine to Windows Media Player Many thanks to the following people: @SIMPLY AUSTIN for my Theme design, one of his videos inspired me @Grila for his Controller and Battery dll’s @Zombeaver for the platform banner idea @viking for the platform videos And last but not least @Jason Carr PASC_V2_-_Installation_and_Setup_Guide.rtf Submitter y2guru Submitted 02/03/2018 Category Big Box Custom Themes

The Plain and Simple Theme just shows the Time, plus i took some of the code from Critical Zone - Blue Box to create Plain and Simple.

Daves Custom Game Wheels (wip).zip View File I am about to drop a new Theme and I am developing new Game Art to go along with it, I am sharing this with you all in case you wish to use what I have and perhaps utilize the template to create/share your own :-) Submitter y2guru Submitted 02/03/2018 Category Game Clear Logos

its ok and I'm happy with it, I know it can be better though, but that's what updates are for :-)

Thanks @kmoney I've never used or seen hyperspin but I added the joystick to provide a visual cue as to which way you can scroll thru the platforms/games :-)

I was never really into PC's for my personal use as i use them on a daily basis and they drive me mad, my son on the other hand is a PC gamer through and through (I'm more of a console gamer) As for the colors..... I'm already working on options ;-)

background looks good, stick with it :-) , the video playing through the mask and the platform banner, it all looks very good so far.

I like it too, you know what ... i was originally going to use a grunge abstract mask for my theme but deviated after watching one of Simply Austin's youtube videos. Anyway... nice work! look forward to downloading it once you're done :-)

There's something very wrong here when my son has a better setup than i do!!

hahaha its all good Neil, just nerdy stuff. I'm almost done with 1080p with various scaling. I'll wrap up and test on my sons 4K setup and my 1080p desktop connected to the TV

:-) I'm using Viewbox for the scaling, its a tricky SOB

Sounds like you are running at 100% which is the same as my desktop connected to the TV, my laptop is 150% and my sons desktop is 200%. oh the joy

I'm curious, do you typically run at 1080p and what is your scaling % set to? i'm testing on 3 machines and the % is very different, hence this is taking me longer than expected.

so sorry about that, the video was set to private, I've changed it to public.

Theme completed for the Surface Book 2 (Resolution 3240 x 2160) Now... working on 4K, 1080p, 720p and the Scaling is kicking my butt!!! but here's a little peek at the 1080p version https://youtu.be/PFgo-o_ysmc

If I were to include Game Clear Logos with my new Theme, is it at all possible to keep them in a separate folder and have the Theme pick them up from the Theme location instead of ..Launchbox/Images/PLATFORM/Clear Logo/ ?? Similar to how you can override the Platform Clear Logos

@zetec-s-joe You can use notepad, but I highly recommend downloading and using Notepad ++

Ah ok, it’s the aspect ratio... that will still come in handy! Cheers @Rincewind

@Jason Carr Hey Jason, I could of sworn you posted a tip detailing a method that can enable the theme creator to enforce a given resolution, I cannot find it anywhere :-( If I'm not mistaken can you link it... pretty please.
