I've made progress. I've just been busy. I'll try to get an update posted in the next couple of days.

I'll post a couple of screenshots tonight.

@isilkin -- I appreciate the offer to help. It's looking pretty good right now, so hopefully I won't need any. I wanted to post that I was making this theme after reading this thread since I thought it could be of interest to you and others that are reading this. I'm not really looking to make this exactly like any specific Xbox interface. I'm just creating a theme that I like and hopefully others will too, which happens to have a modernish Xbox One interface kind of a look. I'm open to suggestions, and if I like them I'll probably use them. But I don't think I'll be making many changes. This is something that I'm making for myself but am happy to share.

Hey, Does anyone know if/how you can display what playlist you're using in a theme through metadata or some other way? I'm looking for a way to do it through text, like how the metadata can be displayed. Thanks.

I started working on a theme influenced by the Xbox One interface. The current theming engine is a bit limited for trying to make a theme like that, so that's why there aren't really any. Keep in mind this is still in it's early stages (I just started it yesterday). The bottom two green squares on the left will have icons and not remain blank, I just haven't got that far yet.

That sounds awesome! Don't worry I'm not going to keep harassing you about releasing this. I'm just excited about it.

Do you have any ideas as to when you might release this?

Holly View File This is a theme that I've been hacking away at for a while. It has 4 views -- A fullscreen video view with and without scanlines and a widescreen view with and without scanlines. I included all the playlist logos that I created. I was inspired by the Chicuelo theme. Just exact the folder "Holly" into your themes directory and install the font.

I decided to update my Holly theme. I'm adding two new platform views and three new game views. I also intend to add a wall view and text games view, the same one's I use in my Alyssa theme. The first video shows the original theme. Every video and image after it is the updated project.

@Colpipes78, I just realized where you got them from. I guess I wasn't up to date with the box art on this site. Thanks.

@Colpipes78, where did you get the SNES and N64 box art?

Do we know where the potential Black Friday sale announcement will be? Would it be under Forums/News and Announcements?

Neat, thanks.

Very interesting. Is the controller mapping per game or core? Did you make the controller image files yourself using a photo editing program?

@Crush, how are you doing that?

Wow, thanks @dragon57!

I'm looking for a bunch -- NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, Sega Master System, Genesis, 32X, Saturn, Dreamcast Atari 2600, 5200, 7800 Colecovison PS1, PS2

Those are the darkened and blurred ones. They also typically have a system laying on top of the box art.

Hi, Does anyone know where I can find these wallpapers? I swear they were posted on this site before, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm looking for the non altered versions of these. (Not darkened or blurred). Thanks.

Yep, still alive.

I think @thetwistedblueis correct. I had no idea it was a controller issue until I saw this thread. I just thought it was the way BigBox performed. I have a G4560 Cpu, GTX 1050, and 8gb of ram. That's not a low end system, so I don't think that this only affects low end systems.

I agree with Grilla. He's making the theme for himself. Let's just be happy he's sharing it. I think this thing is really cool and perfect for small collections like, "best of's."

@jayjay I did try the Mario Pause Menu. A message box popped up right away that said, "2nd," and it did not go away. Other than that, it worked.

Hey, @jayjay. Sorry I've been pretty sparse spending time on this project lately. I've just been busy, and I've lost the ability to mess around with this while at work, since our security got a lot tighter. (I can no longer launch RetroArch). I will hopefully get a chance tonight after work to try the new pause menu. It looks really cool.
