Here's a preview of the theme. Still need to make lot's of banners.

Almost there, "only" one platform view to do + dozens of platform banners I will also do a separate 4:3 theme from this, because I need it for my retromachine. Latest changes. Removed the bars and simplified even more.

Here are some screenshots of an actual working theme. Testing how the background images work and show. I may adjust the dirt overlay graphics some more.

Hi and thanks! 1. You would need to make changes using the Community Theme Creator Tool. (download the tool and my project files). I encourage you to try it out. You will not need to code anything. 2. Yes, for the view that uses the square banners, you put the images to the "banner" folder. For the "thunder" view you use the "device" folder. 3. Yes, you will need to use the Community Theme Creator Tool to remove the video.

More views before I start building this with the Community Creator Tool.

Never ending story with my designs. Now I really think I'am close. Wanted some dirt and modern look. Had to change the fonts. Removed the menu background and darkened the background gradient instead.

Had to make more changes and give this theme more unique look compared to my other themes.

More of the same, but with different color scheme. Will try this out and if it's good, I will publish it.

Yes I have, but I don't have my previous settings available anymore. You are right about the issue. Now I just need to find out the correct commmand-line parameters to run FS-UAE with the additional apps. FOUND IT! fs-uae-launcher.exe was the right one. Thank you so much!

Hi, I'am using a program named HRC to switch my refresh rate from 60 to 50 hz for certain emulators, in this case FS-UAE. I have used the Additional Apps for this purpose. Running the HRC program before and after the main application. This used to work on older versions of LaunchBox, but now the option "Automatically run after main application" does not seem to work properly. The 50 hz command should run before FS-UAE is started (this works), but the "run after" option seems to run right after 50 hz resulting in FS-UAE running in 60 hz mode (should be 50 hz). So the trigger is not working correctly, or so I assume. Does anyone else have this problem?

@virividiann1198 you need to use Community theme creator tool and LV-101 project files to change the video to screenshot. You can download both in the download section. Sorry for not linking them here.

@Tigmex check the opacity values in the animation states.

I'am going to make a dedicated 4:3 version, because the theme elements don't scale like I would want them to. Here's some screenshots. It's them same, but more balanced to 4:3 ratio.

Don't worry. I'am not that touchy when it comes to my designs. Some times they work and some times they don't. I'am willing to give my theme project files to you. You could start learning to use the Community Theme Creator Tool for BigBox. With that you could tweak the fonts to suit better with your crt. The Theme is as light weight as I could make it, without lookin too flat.

I'am woking on it. Hopefully it will work on your setup. Care to test a demo? I could sent you the theme files. I'am curios as how this will work on crt. The font settings may need some adjustments.

Layout changes in game details view. Widened the menu to work better on 4:3 ratio also. Smoothed some of the animations.

Some progress. Added few animations. Testing with 16:9 and 4:3 ratios, seems to work fine. Some elements scale badly, but that's the trait off of being responsive. Works smoothly on my i5-4570t with 8 gb ram. Trying to tacle the infamous playlist device images and logos. Hard to make them work with the same layout as the platforms. Don't want to start making a lot of custom images for those.

Thanks. I'am making more views and doing a lot of testing. Hopefully I can fullfill the expectations. Primary objective is to make this theme fast, smooth and easy to customize.

Tested on 4:3 screen and the view was too cramped. Had to make more empty space between elements and now it works great! Video must be small for this to run on my i5-4570t.

Sorry for spamming here. I'am just exited right now. This must be my cleanest theme and blazing fast. Seems to scale nicely also.
