Thanks! I need few days to check that everything works as I intended. After that I will share templates and creator tool files.

Yeah, this is more or less a refined version of AllNightLong. There were few things I didn't like about my first theme, so I decided to make a new one. AllNightLong was for everyone and this one is for me.

No longer a tomb. Space images and cold colors pointed towards something else. So a little Alien reference came to my mind.

Theme is now available:

LV-101 View File LV-101 is dark, futuristic and responsive theme. Theme uses custom device and playlist images (download the psd templates from here). 108 devices are included in this package. Should work well with 16:10, 16:9, 4:3 and 5:4 ratios. Theme was designed to use box art, gameplay screenshot and gameplay video. If you want to make changes you can download the Community Creator Tool Files. For view transitions I recommend the vertical animation, it just feels right with this theme. Requires a powerful system to run smoothly. Tried it with i5-4570t and performance was horrible. AllNightLong works better on older systems. Theme contains: Platform Wheel 1 Platform Wheel 2 Text Filters View Text Games View Horizontal Wheel 1 Games View Horizontal Wheel 2 Games View So not a lot, but I didn't want to make this theme as huge as my previous theme. Less is more, or so they say. Credits: @y2guru for the COMMUNITY Theme Creator for BigBox @viking for the amazing platform videos.

Final screens. Now making more device images and one final test on my tv. After that I will publish this theme here. Really happy how this is responsive. 4:3 ratio works well. Also I'am going to chang the theme name to LV-101.

Sorry, You will have to mod this if you want the logo I like this when it's in motion. The background is still, only devices in the wheel.

One more and I think I will make few banners and test this out.

Like this... I think I will redo the platform wheel and add some color to the theme. So no more easy filters for banners that everyone can do. You will need Photoshop for these.

Thanks a lot! Didn't know about this page. Now I can make better looking banners ?

There were some problems on 4:3 screens. It's really hard to get those fixed and keep 16:9 ratio working also. The way elements are streched is troublesome especially with textfields and wheels. I'am currently making another theme called Mausoleum, which should work better on 4:3 screens also.

Who wants to test this piece of ...art? I will sent download link to those who are willing to test and report to me how wonderfulf and bug free this theme is.

Sorry, I decided to abandon this style. The dark filters made the images look too much alike and I'am now trying to make ones that are unique and easy to distinguish from one another. More color and interesting angles. Unfortunately I'am missing good quality device images at the moment.

New snaps from current version that I'am testing. Not going to make too many views, just focusing on few and trying to nail those. Decided to use plain photos in playlists and categories. The thing is that I will leave many of these blank, so everyone can use their own photos/images. I found few nice photos from unsplash.com.

1. Yep 2. Of course, I will share all the files. Currently trying to decide the platform/playlist banner styles. Need to keep them simple and looking good.

You mean a platform banner? Yes I could make one.

Thank you for the kind words. I now have this urge to perfect the clean responsive design that I'am after with the tools that are available. Have to make a lot of compromises, but I like the challenge.

Some new shots from the theme. Both 16:9 and 4:3 ratios seem to work fine. 16:9 ratio 4:3

I'am in the process of making one that works nicely on 4:3 screens. It's currently in testing phase. Trying to nail 16:9 and 4:3 ratios without too many compromises.

Good to hear! If you are interested, I'am making a new theme based on the AllNightLong called Mausoleum. Trying to make more versatile and responsive theme that works better for all platforms and screen sizes and give the theme a better flow. So if you could help me a bit and let me know what views are you mostly using in AllNightLong?

Progress. Few changes to the layouts. These screenshots are taken from a working demo. Funny how I want to make simple clean layouts, but in the building phase, I'am constantly trying to add more stuff and cram them into one view (carts, boxes, cd's, videos, screenshots ...). For some reason I'am trying to make a theme that suits everyone, when that isn't even possible. So for now on I'am just making a theme for myself. Still going to add it here for download, both the theme and the creation files. I think I like this better than my last theme (AllNightLong), which is a good sign.

More snaps. Game details/list view will have transition that brings the info on screen after couple of seconds, so you will have the "clean" view when scrolling through games. The box art will change to video also when the info pops in.
