Thanks and yes, I will provide the files of course, so everyone can make it look as they please.

More changes. I'm listening feedback, which layout looks best. Trying to keep on track and find the most balanced view for this crucial view. I think the latest is the best, but I may have blinded myself with the constant changes that I make.

More different layouts.

Wow, You are my codesigner. It seems you have some sharp eyes for designing. Your feedback really helps me to keep this theme as simple and clean as possible, so I don't stray away from the design. Thanks Dan!

Demo 2 with the suggested tweaks by @Dan Patrick

Great feedback! Will try those ideas in the next version. The danger of putting those extra info to the right is when you scale this view to 4:3. I will try to something out.

One of the hardest views to make responsive is the text games view. Tried my best to keep both versions balanced. I might try one version where the menu pops out after a few seconds to give the box art and video some more room to scale.

Sneak peak and proof on concept. Tested on my 4k tv and it looked good. 16:9 4:3 Demo of the animations

I'm preparing my swan song. Calling it PULSE. Taking all the good things from my previous themes and trying to squeeze those in one modern responsive theme, without the need of custom made banners. Will try to get this to work on older machines.

dirtyOld Banner Template (psb) View File Here's the Photoshop template for making banners to my dirtyOld theme. With this template you can make more playlist and platform banners.

With icons you mean banners? Big images with device and logo? You need to manually load and put the image in the right folder. I have provided the templates to make more banners. Unfortunately I don't have the time to add any new ones to it at the moment.

Not promising anything, My focus is right now on the dirtyOld Theme. When I have spare time I can make it, just don't hold your breath.

Hi, I think you need to make changes to the theme using the Community Theme Creator tool. You would need to remove the animations and the video.

Is the text size too small in the new version or you dislike the use of Roboto font? It should scale as it did in the previous version. I think I made the text size a bit smaller. I might make changes to the platform text-filter view (put the menu on the right and full height as it is in the text view for games). You can also try to modify the theme with the Community Creator Tool files that I have provided, so you can make your own tweaks to the theme as you please.

Thanks. Just updated the theme. Hope you like the new version also.

Going to make few changes to the theme. Trying to utilize the platform videos better. Here's a screenshot of platform text filter view with Viking's excellent nostalgia 4:3 video.

dirtyOld View File Here's my latest theme for BigBox. It's dark gray, clean, simple and flat. Similar to allNightLong. Hope you like it. This is the wide version designed for 16:9 and 16:10 screen aspects. 4:3 version is coming later.

Who wants to test this new theme? I need someone who has lot's of different platforms and also somebody with older system with lower specs.

Sorry, but not with the theme tool. It has very limited option for the wall view. In it's current state it is quite unusable view. Hopefully it will get some updates in the long run.

125 + fallback platform banners done And I'am not making anymore. Will upload the template when the time comes to publish this brainwreck. Here are the styles for playlists. Tried to add some variation between them, so they would not look the same.

Did some testing on my i5 4570T and had to remove the shadows from wheels and images. Now it's running smoothly. And as I promised, I'am currently making the 4:3 version manually. So there will be two versions. I need the 4:3 for my own retro rig.

Some finetuning with shadows and tone. Making new banners. Found a way to do it quite quickly. Still lot's of manual labor. Hope you like these, because I ain't doing this again.
