Thank you sir, I got it going. On to the Pause Theme! hahaha

Thx Retro, I almost got everything working. I was using an animated gif in it, but since switching to the Default Startup, editing it like I wanted, I can't get the animated gif to work any more. Been stuck on that for a while

Let me just rename one of the CD based files to default and start that way....thank you sir for replying, maybe I can figure it out that way

I been trying to use some of the code from the Default Startup. Use the Nintendo Wii.xaml in the Default Startup theme. I've tried adding the portions that I would think I would need, but that ain't worked. In the Nintendo Wii.xaml it has starting at line 16: <Storyboard x:Key="Load"> <!-- DISC ROTATE --> <DoubleAnimation Storyboard.TargetName="DiscImage" Do I change the TargetName= to my image file name, or use the "DiscImage"? I've tried just pasting the UserControl.Resources portion into my file above the Canvas and that doesn't work either. (Line 1-43)

I've got a decent looking startup theme about finished. What I am wanting to do is make one of the images expand and retract a little in size or maybe rotate real slow. Here is what I got: <Image Grid.Row="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="4" Source="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/StartupThemes/Fading Elegance/images/Star Burst.png" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center" Stretch="Uniform" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" Width="1000px" Margin="15" /> Is it something easy to do? I have been trying to whack up pieces of the Default one using a spinning disc, but can't figure it out.

Fading Elegance View File I have brought the Fading Elegance themes "up-to-date" to work better with the newer versions of Bigbox. Covers over 200 platforms and 60 common playlists. Other cosmetic changes and fixes Feature: Slow changing color background Feature: various fading in-and-out information areas Includes: over 300 custom made genre and play mode images (includes a PS template) Updated: added or replaced some badges, controllers and artwork. Updated Video: (12-04-23) Assets used in the video (already included in the SE version of the theme) Stephen with Reverb - Platform Audio Clips PSGC Commercials - video snaps (download separately) PSGC Genre & Play Mode Images Startup Video PSGC Quiet Sound Pack some custom made Playlist videos The reason I had called the theme "Fading Elegance" was that I went for an elegant look, sharp edges and straight lines and designed certain information sections to be displayed for a few seconds, then fade out while fading in something new. Like in the platform views, it may start showing an image of the platform device, it will fade out, as the maximum number of players will fade in. These will rotate between the two. You will see this throughout the themes with various types of information. They have a smooth, slowly color changing background and have most all the bells and whistles that are available. Just a heads up, the Fading Elegance themes are pretty resource hungry as there are some "behind the scenes" videos going on and all animations that are used. Feel free to give them a try on low end systems, if you have issues, you may be able to delete the audio clips and background videos to gain some improvement. - To activate LAN - add LAN as a new "Play Mode" for the desired game(s) - To activate ROM - add ROM as a new "Source" for the desired game(s) - To activate Karaoke - add Karaoke as a new "Genre" for the desired game(s) (bulk edit is easiest way to add new badges) If you would like to use the new badges in Launchbox, you will need to download the Badge pack. The SE version is being used in the video. The SE versions of my themes always have additional views and include Platform & Playlist audio clips. And of course, my supporters can change many of the assets by downloading them from the download section of my BMAC page. Listen to sample clips of the New voices Listen to sample clips with Reverb 380 Platform/Playlist Audio Clips (SE versions only) 215 Platform Devices Included: 65 Playlists Devices Included: 196 Conrollers/Keyboards Included: Requires BigBox Version 13 or above Assets used in theme: many COLORFUL Hardware PNG media for devices (thx @viking) Comments, reviews, questions and suggestions are always welcome!

@Retro808 Thank ya for replying and giving me the posts. Wow, been going on almost a month now, that ain't good, is it?

Are there any issues with uploading new BB themes. After a couple minutes, I keep getting an error -200. Everything else like the screenshots and stuff appear to be uploading. It never shows any progress in the progress bar either???? It is in the .zip format An hour later and many more attempts, same thing. I uploaded the 4k video for showing the theme (almost 1GB) to Youtube. Was slow going, but worked fine.

Fixed. Thx Jason

I have found something I just wanted to report, if it hadn't been already. (v12.0.3) If you are adding media data (in my case I was experimenting with Arcade), once it finishes downloading from LB database, it then switches to emumovies. This worked as expected. But if you close LB, it will not pick up where it left off with emu movies the next time you open it.
