  1. Wow, I have to say that I went through tons of themes and because of the customization this one clearly takes the cake. It is now my default theme. Did make a few small tweaks that I just thought that I would share. I have had all my "device" images added as banner images so I simply changed platformwheel3FiltersView.xaml to show it. Just scroll all the way to the bottom and look for <!-- Device Image --> Then look for the line <Image Name="CustomBannerIMG" and I changed the source= to {Binding Path=ActivePlatform.BannerImagePath} I also just changed the yellow text (just don't like yellow at all) to light blue (just search for yellow in any view and change it to lightblue or whatever color you want) Those as well as just changing the wallpaper made this into my perfect theme and is now my default. Btw, somebody mentioned adding the weather, dont do that. There is a plugin for it but I heard it adds a major lag to theme. Keep up the great work!
  2. I just wanted to share this quick tip which I found kind of essential, I haven't found it mentioned anywhere else on the LaunchBox forums... Anyone using RocketLauncher, replace the content of the LaunchBox plugin file under the RocketLauncher directory /plugins with the most recent one from this thread... http://www.rlauncher.com/forum/showthread.php?4961-Launchbox-plugin-not-pulling-media-correctly&goto=newpost This will make RocketLauncher use media with the -01 appended to the end which LaunchBox scrapes by default. The only issue of course like mentioned in that thread is that it doesn't scrape the localized folders (ie Japan, UK, Germany etc). It is very easy though just to move all content in those directories into the main one and LB will just use it normally anyway. I really only do it just for clear logos so that they display beautifully on my fade screen. Just hope this helps someone.
  3. Silver Ring Clear Logos - Rare Systems View File For my setup I have been using the silver ring clear logo set that was created by @viking, Probably the best logo pack there is. As detailed at as the pack is, I have a few custom and very rare systems that didn't have logos. So I made them. The full credit for the logos and the template are @viking and I hope it is ok to use them. You can see all the systems that are included in the screenshots. Once again, none of these are included in his pack and have not found any of these systems with logos already made. Custom Systems - All the rare systems that I have included And a few goodies... Arcade logos - These are a mainly arcade boards for those who perhaps like to split some systems off from MAME or who download arcade packs individually. Magazine Logos - I have these full catalogue of magazines in my collections. The magazines are in CBZ and I use Cdisplay through rocketlauncher to launch them beautifully. They are freely and legally distributed at places on the web, Google is your friend. Hacks Logos - These are the exact logos that @viking made but I added a hacks logo on them for those who like to have a seperate category for hacked games. If there are any issues posting these I will gladly remove them. The original PSD that these are based on can be downloaded from the original thread here but I have included my slightly modified PSD in certain packs that are changed. For example the hacks pack so that you can make any logo a "hacks" logo and the magazines pack has a custom background. As I add more systems to my collection, I will update this pack accordingly. Of course nothing will be duplicated if it was already created elsewhere or in the original pack. Hope someone can use them! Submitter Retro_Rage Submitted 03/12/2020 Category Platform Clear Logos

  5. Custom PC Banners View File Hey Guys! Been a long time "leacher" as I have been building my collection but figured since by collection is now filling up, Im going to start contributing to the community! For my platform banners in my setup, I have been using the device logos with the white background that can be found everywhere (used on Wikipedia and come up first on google for nearly every system). The only things that are missing are the banners for the categories that I have that dont have actual devices, mostly the "PC" category. I created these to fill the gap and I think they fit in pretty good. Ill update the pack if I create some more. You can just see the screenshot for the included platforms. I have also included the PSD if anyone wants to make there own, basically just change the system logo. I hope someone can find them useful! I have many more things to come.

    Hey everyone! This is the first time i'm sharing something so go easy on me Although I have been building my collection for a while and hopefully have many more things coming. I just threw together these platform logos for my own personal use and figured someone else might like them as well. They are based on a template that I found on picnic.com. Eventually I would like to make minor changes like change the blue with wallpaper like images for the corresponding image, If I decide to use them. I also included my PDN template (paint.net) if anyone wants to make any changes or anything. Enjoy!

  9. This is way cool and almost seems like it can be something that should be included in LB by default! The only thing that is really need to make it useful is some kind of batch updating. It is really pointless only updating one game at a time when you have a collection of 1000s. Once you are able to update tons of games in one go this plugin would be probably the most useful plugin available!
  10. Well I am still in the process of adding a lot of things but here are my stats. According to Launchbox im up to 25551 games in 192 systems. This isnt including around 1000 more in another 13 systems that I have on my hdd but havent added yet. I also had removed a few thousand more of the bigger and most recent systems because I began to run out of space.
