BigBox User Created Theme Mega-Thread! [Share your custom made themes]


Recommended Posts

I know what you made is a temp thing and there is most likely going to be a lot more advancements, but it certainly is a clever idea. Nice to see something along the lines of themes running inside BB (a proof of concept if you will) Also, on a side note...any chance someone can let me know if it is possible to have the wheel/game jump to a different one after a certain amount of time as opposed to staying on one game and playing the same video over? Like an auto rotating attract mode... Thank you in advance for any help! I will be sure to let friends know about LB & BB as they will certainly be interested! Smile

Thank you ^ alexis524 I noticed I have become a big fan of a cleaner look and really almost prefer them over a flashy theme lately...but I will still switch between themes if/when they come ( = I just ripped my DL and Space Ace blurays for use with Daphne after a lot of trial and error. I am waiting on my DL2 bluray to arrive so I can add that in....and the conversions look great! Anyways, I just configured Daphne in BB last night and started to create a couple alternate looks which I am still playing around with. http://i65.tinypic.com/2058rns.png http://i66.tinypic.com/2i14lu.png http://i64.tinypic.com/ws4uv8.png http://i66.tinypic.com/106kjtv.png http://i63.tinypic.com/54sl1l.png

Very nice again. Thanks for more screens. I've yet to really sit down and play with the new features. Real life has been getting in the way these past weeks but it's user content like yours and others that have popped up recently that give me the motivation to carve some time out.

Sonic the Hedgehog Theme I made: I had an idea to try and make a theme for my Genesis system that I could use on all my games. After toying around in Gimp (I have my photoshop on a different pc) I ended up putting together a Sonic the Hedgehog theme with a tv in the spot where all the videos play. I have a picture of 2 different variations, one bright with no text and one dim with the game description. As you know we can alter a lot of options such as the view type etc. I placed Sonic where the game text should always be below his feet while using this view type. Right now I have it applied as a universal theme for all my Genesis games and they all display in the tv set fine. Does anyone like this? Anybody think I should upload a template type file so we can just keep the tv in the spot and make other themes for individual games, use it to apply different tv sets, arcade cabs in the correct area etc etc. Thanks for any input! Please excuse the box art as I have to replace it with a higher resolution one Smile http://i68.tinypic.com/ejzvaa.png http://i67.tinypic.com/iom7ua.png

Thank you all! Looking great. I'm finally back from vacation today. Hooray! Had a great time but glad to be back. So I'm planning to put out a video tomorrow and put it in this week's email to showcase some of these themes you guys have created. If I can get everyone's permission and also either a video of the theme or a way to easily download and get the theme running, that would be awesome. That way I can put them all in one video and showcase them for the email. I'll put your forum names up with them too, of course (and hopefully where to download them). Thank you all! @Awaken Jenova @kerszr @niglurion @CriticalCid

Of course you have my permission @Jason, for my BB theme and my recorded HS themes as well (I don't know if I would have any right to claim them as my own work anyway). Also I really hope for a separated video folder for the theme videos in the future, so that it doesn’t break the gameplay video for other views :)
