Hi @Nyny77

Depending on the View you have to change it in multiple files.

Wheel2GamesView.xaml (for the Vertical Wheel View with fullscreen game video themes)

TwoColumnGameDetailsView.xaml (for the CoverFlow with Details View)

GameDetailsView.xaml (for all other Games Views)

FilterDetailsView.xaml (for the platform views)

 

Search for the Lines with


<GradientStop Color=

and change the colorcode to your likings. Keep in mind that there are often 2 values because it's a color gradient.

That’s a Vertical View ;)

Yeah I know, not much that I can do except making the glass bar larger. But I honestly don’t want to do that. My compromise/reference was to make it so big that “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time” fits in without being cut off.

 

Could you implement a scroll back and forth for those long names? The RetroArch menu does this for strings in the paths menu for example.

Cid great theme. I am having an issue with not getting any video playback on the first two wheels views. I am using 1.3 and latest beta from today, nothing has been renamed. Video below explains it better.

You have background videos activated but unfortunately you have to disable them in order to get the videos to work for these two views.

I should better force disable that in the theme settings. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. :)

Yep that was it. Thanks for the quick reply. What transition settings should I be using? I have videos set to fade but I am still getting rotation on videos.

That VHS distortion effect annoys the crap out of me after a while but besides that: Great job :)

Different strokes for different folks but I am a sucker for anything 80's and shitty :D

My contribution to the theme. Custom retro 80's background complete with shitty VHS tracking. I call it The Grid.

 

This background reminds me of a short film called kung fury :) both that background and the short film are awesome

Funny because that is an inspiration for a lot of my new retro stuff.

I see you like those blue/violet 80's style ;)

Have you made these background videos yourself?

Some stuff I make from scratch, some are heavily edited. I used to make intro videos for Hyperspin so I have a ton of materials just sitting around that has never been used and can easily be re purposed. I retired from the Hyperspin intro scene a long time ago when my work was being ripped off and sold with premade Hyperspin drives by some ass hat on youtube, who also threatened to sue me. After that I removed all my work and pretty much quit the front end scene until Launchbox/BigBox really came on the scene.

That’s awesome! I’m glad that LaunchBox has achieved to bring back again such a talented video creator like you to the FrontEnd scene!

Definitely keep those videos coming, I’m really enjoying them. Maybe we could even make some “official” color variants of my theme with your videos ;)
