MatticusFinch1820 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 (edited) This theme is exactly what I have always wanted! I love the TV and the console set up with the clutter of mags and such. This is going to be my main theme when its finished. Amazing work!!! One question though, how do you get the platform videos to play on the main menu in the TV? I hear the video but the TV is blank.

salyangel Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 amazing good idea theme, if you could do for all my system I'll adopt your theme. Just the scanline on game is not very good for me. It's hard to see the vidéo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatticusFinch1820 Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 (edited) I agree with the above. The scanlines are a tad dark. Also any way to add different TVs to match the time period of the platform? (Kinda like Vikings videos). Also, in the arcade section game list, instead of showing the arcade game in a TV, maybe have an arcade monitor? and for the handhelds, maybe have a handheld on the desk playing the video instead of a TV there. Just some friendly suggestions. This theme is going to be the best one on here when its done i just know it!

ALIE Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 It is awesome I hope like Viking you might be interested in covering the less popular & odd systems. The idea above with more morden TV for newer console does make sense. One note suggestion when selecting the arcade system it becomes a TV. Could it not do like a close up view of the arcade machine I think it could be a cool detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
salyangel Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I use Critical zone theme because it's easy to create a new system.

skainlurmis Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Hey everyone, thanks for all the feedback. Ive been taking a little break for the holidays ..(my job has me in front of a computer all day as it is) But hopefully i can get back in there and add some more to it. As per some folks having problems with the videos not playing,I'm still not sure why its doing that. If anyone wants to see those posts earlier in this thread and dig in there to see if they can fix it, feel free. Thanks for your interest and hopefully I can have some updates soon. Peace! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vice350z Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 saw the video and really like how it looks. Installed it, selected it but I still see the default looking theme when looking in Platform mode. Platforms to the left, recents at the bottom, details to the right and only see the TV with retro platforms stuff around it in the little place for it at the top middle portion of the screen. Not sure what I'm doing wrong that its not taking up the full screen with platform logos to the right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vice350z Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I figured it out...have to have it on the correct View. I mapped my K key to change views while in Big Box and was easily able to switch views till it showed up correctly. Love this theme. Is there any chance the template could be shared if we wanted to edit the image with say our own mags/cart choices and the such? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skainlurmis Posted January 9, 2017 Author Share Posted January 9, 2017 Awesome! I'm glad it's working, I hope that could potentially help some of the other folks having problems. As far as the template, absolutely! I built to photoshop file so it could (hopefully) be pretty editable.I'll take a look at it tonight or tomorrow and clean it up so I can be uploaded.

Don't mean any disrespect asking for the template. I love what you did already and probably wont change anything but I like to tinker with things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vice350z Posted January 10, 2017 Share Posted January 10, 2017 (edited) another question...new to LaunchBox and like i said I like to tinker with things...are we allowed to change stuff with a user's created theme? I like your theme but was just messing around with making it a "bedroom" theme instead of arcade theme and changing the room around for each decade. Messed around with an 80's room for the NES...very rough but just wanted an idea of what it could look like.

skainlurmis Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 OOOOOHHHH I Love that!!! That's great! I don't know about other creators or if there is a general rule about that, but I personally am fine with that. My big thing is if you did come out with something, that you just mention "this was based on ..." or just some form of credit. Otherwise please, go crazy. I'll get some template files up today and I'm going to start trying to address some of the suggestions above. I'm just glad you like it! @stephy This may be a really stupid question, but have you switched views at all? I only implemented the one view, but I believe as "default views" go it might be the second or third, so you would have to scroll through them. Here are my personal settings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skainlurmis Posted January 10, 2017 Author Share Posted January 10, 2017 Also, ..so that's a ....pretty insane list of platforms up top, any suggestions on what I should tackle first? What is everyone looking for the most and then maybe in the future I can start getting to the more obscure stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never expect all to be covered but I can hope anyway I do think just start with the more common systems that you don't have. Can't remember what is in and what isn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cool to be able to have the arcade theme for the arcade systems and then have these bedroom themes for the consoles which each console having the TV of its era and posters of its era in there. What an amazing theme if that could be done like above! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
