I don't have any game specific backgrounds as of right now so right now the game selection view inside playlists show the fanart for the parent platform. This wouldn't be too hard, when I have some time, I could PM you a way to do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about 10-15 themes installed within launchbox, but this is the one I use the absolute most? It would be great to use Viking's platform videos in the background Sure, I can do this. Which view are you wanting the background platform videos implemented in? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, if that's possible?

Here's how you can install it: Download this plugin, developed by Eatkinola. Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_8.dll Make sure to unblock the pulgin, you can find instructions for that here: Place the file in the RetroFresh plugins folder: LaunchBox\Themes\RetroFresh\Plugins Now, Download the TextGamesView.xaml file, and place it in the following folder (be sure to overwrite): LaunchBox\Themes\RetroFresh\Views TextGamesView.xaml 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake612 Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 How to I get Images to appear for the consoles? All my console images are blank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faeran Posted October 18, 2018 Author Share Posted October 18, 2018 Hi @Jake612. Try: LaunchBox\Images\Platforms\{platform}\Fanart\ Where {platform} is the name of a specific platform. example for NES: LaunchBox\Images\Platform\Nintendo Entertainment System\Fanart\Nintendo-Entertainment-System.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake612 Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Thanks for the response. I got it to work by going to launch box app/tools/download platform theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCJ101 Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 What are your thoughts on a revision that either removes the cells (boxes) that contain the images and text. Or maybe round the edges of the cells to give it a more modern look? I love this theme, but the cells seem a bit too harsh, if that makes sense.

I will be looking at getting this theme to officially support the changes made during the 9.4 update. I may look into a slight design change when I do. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kriscraigs Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I absolutely LOVE this theme for my arcade-only 4:3 CRT cab. One question though, as I'm a bit of a noob on this stuff. I love the view with the logos in the vertical wheel on the left and the big video playing of the game in the main area. Is there a way for me to customize this so that underneath, I can list Game Details? Specifically, I like to see the play count and last played as an example. Maybe there is a way to set this in options but if so I couldn't find it. Thank you again for creating such an awesome theme!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to do something like that would be to edit the XAML and add that code to the view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthWHAT Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Does anyone know where to get the platform videos for this theme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbbox Posted December 3, 2019 Share Posted December 3, 2019 (edited) Hi. Really like the theme (detailed version) but I don't see any platform videos and Neo Geo, Sony Playstation and NEC TurboGrfx -16 logos are missing (I just get plain white text when scrolling through platforms). Platform videos don't display in other themes either. Do I need to download them separately as there is nothing in the LB-Themes--Videos-Platform folder? The platforms with the missing logos are names as above. Can anyone help? Thanks Edited December 3, 2019 by mcbbox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up. Is there a good source of platform videos you can point me in the direction of please? As most logos are working I assume I must have them stored locally somewhere and maybe there is a naming issue.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
