peerluk Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Well we need more info then that@johnnyskullhead in order to help you. Extract the zip file to a folder. Move that folder to the theme folder of your launchbox installation. Do not change the name of the folder. That's pretty much it. After that make sure you select the theme in the options. Hope it helps because it's that simple really n) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eatkinola Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Okay, let's take a step back: 1. Does BigBox start up okay for you? 2. Can you use the pre-installed default theme? 3. Can you use CriticalCid's theme, also pre-installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyskullhead Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Big Box starts fine I can do some tweaks not sure what default theme should look like ? I will try CriticalCids does that include video ? Thanks Again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatkinola Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 There is a demo video on the criticalcid download page. You shouldn't have to actually download the criticalcid theme as it is bundled with BigBox. When you say video, do you mean video snaps of games or platform videos? The platform videos can be downloaded from within LaunchBox. Game video snaps can be downloaded from emumovies, for which you need a subscription. You can also find and download some game video snaps in the LaunchBox forums. Basically, themes specify how your game info is displayed. The themes do not generally supply a lot of media such as images or videos; you have to supply those yourself. Can you post a screenshot of what your install of BigBox looks like when running?

eatkinola Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Great, glad you got it. The arcade lists are something I've not yet tried. May I suggest a forum search? I'd imagine a video would come out about that soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
