What's the best way to share them? Would you be interested in adding them if they meet your expectations? I did them for my own setup, but if they're of any use I'd be happy to share them. I just don't want to tread on any toes. Send me a PM with some screenshots and I'll take a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonythewrench Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 First let me say I love the work you do...your themes are fantastic, adding the "wow factor" to my arcade cabinet! A question I have for you is...with this updated version I see the game titles on NES and SNES scroll horizontally when they are too long to fit on screen...but I recall the older versions resizing the text to fit instead...is there a way I can revert the game titles text to this older way?

For something like this, you would need to download the CTC files, load it up into the CTC, and alter those elements yourself. You would probably need to replace the title element in those two views with a Viewbox that has the title text inside of it. Something like that anyway.

Thank you for the quick and informative reply...once I get some extra free time I will definitely dabble with it...the theme is still fantastic as is 👍...I only asked out of curiosity of the possibilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St1x Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 This looks great but for some reason only my Atari St Platform image isn't showing correctly. I have the correct banner in the folder \LaunchBox\Themes\BannerBox\Images\Platforms\Banner named AtariST.png Anyone know how to fix?

AliMujahid20 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Hi! I love these themes. Just one question. How can I set the WiiWare theme for those games? This one: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example if your platform is named "Atari ST" you need the file to be named that as well not "AtariST". Also you'll want to clear out your image cache via the options menu. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This one: To be honest, it's possible I didn't port that one over with the new version of the theme. I would personally consider WiiWare games just a playlist of Nintendo Wii games. However, you could get the same kind of look by going to these following folders and making a copy of the Nintendo Wii.xaml files in both locations and giving them the name of your Nintendo WiiWare platform.

AncientCarthage Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Hi Faeran, I was wondering if you were planning on adding game views for Xbox 360 and PS3 in the future? Would love to see those systems integrated into Coverbox in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's essentially just a copy of the Wii theme, so it's easy enough to set up following my instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as an Android version... it's possible, but it would be extremely limiting. This theme was built with 16:9 aspect ratio in mind, and most Android devices don't conform to that. It would be a lot of work to get this theme ported over to Android, forcing a 16:9 aspect ratio. If I were to attempt to convert it to allow it to work in all the different aspect ratios and orientations required, it would most likely be insurmountable.

Oh, I was referring to Android as a platform as well as Xbox, SNES, GBA, etc, because there are Android emulators like Bluestacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This theme is not really made for that type of platform, since it's supposed to mimick a game's boxart, but it wouldn't be the first time I implemented something like that.
