Is there anything left to do in this theme? If only the details view could get fixed, my setup would be perfect, especially with all the media packs you already released. Maybe one day Jason will get around to fixing it. Besides the odd fix,and revamping the whole thing to a 2.0 if Jason works on the details view...I will just be adding themes for more platforms until I have them mostly covered. I also have to make the videos for the new added platforms,and any future ones I add. After this next batch of videos is done though,I take a short break. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styphelus Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 "Short Break". LOL! You deserve a long break. You've done an amazing job. Thanks for all your hard work. You've made my setup 100x beter. I'm sure a lot of us here feel the same way. I don't know how you did all that in such a short period of time. Well done! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been updated from the previous method,and if you still have the version where you have to add marquees to the theme folder,i highly suggest you update it again to this new version. Is it possible to have the theme to look for a secondary image in the event the marquee folder doesnt have the needed image. I set clear logo as a backup just to try, they fit pretty well, but the default Arcade marquee bleeds through. Are the marquees set to completely cover the default and its actually there, just hidden behind the marquee logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was actually my first plan...and the default marquees are on the cabinet art (It's one picture). I have defaults that I use for my actual marquee monitor above my cabinet,that I was going to put on the cabinet pictures instead (like below),and have the clear logos in the center...but,that is a bit of work,and something for another update in the future.

ed20910 Posted November 6, 2018 Share Posted November 6, 2018 I am not much good with photo editing, I tried using paint (MAJOR FAIL) to cut out the default marquee but lost all transparency and nothing showed. Would it be possible to have a Arcade video border with just a plain grayish or transparent marquee background that the clear logo could show over. may not be a perfect solution but might work.

RetroHumanoid Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 honestly,getting the logos to show is the easy part...it's modifying the 65+ different arcade pictures that is the real work. Like I mentioned though,I plan on doing it at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I now realize you would have to do the same thing for every one of the cabinets in the video border folder. As someone said, you do great work so fast! ?

RetroHumanoid Posted November 6, 2018 Author Share Posted November 6, 2018 Arcade Theme 1.5.2 - Now displays Clear Logo when no Marquee is present Last update for this theme...i'm probably driving the average downloader nuts by now... 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenGriffon Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Any improvements are worth the minor effort of having to click a button to enjoy them. Great theme project, thanks for all your hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed20910 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Yeah, but the average downloader isnt as obsessed about tweaking as some are. its the joy of the hobby. one of these days we might actually get to play these games. lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stovies Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 @RetroHumanoid Cheers! This theme is awesome. I've never fully let go of the great feeling I had when I completed my first full Hyperspin build. My move to Launchbox has always felt like the right thing to do, but the build never felt 'fun' like my older Hyperspin build. Until now. You are the man! This theme rocks and it makes me smile every day 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styphelus Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Thanks, you're the best. I ended up figuring it out eventually. I've been spending a lot of time just flipping through my games with your theme. Everything just looks so good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroHumanoid Posted November 10, 2018 Author Share Posted November 10, 2018 For those that are interested...I added a Hacks video to the Platform Category set in the downloads section. It was a patreon request,but,I decided to make it public. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logos go in "Launchbox/Images/Platforms/(System Name)/Clear Logo/" or "Launchbox/Images/Playlists/(Playlist Name)/Clear Logo/" ...and follows the same naming rule.
