Sdentau92 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I tried to use this theme but it gives me an error when I enter the list of games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is looking in Launchbox/Themes/Retrotastic Lite/Images/Loading/Loading.png. The theme is named Retrotastic, not Retrotastic Lite, so the path is wrong. Renaming the theme to that breaks everything else so the .xaml will need to be edited to the correct theme name @faeran 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sdentau92 Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 (edited) Yes, the error is in RetrotasticLoading.xaml I managed to try the theme. I want to congratulate. You did an incredible job. I really like the animations. Thank you! Edited September 10, 2018 by Sdentau92 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faeran Posted September 10, 2018 Author Share Posted September 10, 2018 Guess I shouldn't go to sleep just before releasing a theme. Thanks guys for the troubleshooting. I've uploaded a new version of the theme with the fix, and for people that have already downloaded the theme and don't want to download it again, place this file in the below path: RetrotasticLoading.xaml LaunchBox\Themes\Retrotastic\Styles 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alnyden Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Wow, this theme is truly spectacular. I'm not sure I was able to appreciate the artwork until I saw it running on my system. Each platform is detailed and beautiful. Giving each system a different background in the platform view really takes things to another level. Well done! There's only one problem. Now I'm going to want to obsessively create backgrounds for each and every playlist but I have no time or skill. Seriously though, is there software other than photoshop that can manipulate these files? And can you recommend any simple tutorials that might be helpful? Again, congrats on this theme, it's absolutely amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, congrats on this theme, it's absolutely amazing. Thanks a lot @alnyden. I'm sure GIMP would be able to edit those template files as well, but I have not tested that. Some basic skills in either of those programs would be somewhat required. If people do create a Platform/Playlist or Game specific background, I do encourage to post them in this thread. I'll be using the top post to showcase them in an easy to access area for people to easily pick and choose which ones they would like to add to their collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scratcher Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Here are some Game Backgrounds and Game Graphics. They are a mix of Hyperspin Theme Artwork and Pics I found with a quick Google search. I did use Paint.net with a Photoshop PSD FileType Plugin to make the backgrounds. Those where slapt together in a few minutes so someone else with good editing skills can probably come up with backgrounds that are far better than this 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
