@faeran i'm getting the same error as mentioned above, right after I select a system (Atari 2600, NES, etc.)

Same here, but i see the issue. 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

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

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.

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.

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;)
