INTRO: In a dark alley lit by black light and neon, an arcade resides; Neon Deluxe Arcade. Neon Deluxe Arcade is a series of themes, if you like you can download these to accompany the complete theme: Neon Deluxe Arcade - Badges Neon Deluxe Arcade - Big Box Theme Neon Deluxe Arcade - Launchbox Theme Neon Deluxe Arcade - Startup Theme (Street) Neon Deluxe Arcade - Startup Theme (Inside) Mr. RetroLust's Realistic Retroarch Bezels (Same style > Dimmed lit retro gaming) Mr. RetroLust's - Mame 4K - Lights Out - Realistic Bezels (Same style > Dimmed lit retro gaming) CREDITS: Huge Thanks to @Grila for the inspiration and his permission and kindness to use his codes for especially the left sidebar and more from his LBPlex Launchbox Theme. Also huge thanks to @Rincewind for the inspiration and his permission and kindness to use his code of the Rincewind Launchbox Theme for full screen background images. I couldn't have made it as it is without you guys! Thanks to @C-Beats for adding the steam achievements to the theme, and the code for clear logos! Thanks to @faeran for the tip about video background transparency and the coding for the play time tracker. @Retro808 for the filters code, thanks man! FEATURES: More than I can mention, you just have to see it in action, one thing I can mention is that it features a bright green and slightly larger cache progress bar so you can't miss it when it's working to make a smooth experience INSTALLATION: Extract folder "Neon Deluxe Arcade LB" to Launchbox/LBThemes. Open Launchbox, go to Tools/Options/(Leftside bar) Visuals/Choose the theme in the dropdown bar. Tip: Tools/Options/Theme/Colors > Choose "Midnight Blue" for anything that was not possible to color change in Launchbox theming. Important: This theme does not use fanart or platform backgrounds but a static 4K quality background, there are 7 backgrounds to choose from in the separate download, the image you want to display should be named "Background-01.jpg" and overwritten in \LBThemes\Neon Deluxe Arcade LB\Images. In order to get it working as you see in the screenshots please set your background settings to: Hope you enjoy, have fun brothers!

dunnster Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Hi looks great I have downloaded the 3 zip files installed the 2 fonts and carried out the below to the letter (i think), INSTALLATION: Install both the fonts located in "Fonts.zip" by double clicking each and choose install. Extract folder "Neon Deluxe Arcade LB" to Launchbox/LBThemes. Open Launchbox, go to Tools/Options/(Leftside bar) Visuals/Choose the theme in the dropdown bar. Tip: Tools/Options/Theme/Colors > Choose "Midnight Blue" for anything that was not possible to color change in Launchbox theming. So, I get no background image (i have renamed to jpg.01 the one i want and set the background as advised above) also i get no NEON writing top left of screen, although my menu is in correct font. I have tried for an hour but still can not seem to get to work, any help greatly appreciated folks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The file name should not be jpg.01 it should be -01.jpg. So it would look like Background-01.jpg 2. In Launchbox go to Tolls>Options> then Under Images look for Default Background and make sure you do no have the background fade slid all the way up.

Retro808 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 I meant what your Launchbox screen looks like showing no background image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgarath Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Judging by the picture of your folder it looks like your background picture is named Background-01.jpg.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunnster Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Hi Belgarth, thanks for the reply I've checked and only have .jpg on once as far as I can see (unless you see differently on the first picture), thought this was what I was to do unless I've done wrong it wrong? and its staring me in the face?

Belgarath Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Your extensions are hidden, so all your files are named .jpg at the end but you can't see them, and so when you renamed the first background it became Background-01.jpg.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunnster Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Ahh makes perfect sense now, thanks for explaining, now understand. And again thanks for the help , i really do appreciate it ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W4rCh1ld Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) Hi ive been using this fantasic theme for a good while now (as its nicer than the now "old" theme)... but there'in lies my question is this now going to get an update for the launchbox 10.8 release, as now the new box art without borders and the Retro Score button has pulled me back onto the new standard theme, but i miss the nice looks of the neon arcade, it is possible to simply update this theme to use these new features? Thanks. Edited January 7, 2020 by W4rCh1ld 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Thanks, glad you like it I'll have a look soon to see what needs to be updated to make the Retro score available in this theme. I'm not sure if i'll add the box art style of the new theme though, that part is just the style of the new theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
