You cannot edit the BigBox default themes though. These will not allow changes to ensure BigBox always has a valid running theme. You can copy the whole theme folder and name it anything you want then edit it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGiftOfGod Posted August 28, 2019 Author Share Posted August 28, 2019 Ok thanks i was looking for a simple way to edit it the themes keep one themes options settings menu and anothers actual big box interface for the rest of the view for example i was trying to use neon arcades options/settings menu with CoinOps interface for the rest i kind of have it partially working with some of the settings you guys have but what you just told me seems a little complex is this is my second day with premium and i love it has so much customization Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have to switch theme per platform but big box should remember each theme you've chosen per platform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. RetroLust Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Edit: Bigbox/options/keyboard mappings or controller buttons. Also be sure to check Bigbox/options/views to check "remember separate view for each platform" < I think thats what enables separate themes for each platform, not sure though.

You can however have the actual game lists for platforms use a different theme, but whatever you use as the platforms view will also be the options view. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro808 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 @Gplayjay21 To get what you want is possible. You would copy over images, fonts, and certin xamls from the Neon theme, then edit them to show the correct relative paths and a few other tweaks to keep the theme from breaking. It is possible, just will take some manipulation on the back end. Not something done in the UI. I did something similar with a couple themes.
