NEON DELUXE ARCADE - 16:9 ----------------------------------------------------- CREDITS Huge thanks goes out to @y2guru for his Community Theme Creator Software and his endless personal help, also he created the animated wheels for this theme! @Hexxxer for the original inspiration of his FutureState theme. @Rincewind for the inspiration on his use of the icons. @faeranfor explaining the new marquee options in v12. Thanks guys! ----------------------------------------------------- INSTALLATION 1. Download the theme here and place the folder in Launchbox/Themes/ 2. You might need to unblock the zip file or all the .DLL's in the plugin folder. Right click the zip or DLL files, choose properties and at the bottom you click "Unblock". 3. I recommend doing the following to speed up Big Box greatly: - Uncheck all Background Images in Launchbox > Tools > Options > Media > Background Priorities - Set all transitions to "None" in BigBox settings - Use the Clean Up media tool in launchbox/tools/Clean Up Media... (this can really speed up lists with thousands of games and duplicate media) - Defrag the drive that holds your media files Hope you like and enjoy! ? ----------------------------------------------------- LINKS Neon Deluxe Arcade is a series of themes and elements, if you like you can download these to accompany the complete theme, visit this page to see all my other work: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/profile/88501-mr-retrolust/content/?type=downloads_file Arcade stick and buttons sound pack, sounds really good with this theme: Submitter Mr. RetroLust Submitted 03/01/2020 Category Custom Themes Edited September 29, 2023 by Mr. RetroLust 3 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hvitson Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Loving it so far Maybe if i'd want to improve a thing or two, the horizontal views for the games are amazing but the pointer is a bit clunky with some logos, maybe it would be better to put it under the logos instead of around them? Like a shorter neon one just pointing at the logo ! Also the choice for this kind of horizontal view would be amazing for the platforms too ! Another one would be with the first vertical wheel for the games: it could maybe have the ratings/region/year/playmode/genre/developer/publisher on the left even if it means less space for the description (it can still scroll though) so this way when the game has no description or a small one, the left part doesn't look empty ! And you still have a big clean video on the right ! I don't know if it's possible to fit that many information on the left but at least the ratings and some informations like the previous version ! That's only my personal preferences and the theme is already great so it's only some suggestions Keep up the good work you are the best ! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the compliments and suggestions man Funny I think the same about the horizontal pointer, it doesnt feel just right. I still have to play with the logo layout in horizontal views as well as they are too close together. For the other suggestions I can make something manual for you if you need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atbc Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Excellent, thanks for sharing this work, I am using it right now and it looks great. The only problem I have is that I can't use it in Spanish since it doesn't work. Hopefully it will be solved sometime. Thank you!. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dingo Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 I'm working in a plataform video project for my cabinet using this theme for bigbox. I'm working with the default EM plataform videos in 4x3, appling some effects to resamble old crt tvs and using the bezels from @Mr. RetroLustcollection. I'm still in doubt if a 4x3 or a 16x9 aspect ratio fits better for this theme. I'm puting a link with two samples and I would love the receive some suggestions. Thank you! https://1drv.ms/u/s!AsuPG_t4-2LNh6Rd8J_eH31jFAMlDA?e=Bbi5nX 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerSchlachter Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I like this theme a lot, its great. My "coding skills" are very low. In my mind is an idea for the wheel text view. Is it possible to add a few grafics like in the Picture? Change the Text Arcade to the grafics, example: thx for Discussion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiperCalls Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Wow, I tried this theme previously and it was too sluggish on my rig. I dl'd the final version and it is beautiful and peppy. I'm switching over to this theme permanently! Great work!! One issue I have is that the category, platform & playlist clearlogos are for some reason super zoomed/expanded...they are all ram-jammed on top of each other. When I get to the gamelists, the clearlogos are spaced correctly. Any ideas? Thanks...Piper PS: i'm in 4K rez if that matters. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. RetroLust Posted July 7, 2020 Author Share Posted July 7, 2020 1.4 - Vertical wheels in game and platform have been adjusted slightly so they zoom in more once in the selector arrow and slightly more space between logo's. - Vertical logo issue @PiperCalls : If you use logo's which have more height than width (vertical logo's) please add blank space to the sides in the images in order for them to appear in the selector as the horizontal logo's do, there is no fix for this in BigBox theming itself yet.
