Thanks for fixing the vertical clearlogo issue so quickly. I dl'd 1.4 and was still having issues but worked around it. I think BB doesn't know what to do with vertical (or round in my case) clearlogos. It was still blowing them up really bad but they weren't as fuzzy looking with 1.4. I did some tweaking on the logos and got them to look right. My logos were 600x600....I scaled them down to 400x400 and then expanding the canvas (transparent) to 600x400 and this did the trick. I think BB just wants to see horizontal shaped clearlogos lol. Thanks...Piper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll attach a picture. Usually it has the font called Kimberley.otf displayed here (see 2nd image attached). Is this an error or on purpose? Where would i go to change this in the xml files? Thats a known issue, I'll have to look into it some day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. RetroLust Posted July 19, 2020 Author Share Posted July 19, 2020 What's New in Version 1.5 Released Just now - More consistent look of selector images and fonts in menu's and text lists - Wheel3gamesview, Textgamesview and game details view now has the arcade cabinet showing as it was intended to for a long time, if no arcade cabinet exists it will fall back to box back images, so no need to fiddle with image priorities anymore to show the arcade cabinet in place. All thanks to @y2guru for his new visibility condition options in the new community theme creator v. 1.0.8.0 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gangor Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Ok, this works now. Not sure that I saw the dll blocked windows, so I reinstalled Neon, received the blocked prompt, un-blocked the dll's and it worked. I'm using the 4:3 currently with a crazy old monitor and it looks great, can't wait until I purchase a new monitor for the cabinet and switch to the 16:9. Great work and thanks for the prompt response. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePezCollector Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) I've copied the zip into the Themes folder extracted it there into its folder, I have unblocked the 3 .DLL files in the Plug ins folder. When I run Big Box, the theme shows up in Manage Themes and when I select it to Apply As Main Theme, it says it has been applied. It says it was successful, but the theme never runs. What am I missing? Edited November 24, 2020 by ThePezCollector Correction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What am I missing? Thats strange, did you install the theme in launchbox/Themes not launchbox/LBThemes? Maybe try to unblock the zip file itself instead of only the DLL's? Is the name of the folder either "Neon Deluxe Arcade Final" or "Neon Deluxe Arcade Final - Alt Views" depending which version you use?

They were in the proper Theme folder but when uncompressing, the directory structure was another level deeper than it should have been. Thanks for the reply, it made look at it a bit closer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginsonic Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 FIrst, thanks a lot for the great theme, Mr. RetroLust! I have one question regarding the wheel: In this theme it fades out after a short time, is there any possibility to keep it displayed or show it a few seconds longer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xyz0n Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 (edited) I am in love with this theme, it is spectacular, but there is one thing I do not like, is it possible not far to disappear the selection arrow of the game platforms? it would be nice if the selection arrow always remained in evidence. Thank you edit I have now seen that "alternate views" is recommended but is it another theme? do i have an option within the theme? I forgot, I have the 4: 3 version, does it change anything?
