faeran Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Retrotastic [Theme Stream] View File Retrotastic was built during a Theme Stream broadcast. If you are interested in creating themes, follow me on Twitch, or watch the videos later on YouTube. A Catalog of past Theme Streams can be found on the forums here: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/54760-retro-faerans-theme-stream-big-box-theme-creation/ This theme only works on version 10.15 and above due to its reliance on some new bindings! Retrotastic I recreated my Retrotastic theme in the theme creator. This was an ambitious project, but one that was well worth it. It still has all the fun of the original theme, with over 150 platform specific backgrounds and a plethora of game specific backgrounds and graphics to play around with. This brings the theme up to a new, modern standard that includes many performance benefits. I also managed to tweak the views here and there to make the theme snappier. Please enjoy this new version, along with the COMMUNITY Theme Creator project files for you to play around with and create your own version of my theme.

Xirvet Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 What an update, that gives me the motivation to get a first pack of backgrounds out soon (I made hundreds of em so prepare for backgrounds galore). My only complain though is that it seems like gif assets no longer work and it's a shame since some of my work relies on gifs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, btw, the icon issue I had mentionned previously is no longer an issue anymore in this version. Oh and consider this image a teaser of what's to come when I eventually upload my stuff. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratcher Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 ok wow, over 1 GB, I didn't expect that ? I am very happy that you have decided to share this. I took a quick look inside that pack and I can allready tell that I will replace on my personal Bigbox setup some of my backgrounds with yours. Awesome work!
