More of the same, but with different color scheme. Will try this out and if it's good, I will publish it.

Had to make more changes and give this theme more unique look compared to my other themes.

Seems to be coming along nicely! Looking forward to the release

Never ending story with my designs. Now I really think I'am close. Wanted some dirt and modern look. Had to change the fonts. Removed the menu background and darkened the background gradient instead.

I really like this ! Can't wait to test it.

More views before I start building this with the Community Creator Tool.

Here are some screenshots of an actual working theme. Testing how the background images work and show. I may adjust the dirt overlay graphics some more.

Almost there, "only" one platform view to do + dozens of platform banners I will also do a separate 4:3 theme from this, because I need it for my retromachine.

Latest changes. Removed the bars and simplified even more.

Here's a preview of the theme. Still need to make lot's of banners.

Some finetuning with shadows and tone.

Making new banners. Found a way to do it quite quickly. Still lot's of manual labor. Hope you like these, because I ain't doing this again.

This is looking really great! Love the animations! That really adds a lot of polish to it. I also like the circles for the rating. That muted texture effect for the backgrounds is really well done. I can't wait to try this one! Looks like one of the best themes yet! Thanks for your hard work on this.

Did some testing on my i5 4570T and had to remove the shadows from wheels and images. Now it's running smoothly. And as I promised, I'am currently making the 4:3 version manually. So there will be two versions. I need the 4:3 for my own retro rig.

These banners look great! Nice and simple. I like the images you're using for the hardware there. It's looking really dope!

[Zeno]

Gorgeous stuff! Great work as always - can't want to try it out.

125 + fallback platform banners done And I'am not making anymore. Will upload the template when the time comes to publish this brainwreck. Here are the styles for playlists. Tried to add some variation between them, so they would not look the same.

I'd kill for a wall view in big box (just like Launchbox displays them)... isn't possible to do a clean/customized version of that?

Sorry, but not with the theme tool. It has very limited option for the wall view. In it's current state it is quite unusable view. Hopefully it will get some updates in the long run.

First comment was bad

Who wants to test this new theme? I need someone who has lot's of different platforms and also somebody with older system with lower specs.

Sure, count me in! I'm not sure if my system qualifies as "old" but I built it about 5 years ago. And I have about 50 or so platforms set up within LaunchBox/BigBox

Would like to test too. System is about 5-6 years old.
