SkyHighGam3r Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 I've got LaunchBox (BigBox) setup on my CRT TV running at 640x480. The default resizing works ok, but it's painfully clear that it's expecting a wider aspect ratio. Are there any themes made with this low, 4:3, resolution in mind?

Lordmonkus Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Just a couple I found with a quick skim through the BigBox Theme downloads page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyHighGam3r Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 The Neon one is along the right lines, but a bit over-done for my personal tastes. The CRTFlux seems like it's trying to mimic a CRT rather than run on one. I appreciate you sharing them. I flipped through the downloads page on the site, but I didn't see much. I'm honestly surprised more people aren't using this kind of setup. Is there a way I can edit the default theme? Maybe that would be more appropriate. I'm not sure how I'd go about making one. I used to use HyperTheme several years ago, or would manually edit the files for HyperSpin to re-arrange things on-screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Yeah you can make your own new theme using the default as a base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello SkyHighGam3r, what a name I did release this theme some month ago. I do have a arcade cabinet with old CRT tv...not even sure it is 640 x 480 . So I built this theme by increasing everything i can ... specially FONT and Wheel ... I also include the source code, so you can start from there...Up to you. To be honest, i didn't found any of the theme with big test font. Some can fit in 4:3 but then, all text , like description of the game are unreadable with old TV...

albert666 Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Here is my modified theme from the original Bar Top theme. It is adapted to 4: 3 CRT screens. Both the covers and the titles of the games look much better and larger adapted to this type of format. BarTop CRT modified.rar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
