faeran Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 RetroMags - [Theme Workshop] View File RetroMags was built during a Theme Workshop live stream. If you are interested in creating themes, subscribe to the Unbroken Software YouTube channel. RetroMags A Big Box theme designed to look like the Retro Magazine's of old. The theme was designed using the COMMUNITY Theme Creator, along with some manual code changes in order to utilize the new wheel CoverFlow features not yet currently in the Theme Creator. This theme relies on 1 System Hardware graphic and 3 platform specific game graphics for each platform/playlist/category. I did not include a graphic for every platform out there. If people would like to help contribute platform specific graphics, PM me, or post in this thread and I'll add them to the main theme in a future update. Graphic locations: System Hardware: LaunchBox\Themes\RetroMags\Media\Console Images Graphic 1: LaunchBox\Themes\RetroMags\Media\Platform Image 1 Graphic 2: LaunchBox\Themes\RetroMags\Media\Platform Image 2 Graphic 3: LaunchBox\Themes\RetroMags\Media\Platform Image 3 Please note: The COMMUNITY Theme Creator Project Files are provided for you to learn. If you would like to publish the theme, it will be missing the Platform Wheel and the 2 Wall View wheels. These would have to be added back manually to the theme. They can be found in the theme files within their respective xaml files.

Really want to use this theme but looks strange on my ultrawide monitor. Thanks @thomsi. Tbh, I'm not entirely sure what it would take to convert it. It's probably a bit of work. You could always download the CTC files, load it up in the CTC and give it a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not made a theme myself so will be a bit of a learning curve. Where do I get the CTC files and what is the CTC program. Lol. Like I say will be a learning curve. 😅 You can start here with the CTC: The RetroMag Community Theme Creator files should be one of the download links when you download the theme from the forums here.
