Retro808 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Pulse Pause View File User requested a Startup, Pause, and Shutdown theme to compliment the Pulse BigBox theme. So I decided to see how close I could get to the great design of that theme made by Juketsu. I am not a skilled or seasoned coder, more of a scratch type coder so behind the scenes may not be the prettiest. This was fun seeing how much of the BB theme I could decipher. Since the BB theme was done using the Community Theme Creator and that program uses some custom plugins I had to get creative to replicate some items. The Pause theme was modeled after Pulse's TextGamesView since a menu is needed. Overall layout, metadata, and some animations are all there from the BB theme. Only creative difference I took was using a red heart for the favorites logo. The BB theme uses the same blue star as the user rating. Installation: Download zip file and be sure to unblock the zip. Simply place the PulsePause folder inside your \LaunchBox\PauseThemes\ folder (Do NOT rename the folder). Credit(s): @Juketsu Pulse theme is his original design. The Pause theme uses his design and artwork. NOTES: 1. This theme will stay up until Juketsu releases his version. If he is planning to do one. 2. The menu, depending on how many items you have, may seem like there is a lot of space. Unfortunately that is the way it is. The more items you have the more the space fills are you can see in some pics. I plan a different layout for this, but for now this is the look it has. 3. Theme was only tested on a 16:9 and 4:3 aspect monitor. Submitter Retro808 Submitted 11/23/2021 Category Pause Themes 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prestonjezek Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 How did you create this? Did you use the Community Theme Creator? I cant find anywhere on the internet that shows how to create Pause Themes in that application or how to create Pause Themes Period. I love your theme but I would like to add a picture of the controls to it for each game that I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 The CTC cannot make Pause or Startups yet. Y2guru did say some day down the line I believe he will add. This was made by good ole manual coding is Visual Studios/Notepad ++. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockovissi Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 For some reason, my pause menu doesn't look like the ones in the pictures. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! I think that is the default, my guess you unzipped the theme wrong and there is another folder in your theme folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seymour Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) Hi! In the example images the menu shows additional items like "Move list" , "Cheat Codes", "Strategy Guide", "Nintendo Power". How the extra files should be added in order to add these extra options in the pause menu? I've tried adding several pdfs to a game as "Additional Apps" but it doesn't work. Thanks in advance!

That's exactly how it should work. Right click and edit a game. In the additional apps page click on "Add Application"add your pdf files and then add the name you want and the file path location. The Pause Menu for any theme will show them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm stupid, I was cheking some games with pdfs I had previously with wrong path, that was the problem 😅 The new ones I add, and the old ones with corrected path are appearing in pause menu. Anyways thank you for your fast answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
