PLEASE......first timer and need some direction on how to properly manage themes.   I just installed a theme for the first time on Big Box or Launch box, and first off im not sure if its what you would call a custom themet, i basically got the file to install off of the forums. Anyway so im trying figure out how to customize or change the look of the theme, but the background stays blank and there is no background image of the game or fanart i guess you could say and nothing playing or sound...if that makes sense.  Also there is no video of gameplay showing what the game looks like. Also i would like to try and change the view of the theme, maybe add a wheel for the system and game section. I think the theme already comes with one installed but it doesnt look right and i was curious to see if there are differtent options available for the look of the theme. If there is anyone who is familiar with this sort of thing i would appreciate any help or if you can point me in the right direction. I appreciate all the help and thoughts on how to use themes. Its actually my first time using Launchbox and BIg Box so im a little lost lol i guess you could say. Also its my first time actually messing around with any sort of emulation or even playing a video game since my accident a few years back....so im a little rusty forgive me lol ;)
