BiRaitBec Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 (edited) BannerBox 4k BannerBox 4k aims to fix the low resolution of all banners (1080p or 512p) from BannerBox original theme by upscaling them to 8k first and then downscaling them to 4k (2160p) to reduce image size and performance impact. In addition I also fixed wrong used names, added new missing system banners with correct naming and replaced some original banners with alternative versions I prefer. It is all listed in the changelog section at the bottom. With this method of upscaling you can finally enjoy popping art and details. The larger the screen you use this theme on, the bigger the difference perceived. Best viewed at full screen with Image Comparison Slider. If you notice any little difference on your monitor, then it is worth using this 4k upgrade. P.S. I don't know how to make a comparison with a slider so I left the two images side by side. Platforms Categories (Before\After) - Consoles (Before\After) - Handhelds (Before\After) - Computers (Before\After) - Arcades (Before\After) - Requirements: - BannerBox 2.1 as the active BigBox theme. Installation: - Download the BannerBox 4k - 1.0.zip file and extract the images folder inside the downloaded file to your Launchbox\Themes\BannerBox folder. Overwrite Everything when asked. Now set the following options in the BigBox options menu: - On Images Cache, refresh all images to display the new installed banners. - On Images, set the CoverFlow Image Quality to Highest (Slowest) for best lossless visuals, however you can also keep it as you had previously. Enjoy! Massive thanks to the original authors of the theme, the contributors of the official banners and the community who created banners for missing and existing systems, playlists and apps. If you feel like you don't wanna belong here with your banner, just tell me and I will remove them, and if you want upscaled versions of your personal banners let me know. I tested that everything worked for a huge amount of systems, let me know if you find problems, missing banners, wrong naming, or if you like me to add new or different banners.
