Stained Glass Theme

PsiSoldier · January 7

This is the release for my Bigbox Stained Glass theme. It is still a work in progress with more Playlists and Platforms to be added. But as it stands now I have all consoles that I personally use in Launchbox and there is artwork for around 100 playlists at its current state. Many of the playlists are used for sorting games based on Community rating, Theme, Recently added games or games that are not installed or not rated. There are icons for Game stores as well which could show up as a playlist if you added them but they are used for showing you what store you have a game from rather than as a playlist.

One fair warning though this is a relatively power hungry theme. If you have a barebones computer I don't know how well it is going to run for you as this includes a lot of elements of the theme that change on a number of factors like the time of day, current platform etc. More so than most any other themes do.

Current playlists include

2 Star, 3 Star, 4 Star, 4X, Action, Adventure, Alien, All Games, All Windows Games, All, Amazon Games, Anime, Asian, Battle Mech, Beat Em Up, Best Of, Board Game, Business, Casino, City Builder, Colony Sim, Construction and Management Simulation, Construction and Management, Cooking, Cooperative, Crime, Cyberpunk, Deck Building, Dinosaur, Dungeon Crawl, EA Games, Education, Epic Games, Fantasy RPG, Fantasy, Favorites, Fighting, Flight Sim, Flight Simulator, Ghosts, GOG Store, Hack N Slash, Historical, Horror, Law, Life Sim, Life Simulation, Lovecraft, Magic, Mario Games, Medieval, MMO, Modern Warfare, Multiplayer, Music, Ninja, Not Installed, Not Rated, Open World, Party, Pinball, Pirate, Platform, Post-Apocalyptic, Puzzle, Quiz, Racing, Roguelike, Role-Playing, RPG, RTS, Run N Gun, Sandbox, Sci-Fi, Shooter, Single Player, Space Games, Sports, Star Wars, Stealth, Strategy, Super Hero, Survival, Tactical, Tower Defense, Ubisoft connect, Vampire, Vehicle Sim, Vehicle Simulation, Visual Novel, Warhammer 40K, Western, World War, Worst Rated, Xbox Store, Zombie

To get Playlists setup I advise you to go through your collection and Ctrl Click on all games with a specific theme for example Sci-Fi and once you have a comfortable amount selected right click and then open Bulk Edit Wizard select Genre (Even though it may be a theme) and Add Sci-Fi or whatever you are working on. Then select Windows or whatever platform you are working on Right click and select Add Playlist and name it exactly as I have the list above for your playlist you are adding. After that just add a unique Name which can be whatever you want but the Nested Name must be exactly as above. Then go to Auto-populate select your platform that you are working on and under that your Genre. If anyone needs help with this I can create a video walking through all of this process and how to do it quickly. I just went through a collection of 2000 PC games doing this so I have plenty of practice.

Some of the views will change the background depending on the Genre that you have added which is why I say to add it under Genre and not theme otherwise Bigbox would probably crash trying to check both Themes and Genres. I still have more work to do on that particular part adding more artwork for various Themes but much of the art is already created and only needs to be added.

I am pretty much done with what I set out to do with the theme. But if there is a desire for it I will create a patrion and if anyone wishes to support me to continue work on the theme I do that and add more Platforms and playlists (Such as ARPG JRPG etc.. ) to it as well as additional Views. But for most people without Huge collections this will probably be perfectly fine in its current state.
