You can jump right in by heading to your LaunchBox\StartupThemes folder. Make a copy of the Default theme folder and give it the name you want your theme to be called.

In your new folder you'll see all the files you'll need for your startup theme, including:

• Default.xml - the view that appears when you start your game
• Default Shutdown.xml - the view that appears when you end your game
• [platform name].xml - the view that appears when you start a game, but only for the platform you named it after

You'll see examples of all 3 types there.

You'll also be able to go to your LaunchBox\Themes folder and find the Documentation.pdf file. All text and image bindings should work in all of these views. You'll just need to make sure you are using "SelectedGame" and not "ActiveGame" for any of them.

If you have any questions, let me know!
