I know there's Big Box. But I like the themes for LB better and was wondering if there's any or if there's a way to use a controller to control it entirely like you can in Big Box?

Believe it requires a premium license but yes you can with any theme. We basically translate the controller into a virtual mouse. That being said anything text based like search box or edit forms etc you'd need to have something set up to bring up an on screen keyboard so you could type. I don't believe we do that for you anywhere in app. I've never really had the interest to use the feature and it hasn't been changed since I joined the team so I'd have to dive in to give any more specific details. All of this can be found in the options menu though (Tools > Options). Toward the bottom is controller mappings section. Can peruse in there for what commands you can use via controller.

Great, yes I won't be using the search feature, just want to be able to use my controller to quickly find a game and play just like I do with the Big Box themes. WIth that being said, what LB theme can you recommend that displays great and easy to read on 65" 4K TV?

Just depends on the scaling and such. Most themes probably CAN but depending on how you are scaling it can limit the space the theme can use. I only ever use my theme Omni so I'm not the best to ask. It has enough features in it you should be able to use it, but default may be a better experience since the whole details pane scrolls if the verticality gets pinched do to scaling
