I wanted to change the theme to a more Retro look in Version 4. See changelogs and last few screenshots. I will only be going forward with the two v4 version as it has been to much to keep up with all the versions. I will try to update most of the screenshots soon. I plan on adding vertical and coverflow views soon. I'll leave v3 online as they look quite a bit different. Looking back, I probably should have separated them as different themes Simple Desktop v4 - Uploaded Simple Touch v4 - Uploaded (last 2 screenshots) Simple Desktop v3 (light) - FINAL Simple Desktop v3 (dark) - FINAL (screenshots close to end) Some of the features: New custom Neon platform, platform categories and few playlist Clear Logos (close to 200 of them). Also available in separate DOWNLOAD now. device bezels for game videos (200+ platforms) - (special thanks @Duimon for many of them). Also extra ones in a folder named "unused" and a psd template added Partial Gamepad badge support like Steam does (add a custom field in LB named "Partial Gamepad Support" with a value of "Yes") - dll file below displays nice little message when no game notes are present (see screenshot 5) displays colorful "No Video image" when no game video is present in the bezel ability to choose scratches & smudges on game videos (delete "Scratches.png" file in ..\Themes\Simple Desktop v3 (light)\Media\Overlays) font changes for better visibility colorful 3 second popup for games marked as Completed, Broken or Not Installed in Horizonal & Wall views (see screenshot 7,8,9) Audio announces 200+ Platforms New matching neon "Startup" videos Clean, with a modern look. Works well with all the screen sizes I have been able to test, including large screens and 4K TVs. Responsive and simple, thus "Simple Touch". I needed this for a A-I-O Touch Screen PC I will be installing in a false wall soon. I'll be doing a home remodeling project soon and thought a touch screen jukebox in the wall would be a cool look. I found a great deal on a Lenovo 700 22ish touchscreen on ebay and have been setting it all up before I start the remodel. I wanted to create a BB theme with a similar look to the Jukebox (media center) software I put on the PC. (Most of the Platform videos in the videos in v3 and previous were the Bigbox Cinematic videos, in v4 they showcase the Colorful videos with a few I made) NEW VIDEO: Simple Desktop v4 (11-04-22) VIDEO: Simple Desktop v3 Light (10-07-22) - Sorry it's so long, I was trying to show all the bezels I used to show the game videos for all the platforms. VIDEO: Simple Desktop v3 Dark (10-13-22) Here is the dll file for adding the "Touch Badge" in Launchbox. Drop it into your ..\Launchbox\Plugins folder. (not required, just shows the Touch Badge in Launchbox) Badge Touch.dll Startup Videos: (10 seconds) NEW - Simple Desktop (available in 1080 & 4K) BigBox Simple Desktop (3840 × 2160 px).mp4 NEW - Simple Touch (available in 1080 & 4K) * (you can disable the audio by renaming or deleting the Audio folder within the ..\theme name\Media\Audio folder. If you want to remove the family logo image in the settings page, you can do the same thing with it, located in the ..\theme name\Media\Images folder) "Simple Touch v3" (light or dark), "Simple Desktop v3" (light or dark) are the older versions. * Simple Touch Vertical (vertical version) This one is more of a test version. It's made using 3:4 aspect ratio per request. I had to re-size some things and move a few things around a bit, but pretty much the same. I have nothing to test it with, so not sure how well it will look or work on a actual vertical screen. If you give this one a try, feedback would be awesome (especially some screenshots or a video). As always, special thanks goes out to: @JoeViking245 for helping me with the touch issues @y2guru for sharing CTC with us, thank you @faeran for allowing me to use a bit of his code @Johnny T for all the MFME Fruitbox Machine help @viking for the awesome Colorful stuff and sharing some of his knowledge with me ALL THE USERS Don't forget to leave feedback, post comments, questions or suggestions. Will do the best I can to get back. - Enjoy! BigBox Simple Desktop (1920 × 1080 px).mp4- 10 comments

🌀 Hey! Just a Few Game Themes Each theme usually takes me between 2 and 3 hours to create — from animation to editing, sometimes full-on post-production where I add extra effects just to make it pop. Everything is animated by me. Sometimes I even experiment a bit (lip sync, dynamic effects, timing tweaks, etc.). Let’s just say: hands in the engine, heart in the pixels… and somehow, magic happens ✨ Enjoy! 🎮💜 🆕 New & Upcoming Themes Red Dead Redemption + Nightmare MGS DELTA 2 VERSIONS CRONOS News !

Hey ya'll. This here's another Bigbox theme called Details. It was designed for big screens. It uses the 16:9 aspect ratio, and geared more for using on large 4K TV's. I'm still working on this one and it's not finished. I plan to add more views like a Marquee, Coverflow, etc., I'm just not that far along yet. Best to use Windows Media Player in BigBox for the colors to match the "Colorful" video snaps correctly UPDATED: (see changelog below) The first 4 screenshots were added in last update just to show some of the newly added badges. Included Views: Platform 1 (horizontal wheel-bottom) *Platform 2 (vertical wheel on left side) *Platform 3 (vertical wheel on right side) Platform Text View Horizontal Games 1 (horizontal wheel on bottom) *Horizontal Games 2 (horizontal wheel on bottom with different alignment) *Vertical Games 1 (vertical wheel on left side) *Vertical Games 2 (vertical wheel on right side) Full Cover Flow Games Game Text View *Wall Game View Settings (*included in SE version only) Assets Used in the video: (SE version used in the video) Jarvis Sound Pack: https://bit.ly/46qXWXA Jarvis Startup Video: https://bit.ly/46qXWXA Details (SE) Startup/Shutdown Theme: https://bit.ly/46qXWXA Details (SE) Pause Theme: https://bit.ly/46qXWXA This one has more time and work put into it, more than any theme I've done to date. From graphics to unique views. There are somewhere around 300 view files used in the theme so far and still counting. I've done 100 or so custom wheel items/images for the platform and playlists wheels so far. This time, I went with controllers and year for the wheel items of the platform/playlists views, and game cartridges and discs for wheel items on games views. I love how Launchbox allows us to download our artwork, but I was going for a more consistent look with the game cartridges and discs. I have spent 100's of hours trying to replicate each of the media types used so far, trying to add as much detail to each as I possibly could without going overboard and crippling the theme. I tried keeping the look fairly simple, but this theme is very complex in design. Unlike most themes, I'm not using 2 or 3 fonts. So far, it uses 57 different fonts, as I tried matching fonts that pertained to each included platform or platform clear logo. I tried to match them as best I could. I also tried to throw in a bit of history you might say with some of the artwork. Or making Retro, as Retro can get. Like in some of the art I used in the Arcade platform. I used images of the very first arcade machine ever made for public use. It was called "Computer Space". Or with "Future Pinball", I used a wooden pinball machine. I put a lot of research into this one, even details such as the years that the store fronts were founded in the Store Front playlists. I also set it up to work well with some of the best platform videos out there, the Colorful Platform/Playlists Video Snaps. You don't have to use them, so if you prefer different ones or none at all (choosing none will show random snaps), that's no problem. However, if you don't plan on using the Colorful videos set, you need to DELETE or RE-NAME a folder in the theme called "Colorful" (..\LaunchBox\Themes\Details (SE)\Media\Colorful). This theme relies Heavily on "Fanart Backgrounds" and "Clear Logos". It also needs good metadata for things like ESRB Ratings. The ESRB ratings are used quite a bit on much of the media replication I've done. (I also included an extra PEGI folder for those folks that use that system as well. You may need to do a little file renaming and moving to get them going as you need too, but they are included.) The biggest problem with this theme is the Playlists views. They can be slow. The more platforms used in a specific playlist, the slower the loading. This is because of the way LB/BB is using a "default" view when it's loading everything for that playlist. LB/BB will be loading many different types of cartridges and discs from different systems all at the same time, well, it can get slow. BTW, the little animated trophy means that game has Achievements if you use Retro Achievements. Well that's about it for now. Leave comments, suggestions and Reviews here on the forums.

We started home schooling him starting in the 1st grade, he is only 10 now and should finish the 7th grade in just a couple months.

Do you remember neon lights from the 50's and 60's? (Yes, I know I am old) They were everywhere on about every store. The flickers, the sounds? With this theme I tried to capture as much of that as I could figure out how. All the backgrounds are animated as to replicate the flicker of a neon bulb of the platform name and device coming on. (the intro startup video I made even includes the sounds). Also has a second set of backgrounds that replace the neon city with a dark brick as optional download. I sure am not a graphics designer and can use all the help I can get . But I have attempted to create more glass looking clear logos, added lighting and reflections of the neon stuff and attempted to make the light pass through in all the info boxes I used best I could. Between what I could do in photoshop and CTC, this is what I have so far. This theme is the most extensive theme I have done to date. Version 2.0.0 doesn't need the backgrounds like version 1 did. Choose from Neon Skyline or Neon Brick Skyline OPTIONAL (only needed for version 1): If you would like to use the other backgrounds, they are named: BrickBackgrounds - Just dark brick wall Neon Brick Skyline - I combine the brick wall with the neon skyline to make it look like a mural on the wall. To change the backgrounds, just rename or delete the files in the ..\Launchbox\Themes\Neon Skyline\Media\Backgrounds folder. Extract the replacements and drop them in the same place as the originals I was planning on doing all the platforms, but I might wait to see if there is enough interest there before I spend that much time on it. It takes me sometimes hours to do a single platform (I'm old, remember ). Let me know in the comments what ya'll think. Watch the video, download and try it. BTW: Theme has most of my usual stuff (shows partial gamepad support like Steam, little popups for Completed, Broken, Needs Installed, etc.) and runs very smooth on my large BB rig, even in the Arcade platform on my older PCs. Only tested with 16:9 so not sure how it looks on others Sample Video: Startup Video (I have 4K version if anyone is interested) Startup.mp4 Comments, reviews, questions and suggestion are welcome! If you have found any of my efforts useful, let me know! If you'd like to buy me a cup of coffee, I would really appreciate it (via PayPal donation) Enjoy! The Papaw- 5 comments

Arcade Cabinet Big Font View File Hello, Here my first Big Box Theme release, mainly focusing on Big font, big wheel, big everything. Typical use for Arcade Cabinet with CRT television. But should work on any type or size. I have 2 types of vertical view for wheel. One with image and the other with video selection. Image Vertical view for wheel are for sure more safe for slow CPU. In my case I run a Core Duo only and normal video from emumovie are working fine. The full theme video at the other hand are barely ok. Note : To use normal video rather theme video I just rename the folder of theme video to make sure BB don't find it and use normal video. Thanks to Thimolor, i started my theme base on LV-101 Submitter patrickfx Submitted 10/25/2020 Category Big Box Custom Themes

Hey all! This is my first attempt at a theme. It goes with what my cab will look like once it's all done - it's Pop Art! I don't own any of these images, and borrowed them from all over the internet, modfied others, and even have some images from other themes. Would love to know your thoughts, if you'd like to see any changes. I have two versions, one that should work on a 27 inch monitor (via pc) and one set for a vertical machine (for those that have modfied Arcade 1up's. Enjoy!!!
