Change theme per platform? Had it for 2 years and had no idea I could do this. I like All Night Long and Pulse, not I can mix the two. Gonna do this when I get home. Thanks for the video.

It would be great if we had the option to not show a platform in Big Box. I have magazine from eXo and C64 Dreams that I like having in Launch Box, but I would never read a magazine on my TV from my couch in Big Box.

[CurtisWilliams]

I've always wanted this option, very glad to see it has been added!

[AFSkull]

Great. I love Retrotastic for platforms but dislike its game views.
Now I can mix with others themes 😁

This one is the best option that BIG BOX has! I have a lot of different themes installed. BUT I'd like have also Separate Themes for CATEGORY!! I'd like to enter different "world" when I select Console, Computer, Arcade, Magazine, GamesMusic, playlist and so on!

[spragzpc]

It's good that launchbox gives users so much option cause everyone's biuld is diffrent..

[erlendht]

Awesome stuff, quick question. If we apply different themes to various platforms, how are this shown when you look at various games form multiple platforms inside a playlist? Does the playlist count as a platform and have the ability to have its own theme? does it take the default main menu theme? or will it change between themes as you select games (sounds a bit chaotic!).
Cheers again for the best frontend out there :)

Awesome thanks, i go with themes like unified refried etc that show the tapes of c64, bbc micro etc but for arcade etc some other themes can be great will experiment …

[brianph]

This is awesome! I just started getting into Launchbox / BigBox and wondering if there is a way to auto adjust controller button and interface layout depending on the platform ? IE, plug in a Nintendo 64 controller and it's setup properly for N64 platform, Super Nintendo controller for it's platform and games, etc ? I'm buying a Bliss Box gamer pro so hopefully that takes care of it if the above isn't an option.

Let us know when you start that VR component to Launchbox

[Luke]

Hello. My big box is not showing the platform image/video on main screen. Any ideas why? Thanks

[lokeman]

None of the themes I download work. they seem to apply to the game screens themselves, but I am stuck on some trashy "discover" page I can't get rid of. It's just some page that tries to mimic adds like on a console store using your own library. Anyone know how to "DE-trailer park" Big box and use the themes I download?

[KRIS__B]

Cool. It's a pity that this option doesn't work in the platform category, sad ;(

Edit: Ok, I'm returning the Honor BB, it's broken, now it works in the platform category SUPER EXTRA, it's just a pity that the majority of the cover flow slows down :(

[jabariwiththebois]

I would like to see something like this for franchises

[futuregamer]

I'm just trying to figure out how to get rid of the side bezels when you start a game

[BlackMetalChauvinist]

I am liking the new default but noticed when I switched to it I am missing some system art (Turbograffix CD and some others)

[WingburenArcade]

Would be cool to have a platform to hold platforms like [consoles] to have all Is this all ready implemented?

[chaosxbrigade]
