What this is:

This theme type will appear when users launch a game, and when they exit out of a game. You can control the look of those 2 views and make it as any way you’d like.

Where to begin:

Find your LaunchBox\StartupThemes folder

Copy and paste the Default theme folder and give the new folder a name (this name becomes your theme name inside of LaunchBox and Big Box)

Inside you’ll find the follow files:

  • 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
