LBPlex 1.4

Looking good, also thumbs up for the "knob" removal .  I think the scrollbar thumbs would look cooler with rounded tips, not such a fan of boxy scrollbars (unless they are directly on the edge of the screen like android) for some reason.

A few questions:

- How can I add more space padding between text elements in the left view?   (im lokking into your xamls)
- How had you get square perfect screenshots???   I really love your capture!!

Regards!!!

You're right, I'll change them for the next update. 

Looks great but for some reason it doesn't work on my machine. I'm on version 8.7 beta 1. I get some error message that prompts me to report the error on a website that I don't know about and and requires registration. Happens on both themes LBPLEX V1.3

Whats the error? And i assume you have unzipped them into the Launchbox/LBThemes folder?

Yes I have. I don't know if that is relevant but, I'm currently running the latest version of the custom theme Unified Redux which is running very smoothly . And here it is ''

This is a LaunchBox theme, not a BigBox theme...

That error has something to do with a marquee i think, do you have a marquee set up?

I was just saying...that error message that was posted is from BigBox.

Sorry @neil9000, I'll crawl back down into my hole

lol, sorry fella didnt mean to come over like that.   Its just that i asked him if he unzipped to LBThemes and he said yes, so i completely overlooked that the error had BigBox in it  so im glad you pointed that out before i went down a rabbit hole.  

 

Duly Noted. Thanks?

Same question here. I assume You use background images. but when i put aspect ratio to 1.0 it looks nearly as good as yours but backgrounds images have different dimensions and some of them looks bad. do you use the same dimension for all background images? and if yes what is this dimension? i could scale all my background images just to get the look you have.

 

props for this man. it looks great.

@Grila is using custom resized images he made for his personal build, so yours wont look exactly the same as his.

Yes, all my background images are custom and they are all square. 

How do you install it ?

Unzip the two folders to your Launchbox/LBThemes folder. Then go to tools/options/visuals and pick it from the dropdown, and restart Launchbox.

Many Thanks

Done that stays the same

is there something else you have to change ?

 

Nice theme! But i was actually a fan of the volume knob. Maybe give us an option (inside the ControlsView.xaml) to bring it back?

Or you could just copy it from the default theme ControlsView.xaml and paste it in there...

 have already tried that.. and failed. ?

I meant just copy the volume knob code and paste it in LBPlex by where I have the volume slider. You can't just replace the whole file.
