Vertigo - A Vertical BigBox Theme 1.01

So now I'm curious how the theme changes (if at all) when the video preview isn't 4:3.

I don't remember how this theme reacts, but theme creators only have 2 options here.

• We can just have it keep aspect ratio, causing black bars to appear to the left and right.
• We can stretch the game play video to fit a space.

Technically there are other creative things you can do that would be extremely more custom to a particular setup, like special views for different aspect ratios for platforms or playlists (there are a ton of different aspect ratios).

This theme doesn't have any of that though.

 

Understood. Thanks.

I just purchased a license today to play around with it.

So far, it seems like you can't switch monitor orientation without restarting Big-Box, unfortunately. The theme looks "confused" until you restart Big-Box, after switching. Maybe I can ask Jason, et. al. to see if this can be fixed.

@faeran Awesome theme - I'm using it as a front end for a pinball cab with a second monitor as the backglass/marquee. Any chance you could update your theme to be able to use the new video marquee feature that was introduced in v12? Have a look at how the default theme handles to the new video marquee files - would love to have the same behavior in your theme. Thanks!

Just delete the themes MarqueeView.xaml file and you will use the Default view with the theme
