About This File

#01. Description:

BigCouch was designed for use on big TV screen. A clear and clean interface to navigate easily in your games and platform.

Seems to be a display bug for the video alignment for few users on PlatformView 2 . It's random and it sounds like a bug in the video engine.
CriticalCid has bypassed the problem by fixing the placement of the video for the 16x9 screens.
If you have an alignment problem, try its patch. Available next to the theme.
Thank you !


#02. Features:

  • 4 custom platform view + 7 custom games view.
  • Design for used fanart in background, with automatic blur.
  • Custom icon set. (favorites, broken, ...)

OK I have messed around with it and I get the same view as you. It appears the theme was updated at some point and that view was changed, but the image for it is still in the description at the top of the page. However we can get it looking like that for you, you just need to download a older version of the theme. If you scroll down to the bottom of the theme description you will see a white change log drop down ,drop that down and choose version 1.2.0, when you do that you will get a blue download link just below it, download that version. It should then look like the picture in the description, just delete the version you are currently using first then add the older 1.2.0 version to your themes folder.

Insane. Thanks so so much for the assistance. I've had to pop out for a bit, on mobile at the moment but I can't wait to get back and see! Thanks so very much for your help. Much appreciated. 

 

The old look is way nicer than the newer look IMO that's for sure.

This is how version 1.2.0 looks on mine, of course I don't have the correct platform images that are used with the theme in mine, but I believe that is the view you wanted.

Love this one, but on all my systems (not just the example below) the image overlaps the text a bit, not nice and slick like on the screenshots. See here:
