Radiance 0.4

About This File

Here is an early release version of theme Radiance.

This theme is based around the Aura theme by iGarikoitz.

3.thumb.PNG.c42a6adec4f61b3156f29d878c127277.PNG

Things to note:

  • Theme works best with game music.
  • Theme works best when you have 1 boxart image per game. If you have more than 1 boxart image for a game, the box highlight may not work properly. This is because the coverflow will randomly select a boxart image to display, and the box highlight will also randomly select a boxart image to use for sizing the highlight. If they choose differently, then it will look off. There is currently no way to know which image the coverflow will select to display.
  • This theme does not work well if a system has boxart that is not uniform.
  • Custom changes on a per-platform basis need to be made. All system may not be currently covered. If you find a system that is not currently covered, please let me know and I'll look into it.

 

Have fun!

I was hoping for this to be a nice clean theme with subtle animations etc.... my expectations were well met :)  Excellent job! I look forward to this theme maturing and being officially released.

Great job! The theme is beautiful! However, it seemed to have corrupted by Bigbox exe. Sometimes going back and fourth in the platforms, it will end up causing a pop up error and I can't return to the main platform select menu...don't know why! 

Can you make a version where the video starts playing when the game is selected? Or the game logo appears as well?

Keep up the amazing work! Salute from PORTUGAL!

hi, amazing theme. works great for most systems but just a little feedback, dreamcast seems too zoomed in. boxes are very large and game title over laps in the boxes. other than that, amazing work!

Could you make it so it highlights the letter row when you are scrolling by letter? Currently it's impossible to tell if you are highlighting the letter bar or not.

I'll have to look into if this is possible. I could always enable the default indexing method of having the letter row invisible unless triggered.

That would work. Or maybe have the row somewhat transparent unless triggered?

After looking through any possibilities, the only one that was really readily available was making the row transparent unless triggered. I've updated the theme with the change, let me know what you think.

it looks amazing, but I want to keep my back cover box art after taking all this time to collect it.  Maybe someday you can get it to only pick the front box art for both.

Hi love your theme only problem I'm having is on the game details screen. The right column options are in a really small font size. I run big box in 4k any fixes please?

You would have to delve into the code and alter the text list size to fit your 4k screen. Look in TextListView.xaml and search for FontSize.

That, or change your Windows scaling settings to 200%.

Any chance of an update on this theme? Mine causes error and corrupts the bigbox executable :S

This is the best theme in my opinion!

Only needs to include the video previews on the side on the game cover (or inside it via a fade).

Hi @GodElite. I've never actually seen an error causing BigBox executable to corrupt? A theme is just layout files, and usually cannot cause something like that.

Do you receive any error message when it crashes?

Hi @faeran. It is very strange but it happens to me... After I select your theme and I try to see any game details I get the attached error:

game_details_error.jpg

I then press Ok and go back to navigate the theme as usual. I exit and if I try to enter Bigbox again, I get this error:

corrupted_bigbox_afterusingtheme.jpg

Due to this I always have to backup the "data" folder and restore it again to fix it.

Great job on the theme by the way!

Thats a plugin error with the y2guru plugin. Have you checked that the .dll for that is unblocked in Radience/Plugins? Right click it and go to properties, there may be a "Unblock" checkbox at the bottom of the window.

Sorry @neil9000 but the "Y2GURUConverters.dll" plugin does not have any Unblock button. I've checked all the tabs on the file properties.

If I had to guess, it's probably something to do with the plugin not working well with the launchbox language you are using. @y2guru may be able to confirm.

I'm missing the logo for the "Play Mode", "Genre" and "Rating. The text is there under it, but the icon is not present. Do I have to download an icon pack somewhere? Awesome theme by the way!
