Community Theme Creator 3.2

That’s more of a bigbox question to Jason, he controls the content,  I simply create the xaml

OK. The scrolling works with other themes I have seen. I have realised that with your theme creator the text does scroll, though there seems to be a delay to it starting and then it scrolls very slowly (even when adjusting the scroll speed in the editor to the 2 extremes).

FYI, I'm working on a dual screen theme. Progress can be seen here:

 

i have a design for theme but i want it to be good so i want someone else to code it ... im shit

It is based around Star Trek TNG - LCARS , was hoping for help in making it a reality. Just give me credit for gfx design

LCARS Fullscreen sound pack.zip

If done properly , i think it could be awesome.

Your thoughts guys?

would be an cool community collab

@y2guru is there a way  to show current playlist? If not would be a great addition, in particular for those that browse mainly by playlist rather than platform.

Also, another wee feature request - could the shadow feature also go all the way round the UI element, rather than just at a set angle?

For playlists edit 'TextFiltersView'

Set opacity to 100%, direction and depth at 0, set higher value in blur like 40 or so.

Thanks @Mr. RetroLust!

I can't find TextFiltersView. To be clear, don't want to edit a different view - I'm still working on the game list view. I just want it to show the current playlist somewhere on that view. For example, I might be in the games list view for computers/MSDOS/Sierra Games - as well as the platform MSDOS logo (that I currently have showing as a UI element), I want it to show the playlist (Sierra Games) also.

TextFiltersView is here (if or when you can use it) 

I tried to go to playlist (haven't tried before) but it kept loading so I went back to platform.

 

@Mr. RetroLust doesn't your screenshot show textgamesview, not textfiltersview?

Oops haha, it's to the left or right of it, you'll find it

I think you're misunderstanding me my friend! I do not want to edit the textfilters view. I want to edit the textgamesview. And within the textgamesview, I would like to have a UI element which displays the name of the playlist that is selected.

I did understood you wasn't after textfiltersview as I said "TextFiltersView is here (if or when you can use it)" because you said you couldn't find it lol I can't answer your question though.

Lol OK....thanks for trying to help mate, appreciated. So I am still trying to add a UI element to the textgamesview that shows the currently selected playlist. @y2guru - is this currently possible?

 

I was working in a theme without the creator, just using visual studio, may I export that project to this editor??

The Theme creator does not work that way, it has a set of preset UI Elements that you essentially drop onto a blank canvas and manipulate the properties, think of PowerPoint but as you add UI elements to the canvas it is generating XAML behind the scenes

ohh i understant, i have a question, wallgamesview does not support videos? I cant find the option for insert the selected item video

Last time I checked bigbox does not allow the wall view to use selected item videos , if that has changed then I can allow the selected item video to be used

Hey man just wanted to let you know how much I am loving all these new additions. I am building all kinds of new things and more importantly, I am able to make my life easier now by using the new custom images tool. I used to have to redo every single platform view when I made a small change and it was driving me nuts. Now I can make it automatic. Love You!!! 

Have a request though, could you please add more platform specific slots in there because I need at least 2 more to build some additional features.  PRETTY PLEASE!!

You need 6 custom images? ?
