Perfect, Thank you!

You are welcome

Hi @y2guru

Would it also be possible to have as metadata for a text element the same as for an image? I am missing, for example, the possibility to display the platform name as text (not the same as the game platform).

Thanks!

Game platform doesn’t show the platform name associated with a game?

Yes it does, what is fine as long as I am browsing through a platform. In the case that I am browsing through a playlist, the game platform value does not coincide with the platform value (and what I would like to show is the latter).

Ok I gotcha, so you want to see the playlist name if viewing games by playlist,  I am yet to add playlist support to the theme creator , once I do I will add the relevant metadata fields 

That's it! The good thing about the playlist name is that it is kept within the platform name value. Right now, with the latest version of the theme creator, I can display an image based on the platform name (including playlists here) as you allow the platform as metadata for images.

Thanks!

It is 100% on the list, there were other things holding that up

Last one, I promise.

Would it be possible to apply animations to a group of UI elements? I would like, for example, all the elements within the Game Information group to fade in simultaneously, without having to apply animations to each of of them individually.

Best regards.

That will be in my final feature yes.... parent controls, 

HI  @y2guru

I really like your creation. Nows its possible for newbies like me to create themes. Great work.

I'm not sure if this is the right place for suggestions so I try my luck ?

- vertical Game Wheel Index

- possiblity to create Start/Pause/Game Over Screens

- an additonal wheel in platforms view for recent played or favorits

Many thanks

 

is there a community forum thread I have a question: I would like to have a platform specific "background/fanbackground" to splash up full screen when selected and then fade out after a moment. I'm trying to re-create coinops PC in bigbox called CoinBox

Are you asking if it’s possible to do using the creator or wanting to know how to do it using the creator?

yes ? 

 I have figured out how to fade images out, but I have not found out how to use platform background image, or override background image to fade out. 

So, If I select a platform, what I would like is for the system / platform background to show and then slowly fade out revealing the video for that platform. am I making sense to you?

yes it makes sense, so you want the system/platform opacity set to 100 once a system has been selected and then 5-10 seconds later you want that image opacity to fade to 0%

 

what version of the creator are you using?

Hello @y2guru  I've been trying to integrate my collection playlist into my overall theme for a few days now, the problem is that games don't appear when we scroll down the tabs on the drop-down menu on the left, maybe it's not is not possible yet? Thank you in advance for your light!

Doesn’t work in the current build and has never worked since I put out the initial alpha version, but..... it has been fixed in the upcoming build which I will put out in a week or 2

Ne fonctionne pas dans la version actuelle et n'a jamais fonctionné depuis que j'ai sorti la version alpha initiale, mais ..... il a été corrigé dans la prochaine version que je publierai dans une semaine ou 2

 

Okay super, I will wait so thank you!

Hola! el programa no me deja alinear el texto hacia el medio, ni a la derecha ni izquierda, no me aparecen las opciones para centrar, ¿como harías para centrar el texto de la lista de juegos, si no me aparecen las opciones pertinentes? gracias, espero me aclaren las dudas.

La alineación del texto es posible en la versión 1.0.7.1, todavía no he lanzado esta versión

I will take a look in a few hours.

did you unblock the downloaded zip file before extracting?

do you have platforms and games defined to launchbox?

No unblock option (I assume due to my Windows Security settings in WIN-10)

Yes, many platforms and games

Is it possible due to I am running LB beta 10.12-13?

Thank you sir

The bigbox beta shouldn’t impact the creator but I will take a look in a few hours and I’ll follow up with you 

Disculpe que le haga otra pregunta, estoy teniendo un pequeño problema relacionado con la opción ''Release Date'', en algunos juegos aparece la fecha de lanzamiento sin embargo en otros juegos no se muestra (a pesar de que la fecha de lanzamiento del juego está puesta en los metadatos de launchbox), esto ocurre tanto en el programa community theme creator como también en bigbox.
