Is that possible? Yes.

Here's a couple versions you can use to overwrite the default:

Video: TextFiltersView.xaml

Platform Background Image: TextFiltersView.xaml

I didn't have time to test them, so you would have to tell me if any issues crop up.

First of all, many, many thanks for your work, faeran.
I love the results! 

I'd like to know if were possible to you to update these alternatives to latest version. it seems to be that they don't work anymore.
My BB version is 11.10, which is possible too new for these variants, whch are also old your the current version of your theme.

If not possible, no problem
Many thanks in advance!

Hi @KaaMoS. Tbh, I'm not entirely sure what were in those versions. Do you remember what the changes were?

Yes, sure, in those modified files we were able to add a video and/or platform image for background.

Alright, give these a shot. You'll need the newest version of the theme I just posted.

TextFiltersView.xaml - Platform background image

TextFiltersView.xaml - Platform background video

Wow! They worked just perfect!

Loved the video version! I mixed it with Colorful platform videos and looks great! 

I think these variations should be added to official build.

Many, many thanks, friend!

So I'm new to Bigbox. How do I switch to the 2nd view shown here?

In Big Box Options, go to either Keyboard Mappings or Controller Mappings and set a Switch View button. Then navigate to a game view and press that button to cycle through all available views.

That's helpful. Thanks!

REally like this POC.  Actually using it since 2 months not as a POC but has my main navigation.  Only thing, the navigation is a bit slow sometimes.  I think you mention it in your post.  Which is i guess the reason of POC.

Funny is, i have a quiet powerfull pc and GPU.  

Is it possible to get the project files for this theme? I was looking to combine the games list from this into another theme in the theme creator.

Thanks!

The wall views in this theme is not possible to be made inside of the CTC yet, therefore no CTC file currently exists.

When that changes I'll put the files here.

Sounds good. Thank you!

Is there a way to NOT use clear logos and just have the default plain text instead? Thanks!

It's definitely possible. You'll just have to edit the view that you want and replace the clear logo image with a textblock of the title.

I would like to start by saying this is my fav theme. Thank you so much for making this! I have a few requests.

 

1. Is it possible to do a full screen wall without showing any meta data like Aeon in Kodi? If not is it possible to "hide" the metadata and center the cover art?

2. Is it possible to get a alphabetical jump/skip that pops up on the far right like you get with the Aeon theme in Kodi?

Glad you liked this proof of concept theme I made all these years ago. The answer to your questions is yes to both, it would just require someone to edit the theme code to accommodate what you are after. 

At the moment, I'm a bit busy to circle back to this theme right now, but if you wanted to dive into the code, or if anyone else did, I could attempt to help to get to where you need to go.

I copied the Nintendo Switch "wallgamesview" file in "..\The POC\Views\WallGamesView" and renamed it "Microsoft Xbox 360". It is the closest to a 360 cover. Then I relaunched big box hoping to see a change and... nope...

I am familiar with powershell and xml, but I am a bit lost here. Seems like most of what I want can be achieved by editing this file, but I dont know what each tag is for in there nor have I ever used XAML.
