Wow finally ready to release!! First off I have to mention that this is my first attempt to design a theme and secondly thank you to @viking as it was the base for the theme, and @criticalcid for all the help when I got stuck :)

Please install the font supplied in the folder before you start.

This theme has been designed around these platform clear logos and I recommend installing them to get the intended look

- simply download them and add them in the  ...\ LaunchBox \ Themes \ <Theme name> \ Images \ Platforms \ Clear Logo.
Remember to make sure the files are named the same as your platform name.

 

I also recommend using these platform images.

- simply download them and add them in the  ...\ LaunchBox \ Themes \ <Theme name> \ Images \ Platforms \ Banner.
Remember to make sure the files are named the same as your platform name.

@soqueroeu I'm not sure if this will work.... Replace this that line with this

<TextBlock Name="Title" FontFamily="Arcade Interlaced" FontSize="12" DockPanel.Dock="Top" Foreground="#b2b2b2" />

Or if that doesn't work it could be that the style is being set somewhere else.

Thanks, but unfortunately it didn't work. 😕
Is there any way to know where the style comes from?
I believe the font size control is being handled by some other file.

@Rincewind ,

Please, could you tell me which view files respectively correspond to these Wall View menu items?

Another thing: Would it be possible to use the fanart background images in Wall View 4?

image.thumb.png.03c05a9060c29bc608cada98e8d57065.png

I mean exactly the images that appear in the Text List Details, like this:

Can you help me to do this?

Hi @soqueroeu, I am sure the Wall Views were all added to to BigBox after that theme was created so the ones in there must be the same as the BigBox Default theme. As for adding Fan Art to Wall View 4 yes that is possible with something like-

<Image Source="{Binding Path=ActiveGame.BackgroundImagePath}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Stretch="UniformToFill" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality"/>

The Wall Views are controlled by the default theme. I still haven't been able to set the desired background. I will keep trying !

Have you copied the wall views from the Default theme into the Rincewind theme view folder? Once they are there you can then change the code.

Copying the default Wall View files to the theme views folder works. But I still can't get the image I want to appear in the background. I would need help entering the right code.
In
PlatformWheel3FiltersView, it was possible, however:

:image.thumb.png.2e82f076a489a8fcfe9e922d62bcef28.png

 For that I used this line code

<transitions:TransitionPresenter TransitionSelector="{Binding BackgroundTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding BackgroundView}" Height="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualHeight}" Width="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualWidth}" IsContentVideo="true" />

I think I need to declare correctly and try to get somewhere. I must say I'm not a coder, just an adventurer crazy to finish this. Any help would be very good "

Thanks Rince!
