About This File

This theme requires LaunchBox version 13.3+

This is my default theme I use for my own LaunchBox installation. The primary changes are:

  • Game Details is laid out differently with the fields always appearing "on top" at the bottom of the detail panel
  • Game Details has hyperlinks that when click automatically go to the Sidebar location that matches the selection and then refreshes the content view
  • The button bar uses iconography instead of text for the buttons
  • Progress bar size has been reduced and displayed on the right half of the screen
  • Side bar was re-arranged a bit to help with space
  • Image View center aligns items and the text is displayed under the item when "Text on all games" is enabled (and only when enabled)
  • List View is no longer a data grid and is instead a single file list of games displaying the following information
    • Game Image
    • Title
    • Platform and Release Year
    • Date Last Played and Time Played
    • Badges
    • Achievement Progress

What's New in Version 1.8   See changelog

Released

- Fixed issue with double clicking a List View item not playing a game
- Changed List View item color a bit to make it easier to see what item is selected

They should be visible in both. Platform Icons are in the sidebar.

The latest 1.6 update is awesome and I think the achievement progress bar is ingenious. However, I found an issue with the list view where pressing the DELETE button on my keyboard when trying to delete games isn't working and I have to right-click and select delete manually while it works fine on Image view.

Hmm thanks for letting me know. I'll have to see why that is, I didn't think that was something themes could really break so will need to track down the cause.

Looks like I'll probably need to modify LB source code to get that to work better so won't happen this version. Thanks for letting me know though, I'll keep it on the backburner and see if I can get it into the next version and update the theme then.

I dont know what happened. I have restarted LB and I've updated again your awesome theme. Now it works. I have done some mistakes, I am sure.

Now I see the progress bar too, and it is awesome. I can see it only after I do an achievements scan.

Can I make a request or a suggestion? I dont know if it is possible, maybe it is impossible. Anyway I give it a try.

I'd like to see something different when I have mastered a game. (100% achievements)

Usually you gain a new unique and game relative badge, but I understand that it is quite impossible. But maybe you can change the progress bar color? From blue to ...red? green? or yellow?

Or simply show a different badge? From the trophy to a Mastered one? Or add another simply, generic badge next to the trophy?

Do you think it is possible?

Anyway...great theme! Thank you so much!

I'm not sure I will in the official theme (least not right away) but it'd be fairly strait forward to do. Use a DataTrigger in the ProgressBar style and when Progress bar Value property is 1 change the foreground color.

Oh, thank you for your reply!
I understand that you are telling me that it is possible to do it in some way (I have checked it but I have only found the file that contains Progressbar and I lost myself ^_^) but you'll not update, atm at last, it in the official theme.

Ok, I am happy that it is possible to do it. Maybe soon or later we'll have it 

^_^

thank you again

Yeah, that ProgressBar you would add a Style to and place a setter in it for the foreground color you want when not all are earned, then create a trigger sections in it with a Trigger that looked at the Value property and when it was 1 would have a setter that changed it's foreground color.

If you aren't comfortable making the change perhaps some one will read it and take a whack at it for ya.

I understand the meaning but I can't translate it in code.

You are vey kind to use "comfortable" but I know that I totally ignore how to do it.

I'll wait for someone with the right competence.

Thank you so much for the reply
^_^
