About This File

Greetings to everyone around the world! Just wanted to share this updated version of the fantastic "LBPlex" theme. "LBPlex 2023" includes most of the latest additions from the past year or so to LaunchBox, such as filters (top left corner), badges (boxes view) MAME High Scores Leaderboards, Related Games (embedded in the right side panel) along with the new screenshot/media views (right side panel) and platform icons (left side panel). This was edited and put together with some guidance and help from other's wonderful words of wisdom; while keeping everything from the original LBPlex theme exactly as it was, along with those newly added features added in there. Important note: this includes only the "Normal" version (not the "Condensed" one). I have zero programming knowledge and take absolutely no credit for this, and certainly all credit and recognition goes to the very talented (original) programmer/creator @Grila and @faeran with all of the recently updated theme-code to LaunchBox.

Updated (8/27/22)

  • Version 1.2
  • Updated to include the new  “Platform Details View” feature (added in LaunchBox version 12.15)
  • black bars on side of images/videos for Platforms and Games (sidebar-details) have been removed

Version 2.0 (02/07/23)

- name changed (2023)
- platform/category icons (left panel) added. (LaunchBox 13.2 or higher)

Hi @bundangdon!!!

Are you going to update this theme to include the latest changes in Launchbox version 13.3?

Thank you so much.

Yep, I've recently updated this theme but I'm still testing around with it because there's one little weird behavior that's happening now after the recent changes in 13.3. Although it's not really a deal-breaker, so I'll probably update it sometime in the next few days.

Update: Good news. With the official version that was released, I noticed that odd "behavior" has now disappeared! So, I'll definitely release the update very soon

I've made a few small changes to the "BoxesContentView.xml" view to prevent game titles from being cut off and look a bit better.
Here are the changes:

<!-- TITLE REGULAR TEXT -->
                                     <TextBlock Text="{Binding Title}" Foreground="{Binding ForegroundBrush}" TextWrapping="Wrap" TextTrimming="None" Margin="{Binding TextMargin}" Grid.Row="1" TextAlignment="{Binding TextAlignment} " MaxHeight="{Binding MaxTextHeight}" />
                                 
  <!-- SUBLINE REGULAR TEXT -->
                                     <TextBlock Visibility="{Binding SublineVisibility}" Text="{Binding Description}" Foreground="{Binding FadedForegroundBrush}" FontSize="12" TextWrapping="NoWrap" TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" Margin="0,0,0, 0" Grid.Row="2" TextAlignment="{Binding TextAlignment}" />

Could you consider adding these small changes for future revisions?

I think it looks much better this way, really. I'm waiting for your opinion

Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I definitely like that idea and will add that in with a future release. Very much appreciate the feedback and ideas!
