Amazing. 👏

Awesome theme. The 1 wall view reminds me of going to a game store and vertically flipping through their games on the shelf. I would like to suggest a small future change if I may. On the platforms view, at the bottom right hand corner where it says "**/** GAMES", I suggest changing it to "SYSTEM **/**" or "PLATFORM **/**" or something similar as the "GAMES" part could confuse some users. Other than that, all clean and beautiful.

Wow! This is great work! I would love to use this in my own theme but looking at your code I realize that is going to take a while.

I'd like to make this:

Work in this:

I've used the community theme maker but I'm guessing that won't be an option for a while.

Any pointers to get me started?
Do you use any software for making these themes?

You're amazing faeran!

Is there any way to get the spines to be able to be shown for the cover art as well it looks good just not liking that the spine stays blank.

 

Keep up the great work!

Thanks @Fatchk

What do you mean by the spine stays blank?

By default, it will use any spine images that you may have. If you don't have a spine image then it falls back to displaying a clear log. If you don't have a clear logo, then you'll see the sides be blank.

Also, if you have any Box - Full images, it will use them to display spine artwork.

I got it to work now but like switch games the spine is not quite small enough to pull the back art off the spine section to display just the spine.

@faeran This is another fantastic theme and an excellent 'proof of concept' with the 3D Boxes feature that was recently added. There's only a couple of issues. It would be nice if screenshots would appear in some of the views where game videos aren't available (see the Super Mario 3 example below). Also, the platforms which use square or wide boxes (playstation, snes, nds, etc.) have some overlapping issues, as you may know about this issue. (see the screenshots below). If these issues could be fixed, then I'll definitely consider this my 'go to' theme for BigBox

(needs a screenshot, when the video isn't there)

(overlapping issue)

We clearly Need some spine packs created, could take some time tho 😓

Thanks. Should have both done in the next version.

This is a user-controlled setting, so if you wanted to, you could make that adjustment in LaunchBox within the platform's 3D Model Settings.

Great update! Thanks a lot for the very quick fixes to the issues mentioned in my previous post. Keep up the good work!

Ahh so this only available for premium users i see. 😅

That's correct. Big Box is part of LaunchBox Premium, you do need Big Box to use any themes built for it.

Is anyone else seeing the clear logos being used for spines as upside down? It is especially noticeable on the vertical wheel view.

Yes.  Easy fix though.

Right-click the Platform in the left Side Bar and choose Edit.  Click the 3D Model Settings tab and check Override Default Settings. In the Left Side section, change Rotation to 180º.  Do the same for Right Side as necessary.  Click OK.

I don't think that's really an appropriate solution since I'd have to change literally every single platforms settings manually for it to just work the way it is supposed to. I'll keep it in mind but it should just work with the default resources we're given from the lb database. Also wouldn't this then cause the same exact problem for my spine images then, if I make the default for the spine image 180 degrees then the games that I do have spine images for, which work and are not upside down, would be upside down then.

LIke, Joe was mentioning, it's more of a user controlled thing than it is a theme controlled thing.

However, the direction of the clear logos will be reviewed and any required updating will come in the form of a LaunchBox update. I would probably not bother overriding them for now.

I'm not sure what this view is called, but it is the details of the game when you are not in bigbox mode.

Is there any way to make the black transparent?

 

otherwise great theme!

That isn't from this theme, that is a feature of launchbox. I think if you want that changed you'd have to put in a feature request on bitbucket.

Thanks for confirming. I actually started wondering whether or not this was the right place to ask after I pressed submit. I'll see about putting in a feature request.

Great work on this. I love how clean it all looks. It's great to see the new feature showcased in such an elegant way that lets the 3D boxes shine.

Super awesome theme! Horizontal Wheel 2 for games list is my fave. I don't suppose you could add another version of that with the video and game details super large (taking into consideration not overlapping the game box obviously)? I like my vid and details to be a lot of the screen. Or, would you mind sharing in theme creator format so I could customize it myself? Regardless of your answer, thanks for the hard work. It's fun!

@faeranAgain and always great work faeran!

Tell me I'm having trouble finding the ideal configuration for box 3d on my side I only have blank covers, I don't understand because the files are full:

spin back and front,

I must have skipped a step, it's possible, I don't understand😅

can you tell me what you have to uncheck or not to make them appear and especially where (it does not seem to me that there is a specific menu in big box mode)?!

Thanks in advance !

I think the first thing you should check is whether you have Box - Front images for those games and not 3D Box Images (which won't work in the model).

Also, make sure your Box Front Image Priorities in LaunchBox Options is set up correctly to use your Box Front image types.

You can also refresh the Big Box image cache to see if that helps as well.

Thanks for the suggestion. I probably wont have time to circle back to this theme for a while, but I've noted it down.

This theme currently can't be created in the current version the CTC, but I think when 2.5 comes out you probably could do most of what's being done here. Making edits to the theme's code is an option here for anyone feeling adventurous.

Merci Faeran !

Quelques sueurs froides après une mise à jour qui a bouleversé pas mal de choses dans mes vues coverflow et Le temps de comprendre où va qui va : et surtout qui gère quoi.....

Enfin j'y suis......... Et c'est beau!!!

Voici le résultat sur ma vue cover flow sonic collection !  Thanks  !😇
