ApexCarpio 1.2

you are spoiling us.😊
This one is more in line with the one I have been using for years (neon deluxe arcade)
Probably I will like this one as well.

Thanks for the effort again. I am going to try it out and let you know if I have something noteworthy to mention.

What a great theme!!

I'm trying to make a very little change, i wont to reduce the size of the font for the game title in game detail.

Thanks for your help.

(And a little request, i dream of finding the same system than OMNI, where you can click for exemple on the developper and that leads directly to the right page)

These are I think changes u can make in the xaml files in the views directory, but I will let Rincewind explain them to you.

If you do a text search for "Binding Title" in the Game Details View then your see a font size change it to a smaller number and see how it looks.

As for the request I'm not sure what the right page would be.

@Rincewind Not sure if this is caused by the type of notification, or it happens with all notifications. 

Anyway, no matter how many times I click the 'X' or click the clear notifications...it doesn't listen. It just stays there.
So, maybe that still needs some looking into?

@launchretrogirl2562 Could you do a little test for me. If you go to "Tools - Downloads - Force Update Games Database Metadata..." and wait for it to finish you should get a notification after that, click the button and see if the "X" works there (it did for me). Also does the "Clear All" button work? The reason I want you to check is because i'm not sure if LB allows you to clear the Version update or not.

I am about to put a new update out for the theme but as I can't replicate your issue (as my version is up to date) I can't test to fix it.

@Rincewind give me a second, I will test it immediately

@Rincewind yes, the notification could be cleared for the metadata database. The version update it seems that indeed that cannot be cleared.
Which is kind of stupid, cause it does say u can clear all notification...not just that particular one 😁 

so, maybe not something u can fix. 
At least I know the button does work (only the text it holds does not quite tick all the boxes)

@Rincewind
I might be overlooking this, what with my new reading glasses and all...but, am I correct in seeing that I can't sort on game title?

@launchretrogirl2562 I'll take a look later but as far as I know theme doesn't control whats in the lost but it might be that it's getting pushed off the bottom. If it's there on other themes then that is probably what is happening.

The theme I used before this one, the Neon Deluxe Arcade does have it, and it is in view.
So judging from that list...for the Apex theme anything below Source is not visible in the sort list anymore, so that would the following ones which are missing:

Star Rating, Status, Title, Version

@launchretrogirl2562 Seems okay on my machine. Can you let me know your screen resolution and windows DPI settings please.

3840x2160 and 150% scale

That's strange, on my monitor it does show the title. Then it must be just my TV who does that...it has 250% scale.
I must have never seen that happen before cause the Neon Deluxe drop down is from all the way in the bottom right corner. Then it never falls off the screen.
But at 250% scale I guess it does.

This is fantastic and finally made me change my theme for good. Any ideas on doing something similar with BigBox? This would look great in bigbox and I'd be absolutely into it. Thanks and great job.

@Rincewind minor issue, and probably due to latest beta updates or since version 14, not sure.

Most of my games in the respective platform xmls did not have the installed attribute.

So the button in the theme mostly always said 'INSTALL'...even when it is just a rom that does not need installing.
So i made some changes in gamedetailsview.xaml to counter that.
And now even without having that <Installed>true</Installed> for each game in each xml, it just shows the play button.

Only for the platforms that actually need it, I made an exception exodos, dreamm, scummVM, scummVM SVN,..

It's not a hassle, just letting u know if u encountered anything like that while u developed the theme

Latest update may have broken the theme.

why u say that? Cause I am also using the theme and I don't see anything that doesn't work.

I'm freezing up in the theme hitting games. I went back to default no issues maybe it's me.

what u mean by hitting games? U mean that now u get the 'install' button instead of the 'play' button?
