#07. Option & change :

Thx to @Nyny77 :
 On the platform view, to replace the DATE by the NUMBER OF GAMES :

  • Find the good platform view file  (like "PlatformWheel1FiltersView.xaml")
  • In file, find these line : 
    <!--"DATE" IN SMALL LINE-->
            <Viewbox StretchDirection="DownOnly" Stretch="Uniform" Grid.Row="2">
            <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.ReleaseDate, StringFormat=yyyy}" Foreground="#393a3b" FontFamily="Segoe UI Semilight" FontSize="40" TextAlignment="Center" Opacity="0.9"/>
            </Viewbox>
  • Delete these lines and replace them with these : 
    <!-- PLATFORM TOTAL GAMES -->
            <TextBlock Grid.Row="2"  Text="GAMES AVAILABLE: " Foreground="#393a3b" FontFamily="Segoe UI Semilight" FontSize="40" TextAlignment="Left" Margin="750,0,0,0"/>
            <TextBlock Grid.Row="2"  Text="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.TotalGameCount}" Foreground="#393a3b" FontFamily="Segoe UI Semilight" FontSize="40" TextAlignment="Left" Margin="1100,0,0,0"/>

Hi

 

Well done for your hard work.

Being familiar with Retropie, I really like the emulationstation theme.One suggestion regarding the Games Available option (#07). The margins for this don't look right. I had a play around with it and think the code you should replace with should be:

 <!-- PLATFORM TOTAL GAMES -->
              <TextBlock Grid.Row="2"  Text="GAMES AVAILABLE: " Foreground="#393a3b" FontFamily="Segoe UI Semilight" FontSize="40" TextAlignment="Left" Margin="550,0,0,0"/>
              <TextBlock Grid.Row="2"  Text="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.TotalGameCount}" Foreground="#393a3b" FontFamily="Segoe UI Semilight" FontSize="40" TextAlignment="Left" Margin="950,0,0,0"/>

The text alignment of 550 & 950 respectively seems to mirror the original a little closer. I have also found that if you edit this in platformwheel2filtersview instead this gives a theme again closer to the original. 

Personal preference I suppose, but some might find this useful.

Once again, thanks for the theme!

I've always been a fan of the looks of EmulationStation, but the fact that it had been abandoned and the fact that Launchbox is far more user friendly kept me with Launchbox.

Now I've got the best of both worlds. This theme is beautiful, clean, and functional. I couldn't ask for a better theme, really. Many thanks to Viking for making it.

Being a Raspberry Pi 3 owner myself and having a full Emulation Station setup, I really like this! Hope to see it progress :)

Awesome beginings to something that can really grow! Sure you may just have the intro screen banner set up as a concept but that is how all greatness starts is with an idea. I hope you release a vesion 1.2 or 1.3 up to version 10 in the days, weeks or months to come. Look forward to seeing your next iterations. 

Peace

Donatello
