    @Kalish777 @Johnny T Version 2.0.10 is now available with a per-screen option for blur-fill background effect. It will work for static images, animated gifs, and videos. Rotating 3-D box models will still have black backgrounds. 

    I'm liking the new feature. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Wow Rob!! You're a fast worker mate. Excellent work. A big thank you for the improvements. I'll look forward to getting this installed on my cab. 

    Many thanks 🙂

    Unfortunately there is no way to use his theme mods directly since I'm not using xaml. I'd have to add a similar effect in the plugin... which I might do because that effect looks awesome.

    That would be brilliant if you could. I second @Kalish777 above that the blurry filler effect is superb and helps to make any marquee look good on any ratio screen. :)

    This is not theme dependant. Add PDF's to the Launchbox/Manual/Name of Platform folder, named the same as the game. You can also add them to the game as "Additional Apps" i believe.

    Thanks Neil, I didn't realise that!! The folder was right in front of me the whole time. Thanks for letting me know matey 🙂

    Hi @Juketsu

    Thanks for releasing this Pause theme. It looks great!

    Where does it search for the 'manual' as per your screenshot?

    I have some Daphne games that I'd like to add Manuals for? Where do I need to put images or whatever in order for your Pause theme to pick them up?

    And, does it work with images or just PDFs?

    Many thanks for all your efforts for the community. I see your name popping up all over the place and it's very much appreciated 🙂

    There were a couple missing that I needed so I just made them myself (Sonic & Knuckles and Thunder Force II).  I'll attach them in case anyone else might want them.  Cheers!

    You might want to try to tweak the theme yourself, if you need to make texts and images bigger.

    Hi @Juketsu

    As others have said, this theme is absolutely beautiful. I think it's the only theme I will ever need on my cab as it really completes the look perfectly.

    There are just a few tiny tweaks that I'd love to do but can't find the source files for this one (you uploaded the source files for the version 1.x). 

    Are the source files for this one uploaded? I've been playing around with the Theme Creator and watching a lot of the You Tube videos on it and, whilst I can't "build" a theme, I can certainly stand on the shoulders of giant (like yourself) and 'tweak' a theme...

    Many thanks for all your hard work and releasing this great theme into the community, you can tell by the outpouring of positive feedback just how great your work is 🙂

    Sorry 'bout that. I will try to remember to see if I can get it uploaded here tonight and get the link changed. It will take it a few hours to upload, and I sometimes have issues uploading to LB. Thanks for kind words and letting me know!

    -Enjoy

    That's great! Thank you for taking the time to do that. Very much appreciated 🙂

    Stretching videos should be possible. Inside your GameMarqueeView.xaml file add the StretchVideo="True" to the video marquee flow video code, which looks like this:

    <coverFlow:FlowVideo x:Name="MarqueeVideo" VideoType="Marquee" DataContext="{Binding SelectedGame}" PlayVideo="True" PlayAudio="False" FallbackToDefault="False" StretchVideo="True">
     

    For anyone else finding this. I managed to get this working and have posted my relevant xaml files in another thread 

     

    I don't want to repost them in here and clutter the thread up but that link might help someone in the future. The videos look amazing on my marquee now thanks to Phil's hard work 🙂

    Wow!! You've been really busy!!

    Great work matey and thanks for letting me know your "method". Not sure how you would use Powerpoint for them but I'm rubbish at PP.

    They look fantastic :)

    Yes!!! @faeran does it again!!! Superb matey! Thank you so much. That worked a treat!!

    I've also just got my head around Big Box Theme Creator this morning for making marquees etc so can adjust the images to make them suit my marquee screen too!

    This is going to make a big difference thanks to @philbobaggins for the videos and you for getting them to look awesome on my marquee screen.

    I'm one happy fella :)

    @philbobaggins I tried your video marquees at the weekend. Unfortunately, due to the my marquee screen being a stretched LCD they don't sit quite right.

    It's such a shame as I absolutely love them!

    My stretched LCD has a 16:3 ratio (I think it's 1366x256 pixels). On the 'image' marquees they can be 'stretched' to fill the screen via the xaml file in the Views folder (GameMarqueeView.xaml) but, I don't think this can be done with video.

    So, I thought about maybe tackling a project like this myself but creating the videos in 16:3 aspect ratio. I wondered if it was possible to understand how you are going about it and then I could maybe use your technique but 'tweak it' for different types of screen?

    Are you using software to do it? Or are you curating each video yourself somehow? 

    It might be beyond my ability to do what you're doing but I thought that if I could find out "how" you were doing it, and manage myself I could have a go then maybe upload them to your GDrive to go as a torrent for a different marquee screen?

    Any help/advice would be great. (Even if it doesn't fit, I still like looking at the waves on the 1943 one in between credits!!!) 🙂
