Exactly! That's right. Thanks!!

Hey @faeran , Is there any standard followed required by the dev crew about these terms, or does that change with the theme?
-
@AsparagusTrevor, thank you for your goodwill! As I said, Flikbox is beautiful and performs very well. I've been using it lately and found some interesting improvement points. Other points however are aesthetic and obviously you should approve. Well, let's start with the aesthetics: Maybe it was intentional, but I noticed none of the game view show their platform logo. Is that OK? The data/time item is interesting and many people want it. But I think at certain screen location end up limiting creativity. Maybe you could try other locations or even remove it completely. Now to the suggestions. The following images are mockups. I have no skill with creating themes. OK, let's go! Our theme focuses on black and uses beautiful dark gradients. I particularly love it so much. But it's important to create some kind of backlight for some objects, like these logos and box, so they don't mix too much with the black background: Next, most suggestions focus on selected objects. I increased the clear logo size and moved some object positions: The next view has a redundant element, which is the Clear Logo on top and on the wheel. You can add a selection ring to highlight the selected logo game or better, change the code to use another element on the wheel: In this wall view, the clear logo and the database game info are conflicting with the game boxes. All of them can dynamically change size or position depending on the selected game. So the area to their right should always stay clean. You could lock the clear logo area. But it can be bad for very wide logos. I encourage you to try the other wall views themes. If you still want to modify yours, I have two suggestions: Well, that's all for now! I hope you will consider some of these changes, really relevant points. Keep up your good work, my dear. This theme could get even better! -
Fantastic! Hey @AsparagusTrevor The theme is really beautiful and from the little I've tested it performs well. I found some points of improvement. I'm sure you probably know a lot of them. I ask you, are you open to feedback and suggestions for improvement?

Hello everybody! I would like to ask the community for help, especially the devs, because my problem is really strange. Since this happens in more than one theme, I thought it was important to report to the community and not just the themes support page. There is something causing a slowdown when browsing arcade game lists, but only arcade games. This is happening in three of the new themes I tested, namely Pulse, Sleepstream and Playbox 6. . Important points in the analysis: No bugs in any other category of said themes No bug on recent Flikbox theme No bug on BigCouch theme No bug on Colorful theme No bug on Default BigBox theme My specs: Ryzen 3 - 2200G Nvidia GTX 1050 Kingston 16GB 2400MHZ SSD for installation All games and LaunchBox are on the same SSD. I made this video below, I used Pulse to demonstrate. Sorry for the bad mobile recorded video: BigBoxArcadeListPerformance.mp4 -
OK. Thank you for your time. As my problem is not unique to a single theme, I will take the matter to the forum in general, because I fear I will have the same problem in future themes.
-
Well I appreciate you. But I expected your longer answer. 😀 Just wanted to make sure the points I mentioned, because I really got lost with Pulse for the first few hours. I love Pulse and want to keep using it anyway. I have no intention of changing the theme. Honestly, Sleepstream is less beautiful in small details. However, I need some help from the community and from you, to understand what might be causing performance problems in arcade playlists. This does not happen with older themes. But I noticed that some of the new themes have the same problem. Pulse and also Sleepstream suffer from the same ailment. I just can't quickly browse arcade game playlists. I take about 3 switching between games. 😲 My games are installed on the same SSD as the BigBox. Everything works fine for other platforms and I browse through their lists without any slowdowns or stutters. Could you please help me with this?

Hi All! I started using pulse effectively today. Really a great theme. Congratulations to author @Juketsu ,I just think theme deviates a little from the standards in the way of using images. This left me a bit confused and it took me a few hours to find myself. I still have a performance issue which I will bring up separately at some point. For now, could you help me with the questions below? Pulse does not use images from Banner or Fanart folders to platforms. That's right? Horizontal Wheel Views (1,2,3) do not consider Front Box image for the background as a second alternative. Was that intentional? Pulse uses devices images as background, instead of the Fanart folder. We have to use the ones that serve all the places where they appear. Do you intend to change that? Horizontal Wheel 1 and 2 are the same, except that on the second, there is a video transition from the center to the left and both use a box front wheel. One of your posted images , uses clear logos instead. How did you do it? It seems Wheel Platform 3, banners have lower image quality. Compared to the other views, they look a little blurry to me. Maybe it needs tweaking the code to render better. Could you guide me how to improve? I have a Platform called "Arcade All" which gathers all arcade games and was scraped as arcade. Pulse is using this platform's logo for all Playlist Arcade. It seems to be a problem specific to this theme. The curious thing, there are views where the logos appear correctly. See below, NeoGeo MVS playlist test. Do you intend to fix this? Thanks in advance!

Ahhh, with the right information, things work fine now. Thank you very much @neil9000!! It's not enough to change the colors code, we need to change the platform name to match what the theme asks for. I had to change the lines below and then adjust the color value for both. I'll do this for all the other views. Before: After: @faeran , I wonder why we don't have these views based on the scraped name instead of the name given by the user. 🤨

Guys, I could not correct the Super Nintendo Color. Apparently there is some bug with this platform. On my system it's called Nintendo Super NES and was duly scraped as Super Nintendo Entertainment System. I already changed the color code in the xaml and still nothing changes. Please, could someone help me to fix it?
-
Thanks @neil9000, but I looked at all files where this information appears, even in the one you recommended, the color values are exactly as they should. But the colors still show the default green: EDIT: Yeah... the problem was case sensitive. But it is strange the PC Engine CD was No Case and had the correct colors. When in doubt, I renamed all Nec to NEC. It's OK now. Thanks anyway.
-
Hey @faeran , Is there any way to correct the colors by manually editing some text file? I looked in the folder theme, found info on TextListView, TextGamesView, Wheel2GamesView, TextFiltersView and WheelGamesView, but it looks like the color control is not coming from these. Nothing change! Please, Help us!

Martin, este fórum é internacional. Não vai conseguir apoio usando outro idioma. Estou respondendo porque conheço o português. Mas recomendo que use ao menos um tradutor para tentar obter respostas sobre o seu problema. Boa sorte!

Well, this is an interesting point. I think we should ask users what really makes sense, because people are paying to have BigBox. Do we have a specific forum to bring our ideas? If yes, can you please post the link? Technically, anything is possible with programming, but if all the answers lead the user to create their own modifications, this can be a little frustrating. I'm not a coder. Although I have made small changes to some themes, it was all out of curiosity. Personally, I have no idea how to create an entire view for BigBox.
-
Well, I don't think you understand. My idea is to have a start menu first of all. By choosing a category, you would have access to all the features we already know, including videos. I just think we should have a screen to make choices, rather than starting with video or active platform.
-
Yeah! Okay guys, sorry if I wasn't clear. I made this mockup image to illustrate what I imagine we should have after the splash screen:
-
I mean a real home menu. What we have is just direct access to screens. When you turn on your game console, for example, it doesn't put you right into a gameplay. Movies have opening or opening credits, PC software always waits for an initial decision. So why can't BigBox offer me an initial choice through a menu? Well, I'm not sure if it's possible to get what I want. But none of these options give me a home menu. They just take me straight to each of them:
-
I was wondering why we can't have a home screen where we can make a first choice after opening BigBox... 🤨 It doesn't have to be mandatory. But it would be really cool if we had a welcome screen with a list of the main categories, for example: Welcome to BigBox "Colorful" ! Please choose a category below or press X to continue where you left off: Arcade Console Computers Handhelds Pinball ... I believe, for a paid product more than a decade old, we should be evolved. Please, consider!

Hey @Dan Patrick , Would it be possible to include a future update, category logos, like arcade ones? It would be great to have same standard, to serve consoles, handhelds, computers and so on... Thanks! -
Sorry guys, I don't know what's going on. I cannot download these files. Do you think there is any restriction on my username? I've tried in other browsers and still the same error. EDIT: Sorry guys. The popup blocker was blocking the links.

No for me:

Sorry, I've never used CTC before. I am gonna try. But these links not working. Am I doing something wrong?
