[AutoHotKey/AutoIt Smart Switch]

This is completely excellent. I like Autoit much better than AHK.

 

Thank you. 

[marquee monitor problem in bigbox]

Did you ever solve this issue?

I'm working on a script that will get both "LaunchBox Big Box" window handles, then get their current position, disable the marquee monitor, wait for Mame to quit, then move the window back to its original position.

Kind of sucks that there is nothing to easily identify which window is the marquee. I wish they would embed some simple text in the window that you could search against. 

 

[Static marquee for platform view?]

I've fiddled with all the options with no luck. The background transition one seems to do what I want, but only on the primary display. The marquee seems to have it's own, non adjustable transition from what I can tell. 

Any other ideas? Otherwise I'll log a feature request for it. 

Kind of surprised I'm the first with a dynamic marquee on a custom cabinet that wants my artwork to show at the platform view as a static image.

Hmm - who might know about disabling the transition effect for the marquee?

It's 90% where I want it, just wish to disable the little 'pulse' you get when moving from one platform to another.

Hmm. Didn't seem to change my result.

If I add the image source line twice though, I get the normal banner, with my marquee over the top of it.

<Image Source="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Themes/Marquee/Images/Marquee.png" Stretch="Uniform" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" />

<Image Source="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Themes/Marquee/Images/Marquee.png" Stretch="Uniform" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" />

 

I can work with this - is there a way to disable the transition of the marquee? As I scroll through platforms the image briefly dims due to soft transition.

I duplicated the default theme and am editing  the copy named "MARQUEE". The changes stick, like the file isn't reverting. It just doesn't display what I tell it to. I still get the selected platform poster up in the Marquee space.

This is what I was going for - statically assigning the image for the PlatformMarqueeView.xaml.

I dont seem to get what I'm looking for with this code. Maybe this isn't the right spot. I will post in the XAML tips and tricks thread. 

[Static marquee for platform view?]

Hello - I'm wanting to make a static marquee image while navigating platforms, but once selecting a platform have the game dynamic marquees take over.

I tried modifying the platformmarqueeview.xaml to statically define the image I want but it seems to ignore the configuration.

Any ideas to get this set up as a static marquee image?
