Overall it's a nice theme, Clearly there has been a lot of effort put into it. Room for improvement. Remove the fake plastic over the box videos or make it drastically less invasive somehow. Bottom line, it annoys me and very much not to my taste. Remove the cover box remaster logo where the video plays and also in the bottom left off the main screen... I know you made the theme, I don't need it staring in my face all the time. I have an upper-mid level spec'd PC and my machine bogs down often trying to run this theme. Remove the big box logo that appears on the video, in between loading videos I have several favorited games (specifically on nintendo, I haven't checked other ones), the main screen displays a 'favorite games' section that is blank even though i do have favorites When a theme doesn't exist and a default theme is loaded, remove the mortal kombat guy.......it's annoying after several system loads. I see this is addressed in the notes, but I do want to mention that I have over 100 different systems and most are not covered. Not sure what the order of implementation for addressing this is, but I would have preferred that it was more ready to go, out of the box, the implementation strategy seems to be geared towards modern systems....atari...older nintendo, intellivision, mame, casio, wondervision, are skipped. I see that this is on the list to be improved, I just hope that most are covered in the future....with the performance concerns already, I feel like this theme will run into the same issues that I had with theme development which is that a theme gets so big that bigbox becomes unusable due to the nature in which the code is structured/compiled/cached....best of luck.

For whatever reason, I am not able to get this plugin to show up in launchbox, I am downloading the package and installing it in the plugins folder, but It seems to be nowhere to be found after starting launchbox. In the instructions/screenshots on the main page, I am not able to tell what the 3rd screenshot is...it's either the plugins main folder or the core folder, I have tried putting the .dll file in both locations, but either way, still, don't see the plugin after starting launchbox...It's been a few years since this plugin has been updated...has it broken with later versions of launchbox?

In process of making unique fonts and colors for each system, some are turning out better than others, overall I'm really excited about it. The controllers displayed are the ones i use to play the system, not what's accurate to the system itself.

Kodi addon for LaunchBox
Shredder_guitar commented on CoinTos's file in Third-party Apps and Plugins
The fact that advanced launcher sucks.... I've been wanting to get away from that for years. There's notification screens at the top that you can't shut off and a very large delay between selecting the .exe in question and the program actually loading...seemingly for no reason whatsoever than code bloat. My experience with this add on is much cleaner by comparison... I wish something had existed for hyperspin many years ago, but i've since dumped that now ....and advanced launcher. -

I got tired of waiting for a modification for a splash screen for this so I modded the Bigbox launcher-AHK script, this will display a splash screen by the name of fanart.jpg located in the same folder as the script...script must be located in "..\userdata\addon_data\script.launchbox.launcher\scripts" Feel free to update the main file with this script or make your own version of the same idea. I just wanted a smoother transition from kodi to launchbox. BigBoxLauncher-AHK.ahk -
Well, here's the absolute best I could get it after a solid day and a half of messing with settings on nothing but this wheel, I'm going to hate it forever because I wanted more curve to it, this is more like a bump, I wanted more of a circular kinda thing, but in case it's helpful to someone else I'm posting the settings on here, if someone can improve upon this in CTC, please let me know. Which produces this....

Circling back on this, I was able to get the CSC files and work from there, only real issue i have now is with the wheel, I absolutely cannot get it to look correct. This is what It looks like when it's first imported, I've tried everything under the sun to make it look proper. After an entire day of tinkering (literally) this was the best i could get it to look. This is what i want it to look like, ideally, (i photoshopped this) can someone tell me what settings I need to have to do this? I've even tried looking at xaml settings in another theme and i just cannot seem to get it to do what i want it to do.

I appriciate the sharing, but I don't think this is going to work in my case, I would need the raw txt files done in CTC to be able to view the settings in CTC.... For anyone reading this Here is where I'm trying to get too... I did this in photoshop Here is where I'm currently at after spending literally 3/4 of a day trying to tinker with settings... I dont' know if this is a me problem, a comprehension problem or if the wheel settings in particular are just so abysmal that I can't get to where I'm trying to achieve... I don't feel like I'm asking a lot...here, but I have no clue what the settings actually do when i change a value and nothing i seem to change gets me closer or farther too it. This is a great tool for a lot of things...but these wheel setting items are just not working for me.

launchbox The Ultimate Magazine Experience
Shredder_guitar replied to a topic in Collections and Builds
I love this idea, I don't have the bandwidth for this right now but I would love to contribute somehow, most of my mags are from retromag...comics on the other hand... I have yet to find a desirable...palletable, book viewer...there's good ones out there like moon reader pro and comic rack...but each one has their own shortcomings. This flip pdf thing looks interesting....cashy, but interesting. -

Sorry for the lame question, but what do i do with these? I've tried putting them in several places within CTC, but I can't get them to show up...what is the proper place that they should go? I know that I could put it in a theme folder after it's already been exported, but then I won't be able to view it in CTC, which is really what I need, I've already been trying to look at the raw xaml code, but can't seem to cross ref title values properly enough to make the wheel look right.

Awesome, thank you! I'll check these out

What are your wheel edits? I'm having a very hard time getting wheel settings to look good, my wheel looks more like a bump than a proper curve
