    Hi

    I finaly found the time to work on this theme for launchbox again.
    I'm using the theme creator tool and I must stay it has come a long way. 
    Realy impressive! 

    This is what I had for RetroFE and want to achieve for Bigbox: https://www.youtube.com/@mikomieanatawabe623/videos

    However I could use some help if anyone is willing :D

    • There is only one wheel allowed, i think i might get arround with mirroring it somehow. Tips are welcome
    • I've run into a probem where Bigbox doesn't render my mp4 video for the category menu properly (colors are off)
      I have no clue how I can fix this at this time, if anyone knows the answer, please do tell.
    • I'm also looking for a missing vector for the Atari 400 clear logo, if anyone has this and is willing to share
    • For the games menu I would like to hide the video and only show it after a second of stopping on navigating.
      Then I would like to hide that selected clearlogo and render one on top that animates to the top of the screen.
      I'm still unsure of how to achieve this. (check my youtube chanel if my explanation is unclear :D )

    Current progress

    • System layout v0.1 is ready
    • Platforms (Systems) layout v0.1 is ready
    • In pogress: Platform Categories (System Categories) layout
    • To do: Games select layout

    Cya soon

    Hi  @HannesRoets

    This theme is very nice.
    Could you tell me what icons you have used to show the processor, year of release and total games.

    Or if you can share them I would be very grateful.

    Great job.

    Yeah sure, contact me on Discord. HannesRoets#0770

    Hi

    I've been gone for a while. It's been a rough time for me so I was unable to continue to work on this theme. 
    For those interested I will be working on this theme in the near future. Right now I'm working hard to finish this theme for another front-end.
    When done I will be porting it over launchbox as my end goal is to move from my old front end to launchbox.
     

    cheers

    Hi @HannesRoets. There's a possibility that this theme requires an updated plugin. I'll need to get around to doing that at some point.

     

    Hi, any idea on what plugin that might be? thnx
    edit: are you sure it's a plugin? there is no such icons in any of the theme folders.

    Ah, eureka! Progress :D
    Unfortunatly it only small caps worked when i added it into the xaml.
    But I could just edit my photoshop files to match the current size of the normal caps.

    However, i also ran into a problem where the manufacturer doesn't push asside the system name.
    I come from a html/css background and what i wanted to do was something like this: 

    <span style=font-size:60px;color:rgba(0,0,0,0.67);font-family:'Barlow Condensed';><span style="font-weight:light;text-transform:uppercase">Capcom</span><span style="font-weight:bold;text-transform:uppercase">Play system II</span></span>

    Is there a way to achieve this behaviour? Or what would be realy nice is to be able to convert html & inline css to xaml ^^

    thanks!

    Wow that helps a lot! 

    Few questions:

    • how do i capitalize my font?
    • how do i use the condensed style of my font? i can only choose italic and normal, regular and bold. (i have medium, light, ultra light, ...)
    • my font's don't seem to load in bigbox, only in the editor, do i need to place them inside launchbox somewhere?
      edit: found the solution: had to place my fonts in the theme folder inside launchbox folder.

    Thanks in advance
