  1. I am binging his videos right now in the hopes to get some more answers. Not what i was looking for but quite informative none of the less..!
  2. Hello everyone, I am trying to wrap my head around the Community Theme Creator and thought the forums might be the place to get a couple of answers. I hope this is the right thread, if not please put it where it belongs. So, lets get started. - So i figured out that the Text Games View seems to be the last page before jumping into a game via the wheel. A little like the Game Details Panel in LB can be your last step before booting software. I then tried to find out which view in the editor correlates with which page in BB and for the love of whatever i could not wrap my head around it. I colour coded every view and exported it to BB to see what goes where and.. nothing. PlattformWheel1Filters seems to be the corresponding View for the Platforms/Platform Categorie/Playlist Page but everything else from there - Genres/Devs/Pubs - stays standard. Is there some kind of documentation anywhere which View influences which section of Big Box? If not, please help! - Representing Metadata that i stored via LB works like a charm. Straightforward, wonderful. Funny enough when i tried to represent platforms and and platform categories with clear logos there were already some present. I then tried to find out where their directory is and found them somewhere deeeeeep inside the Launchbox Folder. Ok cool i thought, so is the same possible with developer logos? I use the game logos in my Text Game Views and want to build kind of the same view when selecting a dev or publisher. I am so confused because i cant make out the logic of where goes what. - Ah yeah. Something in the same vein. I have Platform notes but can not figure out where they are stored. Help. - In the Default theme of Big Box there is this very neat "Recents" block that shows items you interacted with recently. Can i build this with the theme creator? I checked out the theme components template inside the creator but found nothing that gave me a clue. Same goes with playing around with the elements in "edit view".. So those are my questions after 1 day of fiddling around with the creator and I want to say : THANK YOU @y2guru for making this piece of software. I could not wrap my head around writing xaml for developing themes and this creator puts so much power in my hands! A thousand thank yous again and also to everyone who helped build this. Please do not stop pushing this forward, this is the key for non coding people in participating in the great thing that is launchbox. All the best to you people!
    A very beautiful theme - working horizontal and vertical - for people who want a clean and not to playful design for their LB App.

    I already got used to it. Of course it would be nice if it just hid itself while not being used, just popping up when you hover near it, but i guess this is not in the realm of possibilities with Launch Box. Would it be possible to change the style of the bar to fit in with the theme? It just drives me crazy to always have this ugly standard bar crash the style of a theme. I get that its wanted when you sort by "studio" or something where you want to know the nominator, but with some orders it just makes no sense - so having it look like it belongs to the theme would already make a big difference. By the way - i noticed my game details not showing the developer, just the publisher - twice. Looks like this. I checked if the info is correct, and it is. Did i do something wrong? And how to get images shown in the "Images" Tab? My entries are populated but I cant find out which Definition to check where to get something showing up there.. Thanks for replying and taking my thoughts into account, very much appreciated!

    Wow. Wow wow wow! Finally a modern minimalist theme that does work in portrait mode. Absolutely gorgeus. Thank you so much, this got me excited about Launchbox again! Please keep supporting and tinkering with it! I tried editing themes with Visual Studio but could not wrap my head around it, so i try to give the best feedback I can. - The control bar and the displayed items seem to overlap, both in portrait and landscape mode. Did i setup something wrong? When i change the vertical spacing LB adjusts the space between the boxes but not the one between top and first row. Is it possible to adjust this? - Is it possible to hide this status bar? It bugs from day one that I have to see this in every theme with every sort option except "title". - I know this seems to be a bit nitpicky, but why not rename the "Retro Achievements" tab into "Achievements"? So that tab would be valid for everyone, collecting retro or modern games.. I have to share this because it looks so beautiful to me. Thank you again and again and again.
