Just to update, it worked! I'm now improving it and creating custom art, will probably post a final version once I have it, this is how the code looks now.

I'm new do theme creation so things are a little fuzzy. My intention is to create a custom view for a 1920x360 resolution marquee. It should look something like this I was able to add the box and cart bindings, but for some reason, where it should be showing the clear logo, it's showing the original marquee instead 1 - I need BixBox to stop rendering the marquee file and render the clear logo 2 - I don't know how to bind the background image for it to be platform specific 3 - is it possible to make a special view only for arcade games? Those usually have a marquee artwork Here's my current code. I'm using Retro Console Theme Anim V2, but tested it with Default and Unified <UserControl xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:transitions="clr-namespace:Unbroken.LaunchBox.Wpf.Transitions;assembly=Unbroken.LaunchBox.Wpf" xmlns:i="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactivity" xmlns:cal="http://www.caliburnproject.org" mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="360" d:DesignWidth="1920" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Style="{DynamicResource UserControlStyle}"> <!-- GRID DEFINITIONS --> <Grid Height="360" Width="1920" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="3*" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="7*" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="3*" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="3*" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="2*" /> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="5*" /> <RowDefinition Height="1*" /> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <Grid.Background> <ImageBrush ImageSource="H:\LaunchBox\Themes\Custom\Images\Platforms\Banner\Atari 2600.png" Stretch="UniformToFill"> </ImageBrush> </Grid.Background> <!-- GAME MARQUEE --> <Image Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" Source="{Binding Path=SelectedGame.ClearLogoImagePath}" Stretch="Uniform" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" /> <Image Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="0" Source="{Binding Path=SelectedGame.CartFrontImagePath}" Stretch="Uniform" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Center" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" Opacity="0.5" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" > <Image.RenderTransform> <TransformGroup> <ScaleTransform ScaleY="0.8" ScaleX="0.8"/> <SkewTransform/> <RotateTransform Angle="-20"/> <TranslateTransform X="-20" Y="-20"/> </TransformGroup> </Image.RenderTransform> <Image.Effect> <BlurEffect Radius="50"/> </Image.Effect> </Image> <Image Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="0" Source="{Binding Path=SelectedGame.CartFrontImagePath}" Stretch="Uniform" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Center" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" > <Image.RenderTransform> <TransformGroup> <ScaleTransform ScaleY="0.8" ScaleX="0.8"/> <SkewTransform/> <RotateTransform Angle="-20"/> <TranslateTransform X="20"/> </TransformGroup> </Image.RenderTransform> </Image> <Image Grid.Column="3" Grid.Row="0" Source="{Binding Path=SelectedGame.Box3DImagePath}" Stretch="Uniform" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" Opacity="0.5" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" > <Image.RenderTransform> <TransformGroup> <ScaleTransform ScaleY="0.8" ScaleX="0.8"/> <SkewTransform/> <TranslateTransform X="-40" Y="-20"/> </TransformGroup> </Image.RenderTransform> <Image.Effect> <BlurEffect Radius="50"/> </Image.Effect> </Image> <Image Grid.Column="3" Grid.Row="0" Source="{Binding Path=SelectedGame.Box3DImagePath}" Stretch="Uniform" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Center" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" > <Image.RenderTransform> <TransformGroup> <ScaleTransform ScaleY="0.8" ScaleX="0.8"/> <SkewTransform/> <TranslateTransform/> </TransformGroup> </Image.RenderTransform> </Image> </Grid> </UserControl>
