I figured it out right before you posted this...I'm getting closer to being a meaningful member of the community. <Image x:Name="BGMask" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="6" Grid.RowSpan="5" Opacity="0.0" Panel.ZIndex="1"> <Image.Style> <Style TargetType="{x:Type Image}"> <Setter Property="Source" Value="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Themes/Simplicity/Images/test.png"/> <Style.Triggers> <DataTrigger Value="Arcade Classics" Binding="{Binding Path=SelectedGame.Platform}"> <Setter Property="Source" Value="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Themes/Simplicity/Images/Arcade Classics.png"/> </DataTrigger> </Style.Triggers> </Style> </Image.Style> </Image>

Grila...here to save me again.... Where is this wonderful documentation you speak of??

Is there a way to determine platform name as a variable within a view? I'd like to implement something but it will change based on currently selected platform.

We have a PM session on this but one additional question. What systems are you looking for that I havent done yet? Or, are you wanting something different from what Ive already done?

Thanks for the replies. Ill halt my attempts until jason sorts it out. It is strange how backgroundvideos do work though with the same code...

I'm running 4:3 in my cabinet. Even videos that are 4:3 leave a small black border.

Thanks Snake but both of these end in the same result. I still have black bars at top and bottom.

Bumping as this cant be that difficult for a smart person!

Will post my ahk script when I get home tonight.

Perfect!!! Thank you!!! Last thing...I posted this but no one replied to the other thread.. You have backgroundvideos enabled here which allows 4:3 videos to fill the screen completely. How can i make the IMAGEVIDEO object do the same thing? I want to make the 4:3 videos play and fill the screen without backgroundvideos enabled as I only want it for certain views. When I try, the videos center and I get a black bar at the top and bottom but backgroundvideos stretch to fill.

I know very little about how to do this..and I am struggling to make it work..mind giving an example?

This is amazing! How would you go about adding an image that displayed only when the wheel was visible? Would be nice if screen could go slightly darker ONLY when the wheel is visible.

I want to fill my 4:3 screen with the game video. If I enable background videos, a 4:3 video will fill the screen. If I dont and use an "IMAGEVIDEO" object, it wont, and leaves a small black bar at the top and bottom. Code I'm using for imagevideo window. <transitions:TransitionPresenter TransitionSelector="{Binding BackgroundTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding ImageVideoView}" Height="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualHeight}" Width="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualWidth}" IsContentVideo="true" />

Are your images cached? (meaning) have you scrolled through that library multiple times. If you hover on one and then com back to it, does the stutter reoccur?

So how would I use the new %gameid% feature? I added a new exe and left no parameters defined. It output the rom path as %1% but nothing for %2% or %3%. How can I get %platform%, etc. to work?

What dictates what %1% returns? What does %2% return? Is there a %3%? How is markmons script calling %platform%?

I completely understand this but how is your LB configured? What command line parameters allow you to read them here?
