    Frameset and frames page names please

    in Big Box Custom Themes

    Posted

    @MerlinArcade By your options page you are also on the Default Theme, you should never change the Default Theme, instead you should make a copy of the default theme and paste it in the Theme Folder.  Then you should open up BigBox/OptionsPage/ClickOnView and then click on Default to change to The Default Copy and work on that instead, always make a copy of any theme you want to change and then open that Theme in BigBox.

    @MerlinArcade from your above screenshots your Game List View is set on Vertical Wheel 1 which is equal to WheelGamesView.xaml, and your Platform List View is on Platform Wheel 1 which is equal to PlatformWheel1FiltersView.xaml.  The very first page you see when you open up BigBox is the one of the Platform Views you have then to click on one of the platforms ie:arcade nintendo etc in order to see the Game View.  There are different views for both Platforms and Games.  In your Options page you can change the views by clicking on Views then scrolling down to the Platform List View and clicking on it the same with the Game List View.  The code works here is a screenshot of a view i just tried it on, note the white border around the Coverflow also remember for the different items you must change in the code their Column and or Row's reference.

    Default Vertical

    Not at the moment as we would end up with a large black area above and below the background video's and artwork's, as this is a vertical theme for vertical monitors it is up to the user to source Vertical Videos and Artwork themselves at the moment, however i will be revisiting the theme in a few weeks and will try and see if i can do a workaround to sort this out, i may well at that time decide to create a completely new Vertical theme that will allow the user to use normal artwork and video instead i haven't decided yet as i am currently working on 2 new themes at the moment.

    The frameset you are on about would be the Canvas and on top of this would be the grid where you lay the elements you want in the Grid.Column and the Grid.Row.  But what you are showing now would be one of the GameViews such as thisVW1.png.3215b24e4348dc10b90cbde44b32857b.pngWhich is WheelGamesView in the theme folder

    @MerlinArcade Hi 

    What your showing is Default Vertical theme and the PlatformWheel4FiltersView.xaml each element as you can see has its grid co-ordinates such as coverflow which is in Grid.Column="0".  As @CriticalCid pointed out watch the video he linked to, I would also read the Documentation.pdf inside the Launchbox themes folder for descriptions of elements etc.

    1     <coverFlow:FlowControl x:Name="FlowControl" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="0" CoverFactory="{Binding CoverFactory}" ImageType="Clear Logo" CurveAmount="0" CameraZPosition="2.85" VisibleCount="16" PageSize="6" Spacing="1.05" ItemZPosition="1.05" SelectedItemZPosition="2.0" />
        (Line 22)

    2    <transitions:TransitionPresenter Grid.Column="1" TransitionSelector="{Binding DetailsTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding DetailsView}" Margin="0,0,0,0" />
        (Line 46)

    3    <transitions:TransitionPresenter Grid.Column="1" TransitionSelector="{Binding ImageVideoTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding ImageVideoView}" IsContentVideo="true" Grid.Row="2" Margin="0,0,2,0" />
        (Line 45)

    4    <transitions:TransitionPresenter Grid.Row="3" TransitionSelector="{Binding TopBoxesTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding TopBoxesView}" />
        (This is where the Favourites show, Line 48)

    5    <transitions:TransitionPresenter Grid.Row="5" TransitionSelector="{Binding BottomBoxesTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding BottomBoxesView}" Margin="0,0,0,0" />
        (This is where the Recent show, Line 49)

    See ScreenshotPW4.png.a2b1dab59b5bb110cf93db87f6c6bf53.png

    Also the Whole background art is 

     <transitions:TransitionPresenter TransitionSelector="{Binding BackgroundTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding BackgroundView}" Height="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualHeight}" Width="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualWidth}" IsContentVideo="true" />
            <Grid Height="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualHeight}" Width="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualWidth}">
                <Grid.Background>
                    <SolidColorBrush Color="Black" Opacity="{Binding BackgroundFade}" />
                </Grid.Background>

    (Line 12 to 16)

     

    Platform videos and platform logos not showing up in Big Box mode

    in Troubleshooting

    @cheetahman91 The view your using doesn't use video you have to change the view, the easiest way is to set up a controller key or keyboard key for switching views see screenshot

    CM.pngTo turn background video options-check use platform background videos, unchecking will allow the small videos, not all views have video see screenshot

    BV.pngTo show BigBox where your platform videos are in Launchbox tools/manage platforms click on each platform and in the details tab show your video path see screenshot
