    More information about "SciDoc 16.10"

    Version 1.0.1

    490 downloads

    Hi All Here is my New Theme Scidoc. LaunchBox Beta 7.16 up needed. IMPORTANT MUST READ: Inside the zip SciDoc 16.10 is a folder called SciDoc this is the folder you must cut out and place in your theme folder! have only tested and compiled this on a 16.10 Monitor hopefully it should also work fine on 16.9 Monitors as i do not have one to test it on. Unzip and Copy or Cut the Folder Scidoc and place inside your Theme Folder in LaunchBox. All the views are done it is almost fully skinned from top to bottom including the Bigbox page and the Options page as well as the Music Popup. A toal of 5 Platform Views and 11 Game Views. In the Images folder for PlatformWheel3FiltersView there is an Overlay3NOSCANLINES.png Just remane it to Overlay3.png for No Scanlines in that platform view. In the Coverflow with Details views just overwrite and Save in Notepad++ <Grid.Background> <ImageBrush ImageSource="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Themes/SciDoc/Images/CoverDetailsOverlay.png" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" /> </Grid.Background> with <Grid.Background> <SolidColorBrush Color="Black" Opacity="{Binding BackgroundFade}" /> </Grid.Background> If you do not like the Overlay with the theme. To use this theme fully turn off Platform Video Backgrounds and Game Video Backgrounds. Platform videos for this theme should be in 16.9 aspect ratio but should also work with 4.3 Videos as well as i have created the overlays to take advantage of the way 4.3 videos left align themselves. There should hopefully be no problems with the 640x480 Game videos in the game views. Inside the Platform Folder you will find a folder called Clear Logo, inside this folder you will find 59 Blue Platform Logo's, as well as one Blank Logo. For platform logo's you are missing resize and paste a clear logo in any art program onto this blank logo and rename to the desired platform name. Always keep the Blank Logo as a Template. All Videos supplied with the theme are recorded from the visualizer milkdrop by me and are free under the BSD licence as far as my checking could acertain. With many thanks Maddoc1007.

Sorry for the Video Lag my computer doesn't like recording software. Thank you @CriticalCid for showing us how to use background videos, Thanks also to @Nyny77, @viking and @BakerMan for their awesome Theme videos and to all the other theme creators. Also thanks to @Jason Carr for his help.

    @CriticalCid That's not the case the command was Box, coverFlow:FlowControl x:Name="FlowControl" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Row="7" Grid.RowSpan="4" CoverFactory="{Binding CoverFactory}" ImageType="Box" This then would use what ever image you had set for that particular platform in LaunchBox see screenshots of beta 15 with both my own 3d boxes and Boxes that beta 16 then broke, but thank you and @Jason Carr for letting me know that it is now hardcoded to the image type ie Boxes, 3D Boxes etc. which works out equally as well.

    @Jason Carr I see the changes that you made to the last Beta now make it impossible to use any coverflow image in the newly added Game Views Horizontal Wheel 1, Horizontal Wheel 2 and Horizontal Wheel 3 will now only use Clear Logo's a change that was made for one theme is this going to be the case that we can not now use the Box's in these views? i would really like an answer because i have put a lot of hard work and time and had it set up before you brought about the change that only clear logo's work now, into my new theme SciDoc and thought i would have uploaded days ago,so a final answer would be appreciated as to whether this is indeed the fact and if it is then i can make the change and finally upload my theme.

    Here is a video of the 11 GameViews in my New theme SciDocwhich take account for the new views added, i apologise for the bad quality as my computer doesn't like recording software. Also sorry for the delay in uploading the theme as i am awaiting @Jason Carr to fix Wheelsgameview1, 2, 3 which broke the coverflow in the last beta however it works perfectly fine in beta 15 as you can see from the video i am also awaiting further folder support in the theme images/platform for user designated folders so i can add a folder there called marquee if Jason that is possible. My theme is completed in both flavours for all and will upload as separate 4.3 and 16.9 when Jason lets me know when fixes are done (as after all he is only one man who works his socks off). I will start the Vertical Default theme immediately these items are fixed.

    @igotdvds Love your Marquees could you if possible do some generic marquees for the platforms themselves without games boxes but with the consoles on them these are very well done and look fantastic KUDOS.

    @Jason Carr Latest beta has broken coverflow images in the new views HorizontalWheel1, HorizontalWheel2, and HorizontalWheel3, they are just showing blank with LaunchBox Logo. I had to revert back to beta 15 and they work again.
  9. Maddoc1007
    @Lynxai You'll have me blushing, i know what that's like having a daughter myself. Hopefully will be starting on it next week as have my other theme SciDoc almost finished.
  10. Maddoc1007
    Restart your computer and try again or use task manager to see if there is an instance of LaunchBox/BigBox running in the background that hasn't closed fully or the images folder\.background is still open.
  11. Maddoc1007
    All going well will have it finished before then Lol
  12. Maddoc1007
    @lordmonkus Willy Wonka Time is almost on us already LOL
  13. Maddoc1007
    I will be doing a default vertical theme in a few weeks once im finished the theme SciDoc i'm currently working on I asked Jason (as it is his default theme) and he said it was ok for me to go ahead and upload once it finished, so if people can hold on one will be coming.

    @SentaiBrad That was a question that was asked by @cammelspit on mondays twitch that i watched yesterday about the flickering and @Jason Carr said it should be set at 512 and cammel tested it and said it stopped the flickering and it worked for me as well.
  15. Maddoc1007
    @Jason not long finished watching your latest twitch was very good looks like i'll have to skin some new views lol,
  16. Maddoc1007
    @draxxdk @SentaiBrad is right your default cache in LaunchBox is set to probably 300mb it must be set to at least 512mb in order to stop the flickering

    Have done changes in the 4.3 version it will play both 16.9 and 4.3 platform videos so hopefully will be uploading new theme in a few days and a version for 16.9 videos both fully completed from top to bottom.
  18. Maddoc1007
    @andi massey My Glass theme works on 4.3 Monitors and i will be uploading a new theme in a few days am just waiting on a computer accessory to finish it off fully it will come in a 4.3 version as well but the platform videos must be in 16.9 format, You will be able to use 4.3 format platform videos on it as well just they will be a bit smaller and left aligned but i have created the theme to take full account of this fact. Link to video of my new theme.

    @Jason Carr I tried to upload a video of my new theme SciDoc to the Video section both in Demo and Development but it keeps giving me an oops error and wont upload, it is a YouTube video it will upload on the forum but not the video section.
  20. Maddoc1007
    Here is a video of my new theme it will be a few days before i upload it as am waiting on a computer accessory to finish it all platform and game views have been finished as well as BigBox screen and options screen skinned as well as music popup. Sorry for the poor quality and the bad lag as my computer does not like recording software, i hope you like what you see.
  21. Maddoc1007
    @Jason Carr Thanks Jason looking forward to when you add folder support to such a fantastic addition KUDOS and to a @SentaiBrad tutorial after 7.0 is live.

    @Jason Carr Apologies figured it out some more single music tracks will play one by one or by button press once set up for in Music/Background folder for platforms in BigBox. In BigBox i had view set in Games to Coverflow no music per game in this view but in the other game views music once named after game or .m3u named after game will play after each other or by button press once set up definitely needs a tutorial of the music features, Kudos a wonderful feature once you get your head around it.
  23. Maddoc1007
    @Jason Carr Figured it out was expecting the music to play per platform but it had to be named per game instead so it is working ok both indivudual tracks and .m3u. But while music will play per platform in BigBox, Bigbox still refuses to play .m3u even if named after game scroll to game nothing same also for platforms or has .m3u to be named as platform? I think a better explanation of the music or a tutorial for the music should be done.
  24. Maddoc1007
    @Jason Carr Music is not showing up in Launchbox see screenshot even though in Launchbox/Music/Background and autoplay turned on yet is working in BigBox
