I am looking at updating the theme right away (within a few days)

Can be the video background...
Thanks
I'll look into this issue, I tested the theme on version 7.0 and it seemed ok. Are you using VLC or Media Player?

Hey Jason,
I've been experimenting with themes today and noticed system videos were now resizing based off the cell size they are contained in now, awesome. I did notice though that the alignment of the videos never really fits with the horizontal or vertical alignment. I understand this was always a problem in version 6 but am not aware if this was something you have messed around with since October till now. So, is it broken because it is something VLC does not like, am I doing something wrong or is there a bug still here?

So I did not have time to update everything I needed to so I will have to save the update for tomorrow. Sadly, some of the things I was planning on updating required some of the original photoshop files I created for the project and, lo and behold, I accidentally deleted them a few weeks ago.
I may have to spend an hour or two recreating some of the graphics before I can do anything else.

I'll be posting a small update with some alternative views tonight or tomorrow for a couple requests.
I will also be fixing a few small bugs that have popped up, this release will take it out of Beta.

How about an option to bring back scanlines on Platform Videos like in the earlier version of your theme?
My favorite theme, though!
Thanks!
What do people think about the scan lines in the 4:3 view and clean in the 16:9?
Unfortunately, it's not a feature I can just turn on and off, either the view has it or it does not.
-
I will be doing another update next week. Please submit any bugs or requests and I will try my best to get to them.
I will be adding a 16:9 Game View and updating the Games Details View and a few smaller bug fixes I missed when I went to 2.0 Beta.

I would love to have launchbox ignore the windows DPI settings. Text is larger and margins don't look the same when the DPI is set to a higher rate. I myself have a higher DPI running on my HTPC.
Themes are never designed with DPI in mind and either ignoring DPI or adding a setting to turn it on or off would be helpful for HTPC users .
-
thanks for the kind words everyone. I may do one more update in a few weeks time and call this theme completed... pending any new theming features.
I do plan to build 16:9 games view as well, we shall see.
Again, requests are always accepted. If you do enjoy using the theme please leave a review on the downloads page.

@Hexxxer Awesome additions to 2.0. I love how this theme is so clean and beautiful. I read the channel log that you added some videos but there is not a videos folder in the theme folder although I do see a new background animated video in BigBox.
The Videos are in the images folder, I only added the to a Video thumb nail view and onto the options menu (for now, they really kill performance in other areas). If you can't get it working let me know.

Updated to version 2.0 Beta, there may be bugs. If you use it please let me know of any issues.

yes something like that.
The problem though is I don't want this particular theme for every game, hence the desire for system enabled themes. That and the fact it would be nice to use specific views for 4:3 systems and 16:9 systems

I don't know if anyone here is interested or not since my use case for BigBox is much different than most (modern PC and Console games --not retro games) but here's a video I created regarding how to do some customizations for this theme like removing scanlines and getting 16:9 aspect ratio videos to render properly
I like this. Have you posted this as it's own topic in the forum?

Hello everyone,
I am pretty swamped this week and won't be able to finish my update to this theme. Hopefully something may come out this weekend but I can't say for sure. It will be worth the wait.

There is just a little adjust for the wheel system and games
I think you may need to manually make some adjustments to the wheels in each of the views.
look for this line:
<coverFlow:FlowControl x:Name="FlowControl" Margin="0,0,0,0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="10" Grid.RowSpan="24" CoverFactory="{Binding CoverFactory}" ImageType="Clear Logo"
CurveAmount="0" CameraZPosition="3.3" VisibleCount="20" PageSize="6" Spacing="1" ItemZPosition="1.0" SelectedItemZPosition="2.0" Panel.ZIndex="100" />Change the spacing to something that looks better on your PC. 1.5 should work.

Hi!
What an incredible theme! Thanks a lot!
If its possible, I have a question. Please check the attached image. The image that appears in the game view is a stretched game logo. I wanted to show the first screenshot of the game. Is that possible?
Thanks in advance!
Diego.
That is not something I can do with the theme, what shows up there is pre-determined by big box... it's a setting within launch box I believe that chooses what type of image shows up there instead of the clear logo.
-
I'll have a look at this tomorrow.
-
Thanks for the feedback everyone. I am planning to do a chunk of updates next Wednesday.
If there is any additional feedback or requests please let me know before then.

That sounds really cool Hexxer, I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Your theme is great and some people in the stream didn't even no about it and thought it looked great. Could I ask for one request please? Can you do one of your little logos i.e. broken,favorite for portable?
Thanks again man.
The next update I do on this will include a new icon.

Updated Theme to version 1.6
Users must be on beta 7 to upgrade.
Changes
Updated for the 7.0 Beta (to use this file you bust be upgraded to 7.0)
-Added Details View for 16:9 new System Videos
-Updated older views to stretch on different resolutions (see screenshots)
System Views
Platform Wheel 1 - this is 4:3 images and keeps details to a minimal
Platform Wheel 2 - A quasi-widescreen view, somewhere in between 4:3 and 16:9, Keeps a minimal detail view
Platform Wheel 4 - 16:9. The selection wheel is smaller to fit a 16:9 Video.
I have had minimal time to update so there may be bugs, please let me know as soon as possible if there are.

@Hexxxer Jason just showed off your theme on the live stream and he didn't now there was a widescreen version!!! lol I put him right though. He then went on to mention you have been talking with each other!! I look forward to news.
Well, to be fair, the widescreen format I have made is not a proper 16:9 version. I am working on a new system view with a smaller wheel that displays system information and ,either recently played or favorites. I may alter some of the images so they scale on different resolutions as well.
Honestly it's what ever I can squeeze into a 2 hour period this week!

Futurestate Theme
in Big Box Custom Themes
Posted
I'm guessing it's an issue with shadows on the wheels. It's seems to kill performance. I'll upload a new version for you to test in a few hours.
