[COMMUNITY Theme Creator for BigBox 1.0.9.0 Livestream 10/10/20 @10am cst]

So 4pm here in the UK, awesome ? 

[COMMUNITY Theme Creator for BigBox 1.0.9.0 - Container UI Elements]

AMAZING!!! Just what we needed for the editor, that is perfect. So we can now not only stack elements but also move all the elements at the same time as a group. You have truly out done yourself this time. Well worth the wait, Thank you so much @y2guru

This theme is a take on the game Rogue Company, I just liked the way it looked while playing the game so made a theme based around it. I will add and tweak the theme over time but as it stands there are 2 Platform views, 2 Games views and the Settings view.

Massive thanks goes to @y2guru  for his amazing COMMUNITY Theme Creator for BigBox, without his work in creating this simple to use theme design program I couldn't have made this theme.

[COMMUNITY Theme Creator for BigBox 1.0.8.8 now available]

WOW!! This version is awesome, not only can we add a coloured tint to a image we can even keep the transparency by simply selecting "current image" in the  opacity mask drop down. Hats off this is a great feature, one of the best i think  

[COMMUNITY Theme Creator for BigBox - Themes to Date]

Great to see just how many great themes have already been made using the theme creator.

[XAML Tips and Tricks]

@wallmachine Try adding your the Text Clearlogo Images you use into the BigBox Media Overrides / Images / Platform Catagories / Clear Logo folder.  

[LV-101 Theme Community Creator Tool Files]

Great theme and thank you for sharing the theme creator project files.

[Chrome Metal]

@Retro808 They should be up there now mate.

[Chrome Metal]

Yes it is, I will upload the new theme with the quicker timings and also the Theme Creator Project file.

[Chrome Metal]

@Retro808 thanks, yes I'll add the theme creator files to the download, I just have to wait for the new version of the theme creator to be released as its using some of the new features @y2guru had put in.

INTRODUCTION
No real introduction, I was trying out the new custom images in the theme creator and came up with this to test them out. What I have done is supply a custom image for every platform in the LaunchBox Database to date. It also relies on fanart as the main background but there is a fallback image for when there isn't any. Ideally I would like to be able to have 5 or 6 fallback images that randomly get used in the future.... @y2guru

Hope you enjoy it

THE MAIN THING TO DO AFTER INSTALLING IT... REFRESH THE IMAGE CACHE

INSTALLATION
**Download the zip file and unblock it (right click the zip file, goto "Properties" then at the bottom put a tick in the "Unblock" box, hit ok when done) then extract the folder to --\Launchbox\Themes\

oh and REFRESH THE IMAGE CACHE

Also there are some sound samples I found that give it that Clicky feel, I recommend downloaded them aswell.

 

As always thanks go to @y2guru for the amazing COMMUNITY Theme Creator for BigBox.

This is a few sound samples I found to go along with the Chrome Metal theme.

To use these simply download and unzip the file, and place that folder into your "LaunchBox/Sounds" folder. Then fire up BigBox and go into the "Options" select "Sound" and change the "Sound Pack" to "Chrome Metal Sounds".

@syncy I've not tested this but I found the code snippet from @faeran in this thread some where. You would just need to create a "Default" folder within a "Images" folder. 

            <Image x:Name="CartImage" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Source="{Binding SelectedGame.CartFrontImagePath, FallbackValue='pack://siteoforigin:,,,/StartupThemes/[THEME-NAME-HERE]/Images/Default/Nintendo 64.png', TargetNullValue='pack://siteoforigin:,,,/StartupThemes/[THEME-NAME-HERE]/Images/Default/Nintendo 64.png'}" VerticalAlignment="Center"
                   HorizontalAlignment="Center" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5">
                <Image.RenderTransform>
                    <TransformGroup>
                        <ScaleTransform ScaleX=".63" ScaleY=".63"/>
                        <RotateTransform Angle="0" />
                        <TranslateTransform X="0"/>
                        <TranslateTransform Y="-200"/>
                    </TransformGroup>
                </Image.RenderTransform>
                <Image.Effect>
                    <DropShadowEffect BlurRadius="10" Direction="-90" RenderingBias="Quality" ShadowDepth="1" />
                </Image.Effect>
            </Image>

@syncy these are really looking cool. Do you use a default Cart or CD image if non are found?

[COMMUNITY Theme Creator for BigBox 1.0.8.0 Preview]

Great new feature, I didn't even know it was in LaunchBox till I watched your video. Roll on two weeks time  

[I met a personal goal today.]

CONGRATULATIONS That is a massive achievement. ?

[COMMUNITY Theme Creator for BigBox 1.0.7.9]

ok is it up?

 

Edit: just seen it was a poll opps

[COMMUNITY Theme Creator for BigBox 1.0.7.9]

I would most likely be around for the live stream, what time are you planing?

[Night at the Arcade - [Theme Stream]]

Cheers @faeran Is that a BigBox update or a Theme Creator update that sorts the issue?

[Night at the Arcade - [Theme Stream]]

Have you tried Clearing the Image Cache for All game wheels.

[AllNightLong Theme]

[Troubleshooting MAME High Scores]

INTRODUCTION
This theme has a lot of animations going on while your browsing your game collection, the idea was to make it a bit more interesting as your selecting your game.

[XAML Tips and Tricks]

TopBoxes will show the favourites if you have any.

And the last piece of code will add a transition effect to an image, The transition it uses will relate to the options you have in the settings for transitions.
