    Wow, I have to say that I went through tons of themes and because of the customization this one clearly takes the cake. It is now my default theme. Did make a few small tweaks that I just thought that I would share. I have had all my "device" images added as banner images so I simply changed platformwheel3FiltersView.xaml to show it. Just scroll all the way to the bottom and look for <!-- Device Image -->

    Then look for the line <Image Name="CustomBannerIMG"

    and I changed the source= to {Binding Path=ActivePlatform.BannerImagePath}

    I also just changed the yellow text (just don't like yellow at all) to light blue (just search for yellow in any view and change it to lightblue or whatever color you want)

    Those as well as just changing the wallpaper made this into my perfect theme and is now my default. Btw, somebody mentioned adding the weather, dont do that. There is a plugin for it but I heard it adds a major lag to theme. Keep up the great work!

     

    Thank you for the comment! Happy you like it, Enjoy!!

    @GodElite So happy that you like the theme and no worries about the suggestions, it helps me learn more about theme making and I enjoy the challenge. I made the updates you have requested above. My coding skills are lacking, so I just made a new view for the Nintendo DS platform and it will change automatically when that platform is selected. Unfortunately I don't have the Nintendo 3DS installed but you should be able to go into "Views\Wheel3GamesView\" and make a copy of the Nintendo DS.xaml file, and rename it to Nintendo 3DS.xaml. Hopefully that works, as i'm assuming the video snaps are roughly the same size. You also shouldn't have to stretch the game snaps now as I have resized the video frame to match. I hope that's what you were looking for :)

    Awesome theme love the look! would adding Weather under the time be possible?

    @misterlamide I was looking around the forum for a weather plugin and the one that is available is currently not working. If something else does come up. I will add it in for you :)

    Great theme! I like simplicity of the theme and the arrangement of items: box art, game name, type of game, etc.

    Is it possible for you to create a View where we can use our own wallpaper?

    I've noticed if I replace the "_Default Platform Background" or "_Default Background" pictures with my own wallpaper, the video and the box art gets completely covered!

    Is there a way for you to show the video and the boxart ABOVE the wallpaper without cutting transparency on the background? 

    Like this example?

    @GodElite I will have a look into this on the weekend for you. I'm pretty sure I can make a separate view for that.

    Thanks Scooter,  can you do me a favor.. can you please zip up the theme that's causing this publishing error so I can run it on my machine in debug

    The theme is located within COMMUNITY Theme Creator for BigBox\Theme Preferences

     

    @y2guru Here you go, it's very much just me playing around so far, but hoping to make a full fledged theme out of it.

    Playing around Theme.rar

    Go to your plugins and right click the .dll plugins,go to properties and tick the unblock box then try again. 

    I'm not sure what you mean by the "Unblock box" I don't see that when I click on properties for the .dll file.
