@Chro Strange that this problem persists. The display of colors in the theme is not generated by videos, but by a plugin developed by @eatkinola. In : "LaunchBox\Themes\Colorful - Light\Plugins\Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a\AssemblyConfig " have you this two files : - Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a.dll.config - Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a-Colors.dll.config In : "LaunchBox\Themes\Colorful - Light\Plugins " Are all the plugins unlocked? (right clic on eatch plugin, clic "unlocked") Or a PC reboot ??

Hi @jtb1987 ! Hum, strange problem. I dont remember a zoom problem in platform video. Can you share a screenshot? I recommend VLC because Jason found a memory leak with Windows Media Player. Leak from microsoft, so there is nothing he can do about it. But if WMP works well for you, that's perfect! The preview in the Plaform Video download tool has a problem with 4K videos. I can't do much about it. Maybe HD test? There is no need to convert anything. All videos are in the .MP4 (H264) standard format. If your system is struggling with the "4K" version, I suggest you try the "HD" version. Sorry, I thought I was on the COLORFUL topic ^^ !! I recommend VLC because Jason found a memory leak with Windows Media Player. Leak from microsoft, so there is nothing he can do about it. But if WMP works well for you, that's perfect! But the problem is, it's a very old theme. We would have to recreate it from scratch. Sorry =/

Thx ! More customization seems difficult to me. Can I do some examples on the first page perhaps? But I will not be able to make 1 custom version per person! About VideoSnap ratio, it is an impossible equation. If I put the VideoSnap in 16:9 ... it will fill the whole screen and I lose my left column. If I put the videoSnap in true 4:3, but the design balance is no longer good. I find that the current cut is the best compromise. And no, smaller VideoSnap is not a solution for me. From a design point of view, it's ugly and unbalanced. But feel free to make a fok! Dont hesitate to share it here, I would put it in first page. ? It is planned, but not now. To be honest I didn't start it. On another priority: Finish v.1.0 theme and "Arcade Playlist Set" video.

Hi EMH, 1. At a minimum, for a display like in my screenshots, you need: PLATFORM >> ClearLogo (Someone already integrated into the theme) + Data (no media) + Colorful Video Set (you can try the HD version) GAMES >> ClearLogo + FrontBoxArt + Data (no media) + GamePlay Video (From EmuMovies) 2. For the video, I have to watch. Normally, it is possible. By the way, I have in mind new Platfrom view, based on a Banner system (without video) to have more freedom in design. It will therefore be lighter, because without video! Release ... some day ^^

Ah that's great, thank you! But for the moment, I have too much to do with the new videos to think of remaking the one already put online But really, thank you very much, it's a great step !!! You have less known hardware, I'm interested! Yes, I took the EmuMovies video snaps. I put all of my sources online. You can modify them with AfterEffect for example.

Thx ? 1) The thread is on the download page, button "Get Support". Here is a direct link. The idea is to centralize everything related to COLORFUL video set creation. 2) For arcade cabinet, difficult (impossible?) to find the right photo to do the editing. So I recreated them completely in 3D. So I created a PSD file that we can customize to multiply any basic Arcade visual. For graphics/design sources to set up, I have no better lead than Google Image or any DIY Arcade Cabinet forums.

Damn ! Thx Y2guru @eatkinola Are your super plugin from the Swiss army able to do that? ? ?

Hi everyone ! Quick question: In GamesViews, to call the game "Genre", here is the piece of code given by @Jason Carr : <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=ActiveGame.GenresString}" Foreground="White" /> It works very well, but when a game has multiple genres, they are separated by a semicolon. Is there a way in the XAML to replace the semicolon? I would like to move from : Action; Adventure To : Action / Adventure Yes, with the space to ? Thx guys !

@Pixelpiper @Darklight It is not so simple to make responsive for BigBox. I mean design side. On the code side, it's simple. You can simply test my theme by deactivating the lock 16:9 In theme folder, open ThemeSettings.xml with a simple text editor. Find this line : <Force16X9AspectRatio>true</Force16X9AspectRatio> And change to : <Force16X9AspectRatio>false</Force16X9AspectRatio> No guarantee! But I will be curious about the result. Post screens!

Thank you ! Yes, Arcade playlists are planned. But as I realize all arcade cabinet in 3D (CGI), it's a BIG job! Please be patient ? I would like finish the v.1.0 theme before. Then I resume creating video. Yes, it is planned. Based on Windows video. This is why I worked on the boot of Windows 10 video. ?

Hmm. There may be a conflict between the Windows "Category" and the Windows "Platform". @eatkinola What do you think ? You can do some tests: Open this file with a test editor : \LaunchBox\Themes\Colorful - xxx\Plugins\Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a\AssemblyConfig\ Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a.dll.config Respect the form well. Change only "Value", not "Key". Line 57, You will find the Windows Platform. But you need a category. Can you try adding a new line in the category section? Tell me if it works. At the end, probably. I too have a little Bartop 4:3. But it will be more than an adaptation. My whole concept is based on the image ratio. In 4:3, I will need a new layout.

Strange. Have you a custom platform name ? In LaunchBox platform option. I take a look asap. Change BoxFront to 3D BoxFront. It's pretty easy to change. Since I don't use this option, it may be integrated in BigBox option (?) Otherwise, you can simply change the code. For example, if you use Wheel2GamesView.xaml. With a text editor, open it and go line 1146 and change Source="{Binding ActiveGame.FrontImagePath}" by Source="{Binding Path=ActiveGame.Box3DImagePath}" And voila !

@sagaopc Cool montage ! But from my point of view, I see some problem. - Change BoxFront to 3D BoxFront. It's pretty easy to change. Since I don't use this option, it may be integrated in BigBox option. Otherwise, you can simply change the code. In your example, you use Wheel2GamesView.xaml. With a text editor, open it and go line 1146 and change Source="{Binding ActiveGame.FrontImagePath}" by Source="{Binding Path=ActiveGame.Box3DImagePath}" And voila ! - Put ClearLogo on top. It is not really possible, this space being reserved for games with long names. The text that expands upwards in this area. And for me, the clearLogo is already present on the Wheel AND on the BoxArt. Adding one again would be too much. Too much graphics, too much color, too much logo. (My tastes, of course) - Put a Card/Disc. I thought about it. But a good placement is a problem. To take 2 extremes, the PSP (very narrow) and SNES (very wide) boxes require placing the card image in different places, depending on the platform selected. It's too complex to set up! At least with my knowledge! If you have a clean integration method, I'm interested! (Or another theme for inspiration)

No, I have not removed any views. In the previous theme, the Light and Dark views were mixed. Here, they are separated into 2 different themes. That's why you have this impression I think. The LIGHT theme has no new view. The DARK theme, now has all the views (identical to the other) in dark version. (3 "new" view dark version in fact) This update mainly concerns the foundations of the code. I put it online in version 0.9 because I await your feedback to finalize these views and polish these bases. It will be v.1.0 and the end of beta status. Afterwards, I will come to add new views / design! Strange your permissions problems ... You installed it by the forum or by BigBox? Cool ! The feedback seems to indicate that my code optimizations worked! I am reassured ?

community COLORFUL resources
viking replied to viking's topic in Third-Party Applications and Plugins (Released)
Here, it's all about create video for COLORFUL set, by the community, for the community. ? -
?It's because you use custom platform names that I hadn't anticipated. Extract and paste this file: Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a.dll.config.zip Here : LaunchBox\Themes\Colorful - Dark\Plugins\Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a\AssemblyConfig\ ... (or Light theme) I just added your 2 custom name to the platform possibility. I leave them, they will be directly present in the next update.

Man, it has been so long since I have not worked on BigCouch that I no longer have at all in mind the why of the how ... I'm sorry! With what I learned from Colorful, this theme deserves a complete rewrite, starting from scratch. I can't promise to do it quickly, but I will really try to do it at some point.

@OhBoy OK, add to my ToDo ? Great news for those who want to help me create videos! I just put all my sources online. It's here that it happens : It is still incomplete. I will add more information based on your feedback!

Hum, stange. A little hiccup would be normal. 5sec is too much! Try to update my theme with today's version. (Attention, I changed the name of the theme. You will have to select the right one)
