  1. @darky1986 Strange. The theme call all of the default LaunchBox info. Nothing is custom. Normally, they are scrapped automatically. But you can edit them manually. For platform : In LaunchBox > Tools > Manage platforms > (select a platform) > Edit For Game : In LaunchBox > (Select a game) > Right Clic > Edit
  2. Nice @Jason Carr ! Question about blur: Is it a classic order (<BlurEffect>) or an integration of Fluent design (AcrylicBrush) ? If it is Fluent, is it BigBox compatible? The idea would be to add a blur layer on a video or a part of a view, with good performence. ?
  3. @ItchyRobot : Yes retro808 is right. And this is a question to be decided. I ask the opinion of the community: The "problem" comes from the navigation construction by view in BigBox. The GameView with the text list is a special case. (File name : TextGamesView.xaml ) This view has 2 functions: Game selection, in text list, instead of the wheel logo. Once the game has been selected, it's this same view which displays all options. (Play, Manual, Favorite, Succes, ...) So I'm in a dead end for multi-design (light/dark). Because all the views end on this screen before launching a game. If you come from a clear theme: everything is OK. If you come from a dark theme: you end up on light. It shocked the eyes. And vice versa, if I transform this last viewt into dark version. No satisfactory solution. I only see one solution: Design this view by forgetting the "game selection" part, and thinking it only as a presentation of the selected game. This way, we can imagine a view with a different design, which works whatever the theme chosen. (Light or dark) The downside is that this design may not work well in text list to select a game. Your opinion ? Many people use this view to choose their game?
  4. Some of you follow the comments here, rather than the support topic. For the curious, a preview of the next view on this link!
  5. To celebrate this new year, here is a little preview of the next Platform View! Only limitation, this view only works well with my video set ... Really colorful! I hope you like it ?
  6. Good news ! I had no idea how to fix this bug! ?
  7. Dark Version online ! ?
  8. And here we are! The dark version is online! I hope you like it! ? ..:: BETA UPDATE ::.. Version 0.6 - Released January 7, 2020 - New Feature: By popular demand, the Dark View, for Platform & Games view. ? - Improvement: GamesView, now the platorm name was show in color. - Improvement: PlatformView, now the date show in platform color. - Improvement: In WheelGamesView, add a drop shadow to the wheels, for better visibility of games without ClearLogo. - Fixed: Trouble displaying quick access in TextGamesView fixed. Some screen : Everything seems to be working fine on my computer. There is only one problem in the design: Once the game is selected, we always end up falling on TextGamesView. It doesn't matter if you arrive from a light or dark view: you go on one page only. So only one design. Which "breaks" the continuity of the chosen design ... I can't do anything to fix it. ?
  9. Good morning all ! Happy new year and best wishes for this new year! ? It's back to work for me today. And as promised, I started to work on the dark version so requested! Here a preview:I hope you like it!
  10. Ahah nice one ! I'll work on my official dark version after holiday !! ?
  11. Yes, I placed the 2 "SAVE" files, in case someone goes to modify these files, they will always have the stock version on hand. Honestly, I have no idea! Do you have the latest .NET framework version up to date? Windows 10 up to date? You haven't francized the names of the platforms? EVERYTHING is green? Or just someone?
  12. You don't bother me! It's a very strange problem, because you seem to be the only one affected. For the color, I used a plugin function developed by @eatkinola . It uses the file in "Colorful\Plugins\Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a\AssemblyConfig" Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a.dll.config : To normalize different platform names. Make sure that the platform names you use are noted here. Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a-Colors.dll.config : Based on the standardized name, gives a hex color code. I filled it according to my videos. Are these two files present? They look like this: <!-- PLATFORMS --> <add key="Platform.ACORN_ARCHIMEDES" value="Acorn_Archimedes|Archimedes" /> <add key="Platform.ACORN_BBC_MICRO" value="Acorn_BBC_Micro|Acorn_BBC|BBC_Micro" /> <add key="Platform.ACORN_ELECTRON" value="Acorn_Electron|Electron" /> <add key="Platform.AMSTRAD_CPC" value="Amstrad_CPC" /> <add key="Platform.AMSTRAD_GX4000" value="Amstrad_GX4000" /> and <!-- PLATFORMS --> <add key="Platform.ACORN_ARCHIMEDES" value="" /> <add key="Platform.ACORN_BBC_MICRO" value="" /> <add key="Platform.ACORN_ELECTRON" value="" /> <add key="Platform.AMSTRAD_CPC" value="" /> <add key="Platform.AMSTRAD_GX4000" value="#dd4b3c" /> <add key="Platform.APPLE_II" value="" /> <add key="Platform.APPLE_II_GS" value="" /> <add key="Platform.APPLE_MACINTOSH" value="" /> <add key="Platform.ARCADE" value="#5f60ba" /> <add key="Platform.ATARI_800" value="" /> <add key="Platform.ATARI_2600" value="#b92e35" /> <add key="Platform.ATARI_5200" value="#40599c" /> <add key="Platform.ATARI_7800" value="#2f7bc7" />
  13. Ahah OK. If you don't have the "unlock" option, it means that it is already well unlocked. Strange your problem. Perhaps an error in the version validated on the theme manager ... Yes, please try the forum version !
  14. If the problem comes from there, it should be visible. Here is an example in French, but easy to understand : If not, you downloaded it from which sources? - forum page? - BigBox theme manager? Are you sure you took the latest version? (there are both on the forum download page) Does your option page have the new "dark gray" design?
  15. @alfredolvera : Yes : bug found and fix. Online in next release ? @Mumut : Strange ... Try to go in your "LaunchBox/Themes/Colorful/Plugins" folder. Right clic on "Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a.dll" and check if this plugin was lock. Is it's lock, just unlock it.
  16. Yes, I know. But I think I can't do nothing for this. The wheel is code as a overlay, not a seperate view. That's why video turn in background, unless a new video was load. I make some research !
  17. Yes, a dark version was planned. I just want to fix all feature and bug before. It's not just code. Some bitmap asset must be change ? But you've right, it's not a big deal.
  18. Hum, strange ! Your LaunchBox is up to date ? Did you used custom personal platform name? Or stock ?
  19. UPDATE! + 4 Category Video ? Thank you for your patience ! Here are the Category Video. Still missing the "Playlist" that will be coming soon! I need more time in 3D. Discussed with @Jason Carr , I added the videos in HD (1080p) to the LaunchBox video download tool. It will be possible to download them at the next LaunchBox release! Arcade Category Computer Category Consoles Category Handhelds Category
  20. @ItchyRobot Thx for your feedback ! I found the problem and fixed it. Online at the next release!
  21. @y2guru Thx ! Drop shadow was a good idea. No, I don't need a exemple. I had hoped to have a direct control, but I will do some tests with drop shadows. Excellent idea ! ?
  22. Hum ... it deserves a test! How did you make this change? Or maybe change the font color?
  23. OK ! It's UPDATE time !! ? Again, sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience! Version 0.5 (beta) - Released December 10, 2019 - New Feature: Text and interface element now show in platform color. A BIG thx to eatkinola for his hard work on his plugin! - Improvement: The pulse animation of the play button is no longer a gif, but code. To integrate the platform color. - Improvement: Rebuild of the star rating, to integrate the platform color. - Improvement: Rebuild all design on "option view". - Improvement: New code for video integration. Big Tx to Grila for his help! - Improvement: Rebuild of TextGamesView, now fully responsive, with correct font size and animation. - Improvement: GamesViews: Better use of the white band to increase the visible video area. (a little) - Improvement: GamesViews: Small BoxArt reduction for a better video view. (a little more) - Improvement: Minors graphic element update. (Logo, background ...) - Improvement: General code cleanup and better annotation. - Improvement: A lot of minor adjustment on child views. - Fixed: On platform view, games count now work with Playlist. - Fixed: Redesign option page, with dark grey backgound. All text must be readable now. - Fixed: Uniformate fonts between views. A VERY BIIIIIIIG thank you to @eatkinola for his help and his work on his plugin! All the new features of this version are to his credit! ? So! The new feature is about color(ful). Now, each platform has its color, pick to the video, and used in the texts, interface and rating stars. Colors are populated in .config files that will be updated following the video release. There is also a lot of little correction. I let you read the ChangeLog. I will let you test this version some time to make up the bug. Once we are on a solid foundation, I will decline new views. I hope you enjoy this theme. And again a HUGE thank you to all Patreon !!!!! ? EDIT : Update submitted to @Jason Carr for the theme manager. And some screen :
  24. Hi guys ! Quick question: Is it possible to work on fonts for ClearLogoWheels? Where? When there is no ClearLogo, the platform/game name is displayed as text. I would like to add a black outline to this white font. Possible ? Thx !!!
  25. nice !!!
