@Retro808 : Yes, It'll be fix in next release ? @Stefano74 : Thx ! I'll post next update as soon as it's ready !

You're right. But rather than working on background, I think it would be better to add an outline to the text. But I'm not sure it's possible here. I'll look !

Thx @Qbertzelious ! I have not planned yet, but I designed the "Windows" platform video so that we can customize it by service. (Steam, GOG, Ubi ...) For example: Windows Boot> Open service window> Gameplay video. I am very busy right now. As soon as I have time, I do it in order: All arcade by LB automatic playlist, and I create a download page with all sources! It's done with Photoshop and AfterEffect CS6. Old version, so very compatible. No plugin, to facilitate the help of the community.

@nadonate I saw ? A BIIIIIIIIIG thanks to you for the support !!! I know I have not posted anything for a while now. I have a lot of work right now and for a few more weeks. But I dont forget Colorful! In parallel, I work hard on category video and with @eatkinola on the theme. I hope release soon. I thought of finishing them all before delivering the complete set. But that will make you wait too much. If you want, I can upload the 3 already finished without waiting for more. OK for you? A preview here The missing category video will be made in full CGI. So longer to produce.

Strange ? But yes, try to replace all this by the code I give you. Edit : probably a difference between "forum" and "in Bigbox" version ... I realy need to rewrite all this theme !

OK. So, in WheelGamesView.xaml , found line 66 this piece of code : <!-- VIDEO BACKGROUND --> <Viewbox Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="25" Grid.RowSpan="18" Stretch="UniformToFill" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Center"> <transitions:TransitionPresenter TransitionSelector="{Binding ImageVideoTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding ImageVideoView}" IsContentVideo="true"/> </Viewbox> Delete and replace with this piece of code : <!-- VIDEO BACKGROUND --> <transitions:TransitionPresenter x:Name="vidsource" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="25" Grid.RowSpan="18" TransitionSelector="{Binding ImageVideoTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding ImageVideoView}" IsContentVideo="True" Visibility="hidden"/> <Border Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="25" Grid.RowSpan="18"> <Border.Background> <VisualBrush Visual="{Binding ElementName=vidsource, Path=Content}" Stretch="UniformToFill" AlignmentX="Center" AlignmentY="Center"/> </Border.Background> </Border> This code was written by Grila. thanks to him ! It must work, but break the transition effects. Follow the link, he wrote another answer a little lower that preserves the transition, but I can not test it now. This theme deserves a total rewriting. But I'm focused on Colorful right now. I do my best !

I take a look tomorrow. (10pm here) ?

A quick message: I dont post a lot right now, sorry. I have a lot of work for the next 3 weeks. But I dont forget Colorful! In parallel, I work hard on category video and with @eatkinola on the theme!! I'll be back soon with new content! ? For waiting, some screen of future category video. Mainly complete 4K remake of Nostalgia version. But for "arcade" and "playlist", I will realize them in full CGI. Which requires more time, necessarily.

Pas testé, mais ça fait peur !

You're right, it works perfectly with "Fill" and "Background" value. I misinterpreted my mistakes! Just, I can not figure out how to integrate it into a gradient (like the exemple a send you). And GamesView. About the stars. Rest this story of converter. How to do it ? input : "SelectedGame.CommunityOrLocalStarRating" value >> from 0.0 to 5.0 output : ScaleX value >> from 0.0 to 1.0 I assume that it must be simple to put in place. But I can not find a concrete example online to create my converter.

Thx @eatkinola I'm going to try. But this method seems to me more rigid than my last example with the ScaleX on Canvas. For example, perhaps I can animate the effect from 0 to the rating, for a loading effect! Can be cool! I managed to have the functional effect in my theme, animated as I wish. I still have 2 blocking points: Are I needing a converter for the scale value? (see my previous post) Or it's can be manage in XAML ? Your plugin doesnt seem to work in GamesView and/or with "Fill" and "Background" value. But probably I'm doing something wrong. EDIT : Here is my actual code. Whis : A gret background + the "stars loading bar" + the PNG overlay <!-- COMMUNITY OR USER STARS (Background) --> <Rectangle x:Name="StarsBG" Grid.Column="3" Grid.Row="10" Fill="#d6d6d6" Margin="1"/> <!-- COMMUNITY OR USER STARS (Stars Color) --> <Canvas x:Name="StarsColor" Grid.Column="3" Grid.Row="10" Margin="1"> <Canvas.Background> <MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource FilterSelectionColorConverter}"> <Binding ElementName="SelectionSnoop" Path="UpdatedTimestamp" /> <Binding ElementName="SelectionSnoop" /> <Binding Source="{StaticResource DefaultPlatformColor}" /> </MultiBinding> </Canvas.Background> <Canvas.RenderTransform> <TransformGroup> <ScaleTransform> <ScaleTransform.ScaleX > <Binding Path="ActiveGame.CommunityOrLocalStarRating"/> </ScaleTransform.ScaleX> </ScaleTransform> </TransformGroup> </Canvas.RenderTransform> </Canvas> <!-- COMMUNITY OR USER STARS (Design Overlay) --> <Image x:Name="StarsOverlay" Grid.Column="3" Grid.Row="10" Source="pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Themes/Colorful/Colorful_img/Colorful_RatingStars_Overlay_Light.png" Stretch="Uniform" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" > <Image.RenderTransform> <TranslateTransform x:Name="StarsOverlayAnim" Y="0"/> </Image.RenderTransform> </Image>

OK ! I managed to make a functional prototype !!! Here is the code : <Canvas x:Name="test" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="12" Margin="10" Background="Yellow"> <Canvas.RenderTransform> <TransformGroup> <ScaleTransform> <ScaleTransform.ScaleX> <Binding Path="ActiveGame.CommunityOrLocalStarRating"/> </ScaleTransform.ScaleX> </ScaleTransform> </TransformGroup> </Canvas.RenderTransform> </Canvas> It works very well! But there is a problem: The ScaleX is on a scale of 0.0>1.0 The Rating is on a scale of 0.0>5.0 My Canvas rises to 500% of its size in width and exceeds its grid. So, I dont know if I need a converter or if I can force it with minimum/maximum values directly into XAML. Any ideas ? @eatkinola Do you think this formula will work with your Color plugin?

Thx @Grila ! ? I take a look at your GPDwin Theme and your stars code. It's massive! ? I tried to understand and adapt quickly to my theme, but I have too much error. In addition, I dont master enough SVG to change the design that you put in place. At the end, I need to animate the entire block and add the ability to change the color on the fly. (aka acording to the platform, with @eatkinola plugin) That's why I'd like a simpler code. Like my first idea of binding the rating to a ScaleX Rectangle. (or Canvas, Button ...) If someone has a track to make it work, it will be GREAT! ?

@zaerdy : This will be fixed in the next update.

Hi all ! Back with a new challenge for all code master! ? I want to find a way to adjust the RatingStar color with hex code. Actually, I'm using this piece of code: <StackPanel Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="10"> <TextBlock x:Name="Stars" Visibility="Collapsed"> <TextBlock.Text> <MultiBinding StringFormat="{}pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Themes/Colorful/Colorful_img/Stars/{0:F1}.png"> <Binding Path="ActiveGame.CommunityOrLocalStarRating" /> </MultiBinding> </TextBlock.Text> </TextBlock> <Image Source="{Binding Text, ElementName=Stars}" x:Name="RatingStars" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="9" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Stretch="Fill" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" /> </StackPanel> It works very well with its 52 PNG images. But stars colors are fixed in image. No way to change them on the fly! IDEA 01 - Binding Rating to a ScaleX on a Rectangle. Like a loading bar, with a stars PNG overlay. But my research seems to show that it's impossible. You confirmed? In addition, I will need a converter: To transform the notes, from a scale 0.0> 5.0 to a scale 0.0> 1.0 And that, I still dont know how to do! (Shame) IDEA 02 - Use DataTrigger to change numeric note, into text with a stars picto custom font. If A=EmptyStar , B=HaltStar , C=FullStar ---- for exemple, a note of 2.5 > CCBAA Problem : It is very limited in design and precision side. In addition, I cant have a working prototype. In summary, I can not make my ideas work. They must be bad! If you had to do that, how would you do it? Ideas? Examples? @Grila @eatkinola @Jason Carr ... and all code master : THX A LOT ?

@Webandme : Thx ! ? @Tromzy : J'ai édité les platformes à la main, en copiant/collant les infos de la page wikipedia FR. Je n'ai pas eu le courage de le faire pour les jeux ! ? I edited the platforms by hand, copying / pasting the info from the wikipedia FR page. I did not have the courage to do it for games! @sagaopc : Unfortunately no. This is not at all the spirit of this theme. Sorry. In addition, the number of views is limited. With what I have in mind, everything is already full !
