Why not, but: Sega MD (japan) = It's the same design as the European version, just with a red logo not? Existing video is not enough? OpenBOR = OK. This is an arcade emulator right? Future Pinball = I wanted to do it with the other pinball emulator, but I can't find good gameplay video. All catches found are in wide format and with camera motion in game. I need capture without any camera move. I hope to be clear, but the style of my videos imposes this on me. If anyone at that, it would be perfect!

OK =) UPDATE : up to 87 video. add - Nec SuperGraFX

OK, new update! ^^ I calm down now, I think this theme comes slowly to maturity. With this v.1.2.0 : add - Another platform view. add - Auto-scroll text everywhere. fix - minor graphic fix. fix - minor ajustement on every platform view.

Oh ok ! Yes, it's pretty simple in fact. You only have to copy/paste my game view XAML file into your theme folder. This will overwrite your original views. So made a backup before ! Files to copy into : Themes/BigCouch/Views : WheelGamesView.xaml TextGamesView.xaml BoxesGamesView.xaml CoverFlowWithDetailsGamesView.xaml Files to copy into : Themes/BigCouch/Styles : all .XAML files =)

UPDATE : This morning I add a new platform view. Specially designed for my 4:3 video set. What do you think ? Note: you must use WMP as a video engine for correct elements alignment. VLC bug has this level. I also did some minor retouching on the blurred view of the platform.

UPDATE : up to 86 platform video. add - cave Arcade (request from @throwingmuse )

Ahahah thx ^^ I will work the platforms page. I'm not happy about that. @Nyny77 : I dont understand. The backgrounds are just the original fanart with a blur added in code. There is no asset here. @Klamp @ALIE : Thx guys ! Tell me what you think, your suggestion and if there are any bugs ! @BakerMan : I'm not sure I understand. Are you talking about the page once the game is selected? This page is linked to the design of the GameTextList (here game view 4). I dont have a choice.

Thx ! Yes, I'm pretty happy with games views. I still have work to improve platform page. For the problems of slowness, I think it is the blur on the fanart that take resources. =/

OK ! Here is the logo for Hidden Object Games. So, I redid the Big Fish standard for color matching. =)

BigCouch Theme View File #01. Description: BigCouch was designed for use on big TV screen. A clear and clean interface to navigate easily in your games and platform. Seems to be a display bug for the video alignment for few users on PlatformView 2 . It's random and it sounds like a bug in the video engine. CriticalCid has bypassed the problem by fixing the placement of the video for the 16x9 screens. If you have an alignment problem, try its patch. Available next to the theme. Thank you ! #02.

From memory, I've already done Big Fish. No ?

Oops, I forgot! The archive "ARCADE" is updated with the SEGA STV cabinet. =)

Unfortunately, this logo has a definition too low for me to use it. I can't vectorize it either. You already have the PSD file in the archive to create your own version. =)

I didn't figure out how to make the outline. But I can make the text less transparent and add a little solid shadow for better reading. I think, this will be the most elegant. You will find them in the next release.

@Jason Carr A BIG thank you for all your work. For these video alignment, it works with WMP. So no real worries here. By the way, I allow myself to raise you on the other points listed above (3 post up). Really sorry to insist so much ... But I'm excited to deliver the final version of my theme! EDIT : update with BETA v.0.9.2. Add custom marquee view for platform & games. I tried to stay sober and elegant. I hope you will like it. I still have to test them on very panoramic screens.

I hope you will keep WMP too because VLC doesn't work with my theme. Videos don't show up with VLC if I add commands: VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Only WMP deal with it. I don't know why ...

@Nyny77 : Damn you're right !! I use WMP for videos and it works very well. But with VLC, there are no more platform videos and the gameplay videos are zoomed! Someone has an idea? [ Same in French : Arg ! J'utilise WMP pour les vidéos et il n'y a pas de problème. Mais avec VLC, effectivement, ça déconne complet. Les platform ne s'affiche pas et les games sont zommé. Quelqu'un a une idée ? ] Here is the code I use for Platform page : <transitions:TransitionPresenter TransitionSelector="{Binding ImageVideoTransitionSelector}" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Content="{Binding ImageVideoView}" IsContentVideo="true" /> This is the basic code of the PDF ... I don't understand EDIT AFTER TEST : OK, These are the alignment commands that bug with VLC. Without it, it works. Very strange no? @Jason Carr did you have an idea? These are the controls that work with WMP and not with VLC: VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Right" I'll try to find a way, but in the meantime, uses the WMP engine for everything to work. =)

UPDATE : up to 85 platform video add - Apple Macintosh (classic) add - Visual Pinball (no sound... ) add - Zen Pinball FX2

First update with BETA v.0.9.1 fix - Platform views = The background video no longer have any distortion. add - Games views = The background video no longer have any distortion.

OK, done ! Here is the WheelGamesView.xaml like you want. Just copy/past this file into your : Themes/StationEmulation/Views. WheelGamesView_CUSTOM.zip

@adu : I'm not sure I understand what you're asking for. Can you precisely specify what you want? With screenshot. Or better, can you do a quick photomontage?
