Yes exactly. This is what I use for the height of the ROW. But how to make the text size fluid, depending to the height of the ROW ??

I'm not a code killer... more a big noob. Sorry =/ I would have to find a way to not fix the typo size by pixel, but in % of the row.

Hum. Strange. Maybe the margin. What is your screen resolution ? For now, I only test on a 1920x1024px. EDIT : 1920x1080px.

Glad to see that people interested ! Yep, I can do several variation. Like: Platform : with or without hardware picture. With or without Scanline effect on background. Game : Original style or platform style. ...etc Question: Can I rename .XAML theme file ? or it may crash? (PlatformWheelImageDetailsThumbsFiltersView, ...)

Same as actual platform style ? Or original EmulationStation game detail page ? Like this :

StationEmulation Theme View File #01. Description: A tribute to famous EmulationStation, master on Raspberry Pi system. #02. Features: new - FanArt blurring effect is buildin. No need to manually blur the images. (Only on Platform View without scanline) Hardware image = Banner Image folder (.png) Date = information taken into platform details setting. Vignetting effect is buildin. No image/video manipulation needed. #03. Showcase: Platform View variant : Games View : #04. Request : Require LaunchBox and BigBox v7.0 (and supperior) #05. How To Install : Download the latest version of the theme. Unzipped the "StationEmulation" folder into your : .../LaunchBox / Themes. Dont rename the "StationEmulation" folder. Open BigBox, go to [Option> View] and select [StationEmulation] as theme. Go back into main interface Done ! #06. How to Setup : IMAGES TRANSITION = setup "Main image filter" on "Horizontal Slide". HOW TO - CHANGING THE VIEW STYLE (platform & games pages) In BigBox Option > Keyboard Mapper > Change View = assign a key. Go back to main view and press this key. ADJUSTMENT Please, look at the pictures above. #07. Option & change : Thx to @Nyny77 : On the platform view, to replace the DATE by the NUMBER OF GAMES : Find the good platform view file (like "PlatformWheel1FiltersView.xaml") In file, find these line : <!--"DATE" IN SMALL LINE--> <Viewbox StretchDirection="DownOnly" Stretch="Uniform" Grid.Row="2"> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.ReleaseDate, StringFormat=yyyy}" Foreground="#393a3b" FontFamily="Segoe UI Semilight" FontSize="40" TextAlignment="Center" Opacity="0.9"/> </Viewbox> Delete these lines and replace them with these : <!-- PLATFORM TOTAL GAMES --> <TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Text="GAMES AVAILABLE: " Foreground="#393a3b" FontFamily="Segoe UI Semilight" FontSize="40" TextAlignment="Left" Margin="750,0,0,0"/> <TextBlock Grid.Row="2" Text="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.TotalGameCount}" Foreground="#393a3b" FontFamily="Segoe UI Semilight" FontSize="40" TextAlignment="Left" Margin="1100,0,0,0"/> #08.

Cool ! Thx @Detran ! Here is my version :

UPDATE !! Up to 174 game platform logo. + 4 Third-party app logo. + Alternative by @Detran (Thx to you !) heck ... I redo the same PNG/PSD format error. No time to reupload, so : Sorry =/

Yes ! Why not ! I Can make some subfolder in main zip file.

Yes. My Bad. Rename in .psd format. Open in photoshop. Save in .PNG. Sorry. I reupload asap !

Big update with v.1.1. Up to 155 platform logo !! And it is not finished ! (But I take a break)

@DOS76 look the previous post ;-)

Done I work in a (huge) update set. With almost all the systems listed in LaunchBox. Leave me a little time, but stayed tuned!

@kmoney These are the two logos. Not very inspired by "game for PC". Sorry =/ I'll wait to do more to update the main archive.

Thx ! It's perfect !

OK. The simplest is that you post here the desired logo image (if possible). Because I dont know them all look like. If I take your example of "LaserDisc Classics", I have no idea what to look for ! Even in low quality. Applies for everyone and any request for new ClearLogo ! Thx

"LaserDisc"? Juste the media ?? I had focused on hardware, but why not. "PC Games" : for me, it's the "Windows.png". But I can make it with "PC Games". I have a big week of work that awaits me. Feel free to add to the platform list. I will do everything in 10 days! (more and less)

Thx ! It would be nice ! Progress update: Capture direct for BigBox : Date OK (Thx to @Grila MinimalHD line code !) Animated gif arrow : OK Size and position of the clear wheel logo : almost OK still missing: Obviously, the overlay. Left alignment of clear logo. Transparency of not-selected clear logo. By the way, I have a question about transitions. For the hardware image, the most elegant is the vertical slide. And for a succeeded effect, the image must come and out outside screen. But I fail to have this effect. I made a grid on the edge of the screen. To center the image, I used margin, thinking that the transition stop on the edge of the grid. And not at the edge of the margin. But no. It is possible to center the image with the margin. But the transition effect (sliding) continuous to the edge of the grid (here the edge of the screen)? Here a Visual Studio screen :Thanks !!!

Thx all ! And to respond to the comment in detail download page : Yes, you can ask me for missing platform. I will update the archive when I can. It would be nice to end up with all the platform!

Me to. A setup for speed in the transition menu would be perfect !

Same here !

Thx ! If it operates well and there is demand, I could easily make a 16:9 version and why not 21:9. (I have a monitor of this size) Here is a concept update : I replaced platform with my own logo Wheel set. (Available here) Goodbye bottom right logo (already present in the wheel) and replaced by the date. I added two arrows, why not animated gif, which helps anyone to understand interface navigation. What do you think ? Better or worse?

Hello everyone. For not pollute the xaml-tips-and-tricks topic, I just create a WIP thread for my upcoming theme. Oriented 4:3 for my bartop arcade cabinet it will be inspired by the work of the community. Here is the layout that I want to achieve. (based on my 1024x768px resolution) What do you think ? Comments, suggestions, ideas? The latest @Jason Carr update and the manual PDF helped me a lot. But I'm still missing some piece of code to find: Align to the left all wheel logos. Add transparency on unselect wheel logos. Add transition in the images (here "Device") If you have ideas, please share here ! By the way, my tiny bartop looks like this. (100% home made. From plan to achieve)
