@SNAK3ATER could you make it so that the pictures don't overlap? -

@SNAK3ATER you can see what happening. You can see that by placing the logos on your banner on different heights it gives a jumbled impression.. -

don't worry about watermarks... I've been grilled an ddrilled on hyperspin-fe.com those folks dont mess around.. I will however not randomly place logo's on backgrounds.. it will be consistant and evenly placed ..so it will form a cohesive whole... now If you will excuse me ..I'm off to bed...the bottle is empty. I have a huge collection of system logo's ..consoles, computers, arcades, handhelds.. some misc stuff.. -

I have a day off tomorrow and so I can get some stuff done.. Logo placement.. I'd tend to place them on the same height...which looks nice.. ..where do these banners popup in your theme ? -

how did you achieve the blur ? code wise? -
I switched a while back after Avar left. I'm still hypersick but BB is growing on me. although I find it slow and bulky and rather resource intensive as opposed to HS. I've taken to @SNAK3ATER's BigFlix theme. it's very different from the other themes you find here.

I will help with platform banners. at Hyperspin I used to do Wheels and Themes... Currently I use Nosh's banners as a base and created my own banners for playlists. do you have a certain style in mind ? do you have an exmple I can work with ? Here are a few samples I did. @SNAK3ATER -

It's basically the same thing with visual studio.. It would actually be faster with notepad++ and less distracting. . I'm just not as fluid in xaml to know what options go with which elements... -

What a fine example of a mobilephone post this morning. I find it difficult when I'm tweaking what part of the theme... are you having the same problem @SNAK3ATER I can't get a a view in Visualstudio -

The ph squished ones are Screenshots and the non squished ones are photos hop edits of those screen shots... good job on the blurry fan background! I wonder why your DS box art looks neater then mine... -

I'm not familiar with the limitations of Launchbox.. so I let my imagination run free. Above is a current situation for non 4:3 /16:9 videos We've established that, now if you set the video box to a set width and keep the aspectratio and align the video to the bottom of the element,,,in my head it would look something like above.The fact that it overlaps the background isnt very important.. (to me) The boxview is currently like this.. I wonder if it is possible to display a video twice and have one render in the background slightly blurred. or maybe have an image in the background slightly blurred.. and this ruse could be used for other aspect corrections. -

It's as can be expected.. given the videos.. (vectrex to btw) I forget what the view is called but it's the one I modified where the video is played over the Screenshot. .. could you play it there without stretching? I suspect it would fall of the screen... maybe align it to the top screen and mask the bottom part? But then you'd have to add another static picture to your theme... -

Thank you! I will post the code in the near future, is there a way to define alternative art sources for that element? right now I copy box art to the fan background folder, which works fine but is redundant. Have you had time to look at view of the Nintendo ds? regarding squished videos.
