Thats adjustable in the options. It's called background fade...just set it to zero.
-
Ahhh gotcha. Yes, that would be nice.
-
You can change the font type on the list views, but not the size.
-
Unfortunately I don't believe that's adjustable by theme creators yet. Your best bet would to make a generic wheel image for the ones you are missing.
-
Which font are you talking about? The text at the bottom of the screen or the text on the wheel?
-
In options -> views set "Platforms List View" to Platform Wheel 1 and set "Games List View" to Vertical Wheel 1
-
Right click the file, choose properties. Mark the box "unblock " and hit apply.
-
Here's a new preview vid. I need to tweak the wheel fade a bit more because the "pointer" is fading before the other elements by a hair.
-
Some more progress...I ditched the images and made the UI elements in XAML so they can scale to any resolution without losing quality like an image does. I also tweaked the wheel animation a bit. You probably won't be able to read the game details screen on an CRT, but I themed it anyways for people who want to use this on a LCD cabinet. I still have some work to do on miscellaneous parts, but it should be done by the end of next week. @trellos can you download this beta file and test it out on your CRT? I'm would like to make sure everything is looking good before I finish up. After unzipping it in your theme directory, you'll have to unblock the .dll file in the "plugins" folder. Don't worry, it only contains the font This theme is for 4:3 aspect ONLY folks, it will not look right on anything else. Please...there's no need to tell me it doesn't look right if you aren't on 4:3. MinimalCRTBeta.zip Here's the latest screen grabs:

After a little more editing to make the wheel look like the original theme, I kinda am liking the grey now.
-
Making some progress...here's the platform view. My monitor only goes down to 800x600 but the theme should scale nicely to any 4:3 resolution. I assume this will work on a CRT but I don't have a way to test it. It may need some tweaking since CRT's don't have a set height pixel dimension (if I remember correctly). I'm also not too solid on the grey color so don't be alarmed, I can change it easily. It was just an easy neutral tone to get going.

Looking good dude, as always! I love seeing what you come up with.
-
I haven't been able to find my original 4:3 version, all I can find is the 16:9 files. I can re-create the theme for you when I'm back at work tomorrow. It's a very simple design so it shouldn't take me long to finish it.

Yes I agree and it was something I was on the fence about as it was starting to come together. I'll comment it out as default but leave it there for anyone who wishes to utilize it. Thanks for the input, appreciated

I'm currently working on a very lightweight theme for the GPDWin device. This one is pretty simple to help maximize performance because of the Atom processor and because of the limited storage space available. Because of this, the theme only utilizes screenshots and clear logo's. My premise on this is to have it preform well and be easy to read on the small screen while still looking classy. Since I don't actually have one of these devices to test this out on, I am also looking for a guinea pig or two that to help me test the performance out on the actual device (@Jason Carr I know you have one, but you're probably too busy to help). Anyways, here's a couple shot of the game select screen...
-
Done, update to get the changes
-
Here's the edited Text Games View to match the Game Wheel 1. Just copy to the correct directory and overwrite the existing file. TextGamesView.xaml And here's a quick screenshot of it...

Wife's birthday. Wedding anniversary. Kids started pre-school. My sister lives in Tampa and is about to get hit by Irma. Sorry, real life kicked my ass...

I actually made the original Minimal theme for and arcade cabinet that was 4:3 (and re-wrote it for 16:9 after much demand). It wasn't a CRT, but I'm sure it could be adapted very easily if it didn't scale right. Let me try to find my original file, I know I have it stored somewhere...

Yeah I can work on that next week. I'll update you on the progress here and I'll probably need you to test along the way because I don't have that device on hand.
-
Any other systems you need let me know and I can add them.
-
Yeah guys, I can work on these edits but I'm out of the office until Tuesday (Labor day for the USA) so it won't be until after then.
-
Unfortunately I have nothing to say. I have no other reports of this (with roughly 1263 downloads of the theme) so all I can think is that it is end user related. That's just my math though. And both themes are identical except for the colors, the dark version was just a copy of the light version with the color changes edited.

Switch Changelog: v1.0.3 (8/30/2017): -moved the GrilaControlLibrary.dll to the theme Plugins folder, which is an added feature since the theme release (the .dll will still need to be un-blocked before launching BigBox) -fixed the large outline bug reported by @jamesclarke555 (thanks again for reporting it to me)
-
No one has reported this yet. It may be a side effect of changes @Jason Carr has made since the theme was released. I'll look into it and see if I can get it back to normal. Thanks for reporting it to me
