Grila

A quick update for you folks. My work project is running a bit over schedule (and budget), but should be wrapping up in a relatively short period. Then I can get back to my usual theme contribution level. I appreciate all of your patience. And as a side note, first I'll focus on fixing the issues with the current Fundamental theme. Then I'll be working on a new one, Fundamental Redux, which will incorporate many of the requests you have all made along with the new features available through the plugin system and recent development.

There are all kinds of themes right here in the downloads section... https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/category/2-big-box-custom-themes/

Sorry guys, I got super busy at work. It's going to be at least a week or two before I can get back to LB/BB stuff but I do promise to work on this theme first when the time comes. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

No, he never got back to me if he wanted it or not. Sadly, I don't have the project file anymore, but it was very easy to make and can be done again if needed.

If it's happening outside LB then LB most likely won't have any info on what's causing it. Check the Dolphin logs.

No issues with Dolphin (using 5 stable) and the latest LB beta here either.

Grila's Custom BigBox Controls View File Update 7/2/2019: The SlimDX library was replaced with the SharpDX library because SlimDX hasn't been updated since 2012. Hopefully this will alleviate any of the problems with the plugin not working. @Jason Carr, @viking, @shro2016 and anyone else I missed. A few custom controls to add extra functionality to BigBox themes. Read the documentation included in the download. Install: Place GrilaBBControlsPlugin.dll and SlimDX.dll SharpDX.dll and SharpDX.XInput.dll in either LaunchBox\Plugins or the plugins folder of a specific theme Initialize: Open a new or existing BigBox theme in Visual Studio and add a reference to the project. Browse to the directory you copied the files to in the first step and select GrilaBBControlsPlugin.dll. Define: In any views you wish to utilize the controls, add the plugin to the namespace. Ex. xmlns:g="clr-namespace:GrilaBBControlsPlugin;assembly=GrilaBBControlsPlugin" Use: Use like any other element by prefixing the namespace defined in the previous step (a quick selection box should appear after typing the namespace prefix) and select the desired control. Customize: There are exposed properties for most of the controls that allow the user to customize their appearance as they wish. Below is a list of all available properties that can be changed: GrilaTime – a more customizable version of the built-in time control: • Any normal TextBlock options like foreground, font family, font style, etc. • GrilaTimeFormat is a string defining the DateTime format. Default is set to “h:mm tt” for 12 hour time with AM/PM indicators and no date. Set this however you wish to get the info you want. Good examples of DateTime formats can be found here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4(v=vs.110).aspx GrilaPowerStatus – shows device power status, battery charge status, and battery level • GrilaBatteryBorderColor – the color of the battery outline (default Black) • GrilaBatteryBorderThickness – the width of the battery outline (default 15) • GrilaBatteryCornerRadius – the radius of the battery corners (default 5) • GrilaBatteryProgressForeground – the color of the battery level progress bar (default Lime) • GrilaBatteryProgressBackground – the background color of the battery level progress bar (default #111111) • GrilaBatteryProgressMargin – the margin between the battery outline and the battery level progress bar (default 0) • GrilaChargeIconForeground – the color of the charging symbol when the battery is charging (default BatteryOutlineBorderColor) • GrilaPlugIconForeground – the color of the plug symbol when the device has no battery (desktop system) (default BatteryOutlineBorderColor) GrilaControllerStatus – shows the connection state and battery level (if wireless) for up to 4 xinput controllers • GrilaControllerColor – the color of the controller(s) (default Black) • GrilaControllerLightOnColor – the color of the charge level indicator lights when on (default Lime) • GrilaControllerLightOffColor – the color of the charge level indicator lights when off (default Black) Submitter Grila Submitted 05/10/2017 Category Third-party Apps and Plugins

Yes, I'm aware of the viewbox and have used it before in many projects. Unfortunately it's not that simple. Sure, a viewbox will scale it's contents to fit, and fix the text issue but scaling on other things like border thickness, margins, etc. still fall victim to the DPI scaling issue. Many of my themes use advanced layouts and techniques to align elements that can't be solved with a viewbox. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Yeah, that's clearly explained in the first post and in the readme file. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Not that I'm aware of, not yet. I am planning on re-visiting this theme due to the sudden increase of interest in it and I will make it more compatible with different scaling percentages.

Yep, it's how the program scales them when used in the wheel. Nothing I can do about it. Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Awesome bro, thanks for all your hard work. This will open up endless possibilities. Awesome docs also in a very familiar format

Right now it's locked to the gradient background. I'm planning on re-visiting this one shortly since there seems to be a sudden burst of interest on it, so I can probably add a view or 2 with the background element.

I get all my videos from EmuMovies, which are .mp4, and they all play fine on my system with both players.

Yeah, I believe that's an issue with the control itself. I have one thing I can try but it won't be until next week if you can hold tight.

Switch Changelog: v1.0.2 (5/2/2017): -redesigned Text Games View (thanks for the inspiration @NahuelDS) The image is the standard ImageView so it can be changed to any available type (clear logo, box, 3d box, screenshot, banner, cart, etc.).

@Tio Perico Here's the 1280x720 edit. As stated before, display scaling over 100% will still cause the alignment issue on the Platform Wheel. Currently there is no way around this issue. Switch_v1.0.1_1280x720.zip @NahuelDS @echofive I haven't started modifying the text games view yet but fear not, it's on my plate.

I can certainly add that. Thanks for the input [emoji3] Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

Out of curiosity, what do you think needs updated on this? Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

I'll fix that up for you also next week. Unfortunately, it involves me making another PNG file for that resolution so there's no quick fix.

I'm planing on it. It will most likely be next week.

I not entirely sure but I don't think so @ALIE. The only theme specific images we can set are platform images.
