  1. Hello Mate, I hear your frustration. I'm still waiting this to happen on LaunchBox. Someday.. https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/62701-colorful-light-theme-community-theme-creator-version-need-testers/?do=findComment&comment=393340
  2. It was successful to convert all bezels. For MAME arcade bezels, is there any simple way to separate vertical/horizontal bezels within XnViewMP? I had to manually select over thousands of bezels..
  3. Hi, I've always wanted bezels without TV Frame and found this link: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/24169/bezel-project-without-tv-frame https://github.com/dale-personal/bezelproject-NES Is there any way to apply this to LB?
  4. Oh, for a second, I thought Platform-specific views as platform-specific arrange list view... It would be nice if I could sort by 'title' in Nintendo 64, sort by 'year' in NEC TurboGrafx-16 and sort by 'date added' in Microsoft Game Pass.
  5. Followed your steps and everything works perfect now. For Platform details, video preview works good and there's text for platform name instead of clear logo. But, I'm happy with your theme and have no complains. Thanks for nice theme, C-Beats!
  6. Yes, I have updated to 1.5. Please check the differences between 1.3 and 1.5. I haven't touched any setting just switched themes. Things I have noticed is that: 1. Custom background color is not applying. 2. Game title is no longer under box art. 3. Badges are no longer inside box art. 4. Platform bar fonts spacing is no longer neat and tight. 5. (with 1.5) Platform Details clear logo and video playback doesn't seem to work. I confirmed it works fine with default theme (both logo and video after I turned on video preview option) Beats 1.3 Beats 1.5 Default Theme with Platform Preview working
  7. Theme stopped working after 12.15 beta1 update.(platform details also doesn't work) I have repaired and did everything I could. Maybe I should wait until next beta?
  8. I love your theme and especially "Horizontal Wheel Games View". It has perfect art size for both monitor and 4k TV and any proportioned box art look beautiful: from square type (PlayStation1) to complicated box arts ( horizontal+vertical box of SNES). The video preview loads faster than any other themes I've used... There are so many details I like about your theme. Would you mind sharing [Theme Workshop]? If it's a lot of work, at least your HorizontalWheelGamesView 1 and 2 ? This will help me build solid horizontal wheel for project I'm working on. It'd be very appreciate it. Muchas Gracias!
  9. I know it's inappropriate to post requests but would you mind checking these out? (Yes, I already submitted on bitbucket..) 1. Sort/Arrange by.. PER each Category and playlist 2. EDIT Metadata/Media (Ctrl+e) UI Enhancement Footer for quick drag&drop image edit (front -box) on main page Drag and Drop support STRAIGHT from Web Browser NEXT+PREVIOUS Buttons to navigate to another game without closing window Navigation Keyboard Support (ctrl+I to move to images, delete key to delete image, up,down,left,right arrows) "Control + i" should popup and go to images in edit game directly (instead of image view) 3. Auto Populate algorithm
    The best classic mini theme for Bigbox. Can’t wait for more detailed updates!
  10. So glad to know that you're working on it! Yes, Super Famicom is SNES Classic edition and I found some reference for you. And this might give you an idea for background and other details: https://github.com/ruckage/es-theme-snes-mini https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/12583/snes-mini-theme No pressure here but if you are updating to next level, video preview option would be wonderful!!!! (and game detail lower third graphic by pressing direction up or down) Thank you for an awesome theme!
  11. @exodus_cl I think your theme is still the best for classic console series. Would you do more Japanese versions such as Famicom mini, NEC PC-Engine Mini and Super Famicom mini? I'd love to show you an example for future reference. It would be great to have: 1. Mini Snap: mini video preview 2. Game detailed info: by pressing down or up button (since Bigbox default down is search) 3. Background Music Off: so that you could hear video preview music instead.
  12. @faeran I have been watching your theme workshop and I can't wait to see new beta for colorful theme as I'm one of fan for colorful theme for aesthetics, spacing and transition. However, one thing I'd love to see an improvement on colorful is the "speed". When there are thousands of collection, we need at least 1 detailed view for faster preview for video, box art and screenshots. Please see video: 2021-10-09_Untitled.mp4 You can see how video preview loads in less than about 1 second. This was possible on Quad Core 1.5GHZ CPU (RK3326) running on SD card. I'm running Bigbox on i7-6700K @ 4.00GHz with samsung 850 EVO SSD (only Launchbox and Retroarch) with 32GB RAM and RTX 3080 Ti. But I haven't found one theme (out of 44 themes I've downloaded from Bigbox and forum) that could load video preview faster than this weak CPU device. Would this be possible and could you consider implement into colorful theme? Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.
  13. 1. I guess we still need "AND" daisy chain multiple fields as they are common for creating smart list..(such as iTunes) I was trying to modify Cave playlist since it's missing some of games. Play list default shows as following: and it shows these game list: But if I try to add another field with source containing "cave" it will only show 5 list since it doesn't sum up both field that matches. This is problem because when I show sources only instead of publisher (default) it will show different game list. If "Cave" is auto-populating the game list, it should show all games that include both published AND source code used by cave. Therefore, fields should have "ANY" or "AND" style to accomplish full list. I found this works 100% perfect with iTunes smart playlist: EX) When I click "all", it won't show The Beatles songs but if I click "any" it will include Beatles and John Lennon, etc.
  14. Hello, I've tested all the videos to match background colors and here's result: All you have to do is to find 'COLORFUL_Styles.xaml' in theme folder Views\Styles and change the color. If you have custom named platform, you can easily create one here with exact same name. COLORS.txt
  15. @viking Thanks for quick response. It's good to know Faeran is working on an update! In the mean time, I'll test and post here if I find out anything. Another thing that I want to mention is the transition color difference. I found out this so far: 1. you can delete "LaunchBox\Themes\COLORFUL - Dark\Plugins\Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a\AssemblyConfig\Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_7a-Colors.dll.config" and just keep this only "LaunchBox\Themes\COLORFUL - Light\Views\Styles\COLORFUL_Styles.xaml" 2. The major issue was on playlists (not the platforms) because of unique name and nested name difference. You should change to UNIQUE name in COLORFUL_Styles.xaml. For example- "Arcade 2-Player Games" (Unique name) instead of "2-Player Games" (Nested Name). I believe this will solve the problems that most of people had because it will apply to default color that you have set for videos. 3. I learned that "&" gives an error so any custom plaftform name including "&" should be replaced to "_" Viking, I'm trying to match the color of custom video to background but it's not the same. Could you tell me the best way to find color picker # from screenshot? I tried to do in photoshop and other editor but it's always slightly different. I think I read that you have mentioned before but I can't find the post. Thanks again!
  16. Dear Viking, I have a quick question for you. I'm trying to boost up the speed when platform video shift to right. Could you tell me where I should look at in the xaml? Thank you always for this beautiful theme and your continuous support !
  17. For speed of transitions, I found good example and made video. It's fast and simple! Look how red color part pushes main screen to the right. (Just as video in center move to right) It'd be great if there's option for normal or fast transition maybe? I wish I knew how to code... Hope this helps, Viking. IMG_1656_1.mp4
  18. I'm patiently waiting for 1. NEC PC-Engine 2. NEC PC-Engine DUO 3. SEGA Genesis 4. Fujitsu FM Towns 5. Sharp MSX 1 6. Sharp MSX 2 7. Sharp MSX Turbo R 8. NEC PC-8801 9. NEC PC-9801 10. Sharp X68000 This will complete my collection from Nostalgia videos to Colorful 4K.
  19. Hi Viking, Thank you for making another great selection of videos. I'm also big fan of your Big Couch theme. Do you have any plan to update Big Couch theme to match beautiful colors of 4k videos? That'd be perfect Big Box theme ever created.
  20. @Klopjero I also requested this feature about 4-5 months ago. Plus, keyboard shortcut after click(highlighted) on image instead of popup. Basic keyboard shortcuts such as DELETE (to delete the image), CTRL+C & V (copy&paste image). Lastly, direct drag & drop support of web image (from web page to game image box).
