[Millennium Theme]

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!

Hey! Yeah, I'm updating the theme in order to add at least Switch and Famicom, I had no idea Famicom and super Famicom mini were different, I'll take a look to see if my Famicom version is better and I'll add sufami too, thanks for commenting! 

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:

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!

@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.

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.

@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!

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 !

Yes, it is planned!
I know I am very slow at the moment. A lot of work that keeps me busy. Sorry about that.
I'm probably going to take a "break" from the Arcade video series, to do more regular platform.

If you have the same speed as on my presentation video, there is no slowdown due to your configuration.
The "problem" is that the speed is animated for each element. So you have to change allllllll the animation code and readjust everything to change the speed.
I can try to find a way to adjust the speed with 1 single variable. It might be a good idea! I add it to my ToDO.

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.

Thank you for contributing your beautiful videos. It truly brings back my old memory with details of console/system and game on screen.

Since I was growing up in Korea, my childhood memories are related to Japanese consoles such as MSX, Nintendo Famicom, PC-Engine Duo etc..

I can't wait to see all grey list that you are planning to port. Wanted to add how happy I am to find your videos!!

ps. It would be nice if you add Nintendo Super Famicom as well. But that's just a little wish..
