Apologies @isilkin, I have been away for some time but just back with it now. I had a computer failure to and lost a lot of stuff (yes should know by now to backup!).
I will have a look for the theme and pick up from where i left off - if I don't have it I will start again but shouldn't take long to get to the same stage I was at with this one.
Will keep you posted

Mega Drive (EU) 2D Complete Cover Pack
View File
This file contains the complete cover set for all Sega Mega Drive (Genesis) games released in the United Kingdom Region and in the EU cover variant.
All files have been collated by myself from the various repositories on the Internet and have been retouched where required and resized to uniform ratio. The quality does vary between the covers based on the source files available but images are scaled to the best quality size available. Image sizes in the pack are: 500x725, 750x1087, 1000x1450, 1500x2147, 2000x2900
If you are aware of better quality variants of the covers in this pack please let me know and I will update the pack as required.
It should be noted that all are the original covers with the exception of Lethal Enforcers 2 which I could not find a high enough quality version of and so I have adapted the US cover to the EU style box to make this a complete set.

@Grila having gone through your instructions this works spot on and I have also managed to get my original DLL to also work now. The issue was something remarkably stupid and not sure why I had done it but rather than placing the DLL I had created in the plugins folder I had placed it inside the references folder within the theme folder. Having now moved it this is working.
Thanks a lot for your help with this and apologies that it was something so simple in the end that I was doing wrong (as I suspected it might be).

OK @shro2016:
1. Download the DLL, unblock it, and put it in your theme's "Plugins" folder.
2. Declare the namespace in any and all views you wish to use it in:
xmlns:g="clr-namespace:GrilaUtils;assembly=GrilaUtils"The "g" letter can be changed to suit your needs, I always just use "g" because it's short and the first letter of my name.
3. Define the converter as a static resource in any and all views you wish to use it it:
<UserControl.Resources> <g:UppercaseText x:Key="UppercaseTextConverter"/> </UserControl.Resources>
4. Use the converter on your targeted text
<TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=ActivePlatform.Name, Converter={StaticResource UppercaseTextConverter}}" Foreground="White" FontSize="36" FontFamily="Arial"/>
Note: If you are using Visual Studio, you'll have to add a reference to the DLL to avoid errors in the designer. If you are using a regular text-editor such as Notepad++, the steps outlined above will be sufficient.
Sorry if this explanation is too dumbed down for you (I'm not trying to insult). I just thought I'd outline all the steps for anyone looking back through this thread for help.
Thanks @Grila I will check this out now and no your explanation is spot on! Whilst I have used visual studio for doing the visual elements I do not understand sufficiently the use of classes and plugins so having a step by step like this is very useful as I am sure it will be for others that come across this post. Thanks again and I will let you know how I get on.

Ok, if you can be patient with me I'll send you my DLL. I'm currently on vacation, so in between watching my kids and the beach, my access to my laptop is limited to the evening. I'll get your problem solved though, I promise.
That’s great thanks very much @Grila and don’t worry about messing with this whilst on vacation. Enjoy your time with family, this can wait until you’re back. thanks again for all your help.

Did you compile your own converter for this or are you using someone elses DLL?
It was my first attempt at compiling my own converter though it is just a copy and paste of the converter you provided earlier in this post. It may well be that I have done something wrong when compiling the DLL.

Put the converter on the elements themselves. Also, no need to put it on the date since you're showing year only. Example:
<TextBlock> <TextBlock.Text> <MultiBinding StringFormat="{}{0:yyyy} * {1} {2}"> <Binding Path="ActivePlatform.ReleaseDate"/> <Binding Path="ActivePlatform.Cpu" Converter="{StaticResource TextTransformUppercase}"/> <Binding Path="ActivePlatform.Category" Converter="{StaticResource TextTransformUppercase}"/> </MultiBinding> </TextBlock.Text> </TextBlock>
@Grila - I am trying to use the TextTransformUppercase as you were discussing with @wallmachine and whilst I think I have now got everything in the right place, with no errors in Visual Studio, when I run BigBox it errors on the <usercontrol.resource> section with regards to an unknown type. Any idea what I am missing? I am just trying to convert the binding ActiveGame.Title at this stage.

Thanks @Jason Carr - for the view in question it is the gamedetailsview - is it possible to use a cover flow style wheel for the text options ie play game, flip box etc. ? I’m assuming not as not seen it done before but just wanted to check before I change the design to accommodate a vertical list instead
-
@ALIENot from the user side but can be done within the theme. The delay is to mirror the style from Netflix where fan art is shown for a period of time before the video is displayed.
@Styphelus yes there is blank space. My other themes are quite heavy on maximising information on screen and not having empty space. For this theme I wanted to keep to just the essential information and keep it as clean as possible. With regards game details this is obviously optional and the intention for this theme would be to disable it completely in the options so that games launch directly but have the game details screen mapped to a button so that this brings up the control scheme when required.
I believe I have defined the resource in the view's usercontrol.resource section but here is the complete code for the XAML view. Hopefully you will spot something glaringly obvious that I have done wrong:
