  1. Hi Faeran Wondering if you could help me. I have created a new theme called Playtime, My themes are normally hybrid so part CTC & part XAML & I want to create a new Game Discovery Center View that looks like my themes Platform View but i am struggling, I have attached some pics for reference. All I basically want to do is keep the List banners layout as it is in the Game Discovery Center View & drop them in my platform view replacing the current coverflow. or create a new Game Discovery Center View, I tried to do this a few different ways, Firstly i renamed the PlatformWheel2FiltersView in my theme to DiscoveryPageView & dropped all the relevant binary's from the default DiscoveryPageView into it & Launchbox crashes. Secondly I copied & pasted the default DiscoveryPageView from Launchbox folder into my Custom theme (Playtime) views folder as stated above then copied & pasted some code from my PlatformWheel2FiltersView into the DiscoveryPageView in my custom theme for instance just the White border you see in my theme & when i go into Big Box, Select Game Discovery Center & either you can't see the white border i put in there or it just crashes. Sorry if this sounds confusing as i just want to try & make the absolute fantastic Game Discovery Center View look like my theme.
  2. Congratulations to Launchbox team for the new Game Discovery Center. This is the greatest feature for Big Box to date & an awesome early Xmas treat. I love this new feature browsing things to play on my TV in Living Room & feels like I’m gaming on a console which is what I think most people want today. All it needs is a Gamer Pic with a profile name of who’s playing, A Game Controller Battery status bar & a Retro Achievements score status then it would literally be like I’m browsing through my Xbox & PlayStation. Keep up the good work Guys I look forward to all future updates.

    Welcome to Essence an elegant theme with a beautiful animated background that compliments the Home Screen & all Game views . It was designed in a screen resolution of 1920x1080 with Windows Scale & Layout settings at 100% so hopefully it should work with other screen resolutions. No need for Steam Banners as this theme is just for box images only. Make sure you Refresh all images in BigBox options/Image Cache. Make sure you set Platform & Game images as Boxes within the game options in Launchbox. INSTALLATION Download the zip file and unblock it (right click the zip file, goto "Properties" then at the bottom put a tick in the "Unblock" box, hit ok when done) then extract the folder to --\Launchbox\Themes. Big thanks to faeran for the inspiration of a (Spotlight), Featured game in platform view from his 3-Dimensions theme

    Titan is a multimedia theme for all your games, movies, music & tv which shines on your living room TV. This theme starts up with details of a featured game or movie ect relating to the platform, playlist or category selected on your Home Screen to remind you of what is in your collection. The top row on Home Screen is all your Platforms & Playlists ect & the bottom row is a collection of Recently Played short cuts which once highlighted will display Fan Art & Metadata to remind you of what you were previously playing. It was designed in a screen resolution of 1920x1080 with Windows Scale & Layout settings at 100% so hopefully it should work with other screen resolutions. All Steam Banners are required to be in the original size of 460x215 in order to scale correctly in this theme which can be downloaded from www.steamgriddb.com Make sure you Refresh all images in BigBox options/Image Cache. This theme is highly customisable as there are many Platform & Games views to choose from all with changeable menu controls, British/European & American Movie & Game age rating images, Avatar pictures for your profile & you can even put your own name with your avatar. INSTALLATION Download the zip file and unblock it (right click the zip file, goto "Properties" then at the bottom put a tick in the "Unblock" box, hit ok when done) then extract the folder to --\Launchbox\Themes. Make sure you set Platform & Game images as Steam Banners within the game options in Launchbox. Then for them to be used in the theme correctly set the priority of the boxes view to prioritise Steam Banners first - if you ever want to revert this it is then simply a case of lowering the priority of the steam banners in the boxes list rather than having to remove or reorganise images. To do this open Launchbox and go to Tools --> Options and in the window that appear select Box Front Properties in the Images section and use the Up button to move the Steam Banners to the top of the list. Included in my theme is alternative control layouts for Microsoft Xbox & Sony Playstation consoles, a collection of steam Banners for games of various platforms which i have resized to 460x215 & a collection of Movie Box Images, Clear Logos, Background Wallpapers & Steam Banners to get you started or download the brilliant plugin Movie Scraper (Reboot 2023) from JoeViking245 to download Movie metadata, Link is below. https://forums.launchbox-app.com/profile/102158-joeviking245/content/?type=downloads_file Big thanks to faeran for the inspiration of a (Spotlight), Featured game in platform view from his 3-Dimensions theme

  15. You could try changing the width in the Wheel section of the Wheel4GamesView with any text editor such as Notepad. I have uploaded an example highlighted in Steam Banner Dimensions.doc & see how it looks. Steam Banner Dimensions.docx
  16. This view is for steam banners only & all banners need to be 400x215 in dimensions. There is no way to adjust dimensions in game view to dynamically scale i'm afraid as this view was more of a personal one for myself as i don't have a large collection of games per platform.
  17. I seem to get the same result even in the Default theme until i move left or right then they appear
  18. Ok thanks, I’ll look into it
  19. Yes, If you open any of the game view files with any text editor such as notepad in the theme you can. eg Play Box 6/Views/WallGamesView/Super Nintendo Entertainment System & delete the text from the Wheel that is highlighted in the text document attached. Wheel section in any game view.rtf
  20. Thanks for the reply guys, thought it would look good in big box as it does in launchbox.
  21. Would it be possible to show the achievements score in any of the game views in Big Box themes. The code for developers to implement it in Big Box themes?
