Play Box 6 Theme Skin Pack View File This is not a theme but a Skin Pack, It's like several themes in one for the updated version of Play Box 6 theme 1.1 only which is required for this to work. Have fun with this skin pack where you can change the look of Play Box 6 with different variations of the Home Screen & some game views. 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 anywhere on desktop. Then just copy, paste & replace when asked the Views folder from any skin into the Play Box 6 root folder. Submitter daz Submitted 07/01/2022 Category Custom Themes

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 -
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.
-
I seem to get the same result even in the Default theme until i move left or right then they appear
-
Ok thanks, I’ll look into it
-
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
-
Thanks for the reply guys, thought it would look good in big box as it does in launchbox.
-
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?
-
Thanks bundangdon, I will release the CTC files at some point however please be advised that this is a HYBRID theme ie part Community Theme Creater & part XML files so it is very messy as all the Wheel & Wall view elements are in XML due to CTC not supporting these elements.
-
Hmmm, can’t understand why that happens with the videos as I tested every game in every platform to make sure videos were working before I uploaded theme & all was good. Are you using vlc player or wmp player for videos?. The textlistview was left in by mistake & not part of the theme. Wallview4 requires steam banners only. There are instructions in a supplied file how to do this. I will look into what’s going on with the videos. As for the system icons overlaying the banner, your Device images must be selected as another image like clear logos or something in your launchbox image platform/priorities settings

Play Box 6 View File This is Play Box 6, A redesign of the Play Box series as usual but with a more modern & elegant feel which looks fantastic on a large living room TV. 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.

Big Thanks to feran for the Background video as it compliments my theme very nicely -
Thanks Faeran, I will have a try with the editor. -
Thanks for all the input jayjay, much appreciated. I will try one of these methods as it would be better than redesigning in different resolutions. Not too sure if the community theme Creater has support for the new wall views as the latest play box theme relies heavily on the flowcontrol within them.
-
I will be looking at doing other versions for different screen resolutions but it will be a long process as my theme contains over 600 files to edit, most of which are the videoborder views for wheelgamesview.

Hi SuperSilver. This theme was designed on a 32 inch screen TV at a screen resolution of 1920 x 1080p. It's been tested on a 42 inch screen TV, 18 inch screen laptop & a 21 inch screen Desktop PC all at screen resolution of 1920 x 1080p. Do you have your desktop screen set at the right screen resolution, or sometimes it can be a scaling issue in Windows for example Settings/System/Scale & Layout = 125% or some TVs have scaling options in there picture settings or scaling options in Graphics card settings for example Nvidia Control Panel or ATI Radeon Catylist Control Center.

Hi cirdansky, It lloks like this is coded into Big Box as there is now way to change number of games in my theme. -
Hi anansocar, Nice to see you enjoying Play Box. I add the Windows & Movies app exe file in Windows 10 as a Game in launchbox. Then i create a Platform Category called Movies & add all my Movies to that Platform Category.
-
I had a look to see how it would look in 4K myself so after changing my desktop resolution to 3840 x 2160 & changed the windows scaling settings to 250% via the Windows/Settings/Display/Scale & Layout Setting it seemed ok. Please let me know if this is ok.
-
Thanks Vahn65. Unfortunately I created the theme for a 1920 x 1080 screen resolution only but I do plan to redo it in 4K as soon as I can get round to it. Please provide a review of my theme.
-
Hi MuffinXXL, Glad you like my theme. I have been creating the Play Box series long before the Community Theme Creator was available however the xaml files in my theme can be easily edited with any text editor like Notepad. Please provide a review
