    Updated to v1.4 - please see download page for details. @croppie1kenobi this should have addressed the problem you mentioned (though I was not able to replicate on my system); please let me know if it's still occuring though.

    Updated to v5.3 - please see download page for details: @Vitamina1984: included your suggestions in this latest update; thanks again for the feedback

    Occurs with WMP for me in BB with default theme. Very reproducible with certain games especially with mame retroarch core. Not sure if these issues are related.

    This happens for me in BigBox as well. I thought it had to do with my video engine plugin, but I see the same bug when using the Default theme. It happens consistently, though it only seems to occur with certain games; it occurs with many but not all mame games (retroarch core), but it does not occur with many other retroarch cores such as snes9x ... weird. @Jason Carr: I'm using ISystemEventsPlugin to detect when a game is starting and has exited (e.g., to start/stop the video via my plugin). I noticed ISystemEventsPlugin.OnEventRaised does not fire for the games where the video does not stop. Again, these same games also cause issues in the Default theme. Maybe that event's firing logic is the source of the issue?

    There is currently no platform icon for SEGA_RINGWIDE, though I could probably add it. Another solution is to allow you to add your own icons, e.g., place them in a certain folder an have the plugin read from that folder. It'd also allow you to override any icons bundled with the plugin. I'll put that on my short list of things to add to the plugin. Thanks for the feedback!

    Gotcha. Yep, it's a problem with the AutoscrollListBox control. I'll work on a fix for this control, thanks again for pointing that out and I'm glad you found a workaround. I'm sure you'll find a fix for that too. Great problem solving. Take it easy.

    Great! What did you do to resolve it? That's not a plugin I wrote, but look for ToggleCompleted in LaunchBox\Plugins, as well as in any LaunchBox\[themename]\Plugins directories. I'm not sure how that plugin works, but perhaps if you have more than one copy of it it'll create two copies of that menu item?

    Thanks for the bug report. Can you please try my Refaktor theme? It uses a newer version of the plugin, so that might help narrow down the problem. Please let me know if it works.

    Not sure this is in the current (1.7.3) release of retroarch. It looks like it might be in the next release (?) ... will be a nice addition.

    Yes, I did change the design to try and make the themes more cohesive. As a theme can only have one text view, I unfortunately won't be able to add the old text views back. However, you can modify and add those views back for your purposes. I had responded to @alnyden about a similar question earlier in this thread; you might check with him to see if he already did this.

    RΞfΔktΦR View File RΞfΔktΦR is a relatively simple text view-based theme showcasing videos and screenshots while keeping things clean. It's designed to work with either 16:9 or 4:3 displays, though you might need to tweak some settings using the configuration guide (out the box it's setup for 16:9). Due to its reliance on certain plugin features, the current version of this theme requires LB version 10+. It works with either WMP or VLC but runs more smoothly and uses less CPU with WMP. Refaktor is also now integrated with WootLauncher for a seamless experience. NOTE: Unblocking the ZIP file will also unblock the DLLs (e.g., Ao.Bigbox.Themer.dll and others) contained therein, giving your computer permission to run these DLLs. This is an issue with all plugins you might download from this forum. It's a Windows security feature. You basically have to vouch for a file before Windows will use it. I liken it to how a MS office document you download from an email runs in Protected Mode until you unblock it for printing, editing, etc. Below is the error you'll see if you don't unblock the file, as well as a screenshot of the solution.

    No problem -- thanks for reporting this bug!

    Thanks, that narrows it down a bit. Does it happen when you select a certain platform, or with all platforms? If certain platforms, what are their names? P.s. I would expect the text-based view and wheel views to work fine. This error should only affect Platform/GameWheel1 and Platform/GameWheel3. P.p.s. MinimalX would give the same error on these views, as it uses the same control.
  15. eatkinola
    Have some questions to try and help you better -- What version of LaunchBox are you running? Would you please provide an error report? - e.g., screenshot of the error that pops up when LB crashes. Are you using Windows Media Player or VLC to display videos? Does the MinimalX theme run fine on your setup?
  16. eatkinola
    You're very welcome! Thanks to @Grila for putting together such a nice theme in the first place. Yes, that'd be in the Styles\AOStyle.xaml file, towards the bottom -- look for a collection of storyboards. I can't recall off the top of my head the particular storyboard name, but it might be LEFT or SIDEBAR/SB ... something like that. It's currently timed to fade in when the top metadata screen overlay fades out, but you can adjust that timing by editing the storyboard(s).

    Never really announced FluxCRT, but I just posted an update yesterday and really like how it came together so here goes. It's a spin on the time traveling idea of BTTF, which I had just watched again recently with my wife for the nostalgia of it. Anyways, that series and some awesome bezels by @PhillsDoodles inspired me, and I also wanted to make more use of a CRT curvature control I'd made. In line with the vibe I decided to go with text-only views, juiced up with some transitions and overlays. Use Windows Media Player for full effect.

    Updated MinimalX to v5.2; primarily a bug fix.
  19. eatkinola
    Updated to v1.3 -- addressed bugs and performance issues.
  20. eatkinola
    No worries. I'm hopefully close to an update -- working on a few minor bugs ... but the performance issues are hopefully solved in this next update; I did find some problems there. You could make a stripped down version of the old theme leaving just the text views and would have to modify about 5-6 files with the new theme name.
  21. eatkinola
    Yes, that's how the AutopathVideoLooperFramed control (in Ao.Bigbox.Themer) works. It's easy to drop into a view. Feel free to use that control @wallmachine.
  22. eatkinola
    You're welcome! There are multiple game's list views, but I suspect the one you want is TextGamesView.xaml. I'll pm you to continue this discussion.
  23. eatkinola
    Yes, it is really cool if my biased self may say so :). Sorry you're having troubles; let's see if we can narrow that down. First, if you're getting those crashes with VLC, switch over to WMP for the video engine (BigBox setting); I don't get crashes with VLC, but at this point I consider the WMP implementation the way to go. Please send me a screen grab of the error reports. Also, it'd be helpful to know on which views it occurs; might help narrow down to a specific control. How many games are in your library? It'd also be helpful if you could test with MinimalX v5.1 (just uploaded), as it uses the same version of the plugin library. You can grab it here: Yes, but I changed it to look like the other views (I didn't really like the old text view as it didn't jive with the rest of the theme). Sorry if you became attached to the old text view. This updated text view is one of my favorites now. There are actually multiple "text" views; views 1 and 3 are actually wheel-based views but mimic a list, and in these views the lists will fade out to reveal platform or game metadata. In the real text views (of which you can only have one each for platforms and games), the list does not fade out.
  24. eatkinola
    You can certainly do this. The layout of each view is defined using a nesting of Grid elements. By defining column widths and row heights, you can position elements within the view. To horizontally mirror all the views is doable, just needs a bit of elbow grease. You can edit the XAML files using any old text editor; I just use notepad for that. Take a look at the XAML for one of the views you want to modify, and feel free to pm me with any questions. Hint: when defining column and row dimensions, I assume a 4k layout which is 3840 x 2160; this will scale well to other 16:9 layouts. Notice the asterisk in the dimensions (e.g., 3840*); that's what allows it to scale.
