  1. Hi @HerrVorragend1975. What screen ratio does a 10-years-old fullHD-mon have?

    For anyone interested. I added a link in the description to a YouTube video where I showcase how to create your own BannerBox banner images. Here is the link as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtK2S7Owo8Y
  3. That is the strangest thing. It's not erroring at all? Have you ever seen something like this @y2guru?
  4. I mean, there's still enough platform views that can be played around with. Would just have to think about a good way to implement videos, and use one of those views.

    I actually ran each banner through pngquant, which did significantly reduce the size of them all, while keeping relatively the same quality. If people are creating their own images and are worried about size, pngoo is a pngquant gui interface that works well. JPG may work as well, although I haven't tested.

    Did you download the theme from the forum, or through Big Box's theme manager? Seems like an error with the textlist plugin. Maybe @y2guru has some thoughts.
  8. First make sure you put the banner in the right place: Launchbox\Themes\BannerBox\Images\Platforms\Banner\Windows.png Then make sure you refresh the platform wheel image cache in Big Box.
  9. Are you able to provide more information? BannerBox doesn't use background videos, so that's a little curious.

    If I had to guess, you may not be running the latest version of LaunchBox. It will require at least version 10.12

    I'll send you a PM so you don't have to wait for the video tomorrow.

    At some point I can create another view with quick, or just less animation going on. Then you could choose which view you want to use.

    Not yet, but I'll work on one.

    You are right, using existing art would be great. Unfortunately, Big Box doesn't have the ability to utilize existing artwork in this way.

    The template I added to the downloads allows you to generate banners for your whole collection with one click. I will be streaming something this week which will show you how its done.

  20. Hi @NOMAD0P. The way this theme works is it tries to match the name of your platform to a couple files within the theme's directories. It's trying to find "Sega Mega Drive" so it doesn't match your "Sega Megadrive" and instead displays the default view. You have 2 options: You can rename your platform in LaunchBox to "Sega Mega Drive" You can change the names of the 2 files within the theme to match your platform name. They are located in: LAUNCHBOX\Themes\CoverBox\Views\TextGamesView LAUNCHBOX\Themes\CoverBox\Views\TextListView Hope this helps.
  21. The theme itself just displays the play mode that you have set for each game in LaunchBox. If you want it to display how many players, you'll have to edit your games and set the play mode that way.
  22. This would actually involve a code change within one of the xaml files. I'm not entirely sure where in the code it's located, as this theme was remade using the theme editor, so all the code happens in the backend, and gets auto generated. Optimal solution would be to wait for y2guru to include the transition presenter within the editor itself. However, in the meantime, I could try to teach you how to use the editor to add the transition presenter manually. Probably best to switch this over to PM though, it could be a bit spammy.
  23. If I were to guess (without being on my computer), it probably has to do with the way the COMMUNITY editor calls the boxart, using a direct binding. @y2guru maybe a reason to include the main image transition presenter?
  24. If you are referring to the platform theme videos, those are downloaded from within Launchbox. Under Tools > Download Platform/Playlist Theme Videos. Most of the videos are the Big Box Cinematix videos. Just remember that most themes don't come with media, they use your own media that you get from within LaunchBox.
  25. should be easy enough, as it's just an image file. Just delete or rename the following file: Launchbox\Themes\Vertigo\Images\Theme\scanlines.png
