No worries. Take your time. My wall view looks like this. I don't think it's normal because the left page is empty. The screenshots of the theme shows this empty page filled with cover/box art. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yeah, that's a bit of a mess, and really kind of points to a potential issue with your computer. Make sure your drivers and such are updated on your computer, and I know that there are certain programs/services that mess with .NET core applications, like the nahimic service. Make sure you don't have that service running as well.

Is there a way to NOT use clear logos and just have the default plain text instead? Thanks!

It's definitely possible. You'll just have to edit the view that you want and replace the clear logo image with a textblock of the title.

I could get game box/cover image above game details on the right page by changing the views but then the game list on the left disappears. Not sure what's wrong. If switch back to text list with details view then game list comes back but the disappearing images on the right issue comes back. Also, wall view from manage themes screen under views don't activate. not sure if it's still in development. If I switch to wall view from theme-specific options under Retromags, the game list doesn't show. I think it's supposed to show the game covers/boxes on the left but it's empty.

Everything you are describing except the video element disappearing after the first game is meant to be that way. Themes are made up of different views. Each view has different element on the screen depending on what the theme developers wants to display. By changing from the Text List View to a Wall View, it went from showing a menu that was a list of games to a wall of screenshots. And yes, I don't believe the system is set up to activate wall views from the manage themes section, you will need to set up a hotkey and change views using that when you are on a game's view.

Again, I'll look into the video element issue when I get some time, thanks for reporting it.

 I recorded a short video.

Thanks, that helps. So, you are using the view that's supposed to display a video there, but since you don't have a video, it falls back to a screenshot, and your transition user setting seems to be causing something funky from happening. I'll look at the theme code and see if I can decipher what's going on there. In the meantime, can you change the video transition to something like Fade, and see if you are still seeing the screenshots disappear?

For me when I launch BigBox with this theme for the first game I choose the screenshot shows correctly above the game description on the right page of the magazine but when I change the game there is a flip animation and the screenshot disappears. Is there any solution to this?

I'm not really sure what you mean by this. You have any screenshots that could help shed some light?

Hello! This is a fantastic theme, but I did run into an issue. I'm not sure if the issue originates from the theme itself or if it's a Launchbox issue. 

The URL used when clicking on a Retroachievement to view the achievement in in a browser is incorrect. The url section "/achievement/#####" should use a lowercase "a" but the link is passing an uppercase "A" and results in a page loading error on Retroachievements.

As an example:
https://retroachievements.org/Achievement/49122
https://retroachievements.org/achievement/49122

Not a theme issue, but thanks for bringing it up.

You can use StationEmulation as your primary theme, then use this theme in your game views and achieve what you want already. Or create your own theme that combines the two the way you are wanting.

Yeah, this would be the easiest move, since you can combine themes together.

Ha! I was wondering about the "(NES)" and "(SNES)" sticking out in my list and I see your reply. Sure enough that solved the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and some of Super Nintendo (SNES). Still can't get the background to work for the SNES game list but I'll take it from here. Thanks.

Those two systems should be called:

• Nintendo Entertainment System
• Super Nintendo Entertainment System

If they are not called that, then those views won't work. Having them named based on LaunchBox standards would solve a lot of theme related issues you may run into like this.

Alternatively, if you just want to solve this for CoverBox, you can go into the following folder, and rename the correct platform view files to match the names you have.

• LaunchBox\Themes\CoverBox\Views\TextGamesView
• LaunchBox\Themes\CoverBox\Views\TextListView

Love the idea of this theme. Looks very clean. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work properly on my old Pixel 2. For some reason the theme shrinks the boxart of my GBA games very small.

It's one of those Xamarin.Forms quirks. Essentially, you can't seem to auto-size a grid and tell an image to grow and fit into the container. It's essentially only growing to the size of the actual image, and since your image is small, you end up seeing a small image. I may go back and fix this by setting a static height and width for the grid, that should fix it.

does anybody knows how to get rid of video border frame on XAML? that red and white Rectangle layout thingy (android)

Inside of the Vertical Wheel.xaml file you would remove the following:

                   <Rectangle Fill="Transparent" Stroke="Red" StrokeThickness="4" Aspect="Fill" Margin="4">
                       <Rectangle.Triggers>

Thank you for these exceptional quality resources.

However I don't think I could properly use them on the "Coinops" theme because it seems to me to be different in organization than Retrotastic. And I don't use the Retrotastic theme because I want a modern "style" theme. Thank you anyway for your sharing.

Yeah, it really depends on whether they added character artwork. RetroTastic has both background and character artwork capabilities, but it's possible they only added background artwork to their packs.

Hello, is it possible to have additional "GameGraphics" downloadable directly with Lauchbox?

Or an idea of how I could have lots of Game Graphics in an easy way? Thx

There's not really an easy way to do this, you'd have to find the graphic and then name it accordingly.

You can look up these RetroTastic packs and see if they have game graphics. If they do, they should be transferable into this theme.

Hello Faeran,

In the past I've asked a lot for your help with images templates, so I think it's time to give back.

If you have an Nvidia 1X, 2X or 3X series video card I recommend using the program called Waifu2x-caffe. It's free and will do exactly what you need. It scales the image using the Waifu2X algorithm and then you can use Photoshop and use its Action mode to apply color and brightness correction.

I've been doing this for a long time on my covers and I can't find any pack with an image as good as mine.

In case you have AMD or Intel, I suggest using Topaz Gigapixel AI. It can use both Intel, AMD, Nvidia and any new CPU.

Thanks @Cauptain. Those are looking good. What kind of actions are you using in photoshop to clean up the images?

Also, where are your image packs? 😜

I really like the vertical wheel 2 games view but I would like to also have game details included instead of just the name and date. Any way I can do that?

It would require you to make changes to the theme, either within the theme files itself, or you can download the COMMUNITY Theme Creator files and load them up into the COMMUNITY Theme Creator.

Hey @faeran !  Quick question: can you still create banners in the new version of CTC?  When I follow the directions from your YouTube video, I don't see the boxes to switch from theme creator mode to custom images mode.  Help!

It's still there, but has probably been moved since the video. It's available on the top-centered menu that appears when you mouse over.

Is there any way to make the theme play videos automatically, instead of Clear Logo? Or at least in the background of the details page, because I've a really big collection and people that don't know the games just select it based on videos, so going to picture and then playing a video is a bit of struggle.

Theme is TOP NOTCH! Just want to know if I can edit something, or have a checkmark to replace details background with the games video 

Yes, although you would have to edit the GameDetails xaml code. Might be a bit of a change, as you essentially would need to move the Carousel code in the place of the clear logo.

Is it possible to get the project files for this theme? I was looking to combine the games list from this into another theme in the theme creator.

Thanks!

The wall views in this theme is not possible to be made inside of the CTC yet, therefore no CTC file currently exists.

When that changes I'll put the files here.

Hey @faeran -

RetroFresh is by far my favorite Big Box theme.  One quick question: what Clear Logo pack is shown when you are watching the Theme preview in Big Box?  I can't seem to find it anywhere, and it looks to be exactly what I want.  Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks @Nick4222. I believe I made them for myself a bunch of years back, but never released them. I only made about 80 of them, if I remember correctly.

Having the same issue... did you solve it?

Hi Mally123

Unfortunately I never found a solution to this issue. I just use a different theme now because it was bugging the crap out of me

Banners need to have the exact name of the platform you have in LaunchBox.

Check the banner files inside of:

• LaunchBox\Themes\BannerBox\Images\Platforms\Banner

Looks like there is a Sony PSP Vita banner which should probably have its name changed. For now, if you change the file name to whatever you have in LaunchBox, it should work.

Hello @faeran, first of all my congratulations for this great work.

I only have two questions that I would like to be able to solve:

1 - Would it be possible not to shorten long titles by adding a second line of text if necessary? Long titles are now cut off with (...)

2 - I know that your theme is designed to always have the game information visible at the top, but sometimes it is better to hide the game information to be able to see more games on the screen. Would it be possible that when hovering over the game cover the information icon would appear so that pressing it would activate the game information at the top?

I have activated the option to show icons when hovering over games, but it seems that in this theme this function does not work or is deactivated. The only way to hide game information is through the Launchbox settings menu which makes it very inconvenient.

Thank you very much and congratulations for this great work.

 

Edit:

Would it be possible to activate the details of the game by pressing the middle mouse button?

I think it would be a good option to be able to activate or deactivate the details of the game and to be able to have a broader view of the games when necessary.

Launchbox has the option to show / hide game details with the key combination ctrl + T. Could this key combination be assigned to the middle mouse button?

Another solution would be to add a game details toggle button to the bottom bar.

Thank you @faeran.

Thanks @Daliant.

As far as your questions go. Yes, I removed the icons, although in the future, I could always look into adding some back that can be clicked on, but no promises on when I can get to that.

There' wouldn't really be an easy way for me to make a particular button to open and close the Game Details section. That's all handled outside of a theme's scope. You could use a third party program to make it so a middle mouse button would trigger CTRL+T.

+1! I love the game selection screens but want to use bannerbox to select the platform. Would really appreciate the project files!

Big Box has the ability to use different themes on a platform level than on a games level. In the Options you can create a "Switch Theme" keyboard/controller mapping, navigating to your platform view, click on it and choose BannerBox. Then go inside of a game view, switch theme to this one.

Thanks for the help!  One last question, is there a tutorial on how to have a specified view on the platform/games that aren't yet ready for the other Coverbox art?  Also I ensured I had the proper file there in regards to the error I am getting in the XBOX platform and also manually downloaded your Coverbox theme and replaced the file in case it is corrupt and I am encountering the same error.

At this point, it's hard to say why that one view is giving you issues. The code seems sound, and is working fine on different builds of mine. I would just make sure you are not running LaunchBox or Big Box as an admin, or have any other permission related issues that could be causing it, like files that are read-only. However, if it's the only view causing you issues, it's hard to say why.

Ah, OK.  I am using the latest version of 12.9.  Also, is there any way of displaying the platform list view a different way but when you enter each individual platform it is the Coverbox version that you have thus far?  In relation to some of the systems that aren't available as of yet, how do I change it back to default view to your knowledge?

I'm not 100% certain what you mean, but if you are trying to mix and match themes, you can do this either within the theme manager, or by setting a mapping to switch theme. With the mapping, you can navigate to the view you want and switch your theme, and it should save that selection. You can have different themes on a platform view vs. game view, and also have different themes used on a game view level, per platform.

After updating from 3.0 to 4.01 I am getting an error when entering the Microsoft XBOX platform only.  I tried repairing the theme in BigBox as well.  Any ideas?  Please see attached screen cap.

From the error message, looks like your system is having issues accessing the file located in your Themes\CoverBox\Media\Backgrounds folder, called Microsoft Xbox - Selected.png. I would first make sure that file is actually there.

Also, what version of LaunchBox are you on?
