Yeah, I can think of some ways to fix that, although may take some time. It's possible you could solve it yourself by clearing your image cache in Big Box, although I can't remember if that trick still works or not. It's possible it doesn't. -
ListContentView.xaml Copy this into the folder: LAUNCHBOX\LBThemes\Default Plus\Views Just remember that any time this theme is updated it will overwrite these changes, so maybe keep a copy of this xaml just in case. -
Remove it on just the list view, or both the list view and the image view?
-
There are ways to remove the text or reduce the text size within the xaml files. Are you looking for it to be removed in just the list view?
-
That would be dictated by the Image Group you choose in LaunchBox for each of those platforms.
-
Okay, so I'm not entirely sure what you are trying to do. Based on the code, it looks like you are trying to post a static image and not really what you originally said you wanted to. If this is the case, then you would just use this code: <Image Source="LAUNCHBOX_THEME_FOLDER/Images/Arcade.jpg" Stretch="Uniform" /> That will display Arcade.jpg which should be located within your theme's Images folder. Stretch Uniform means the image will keep its original aspect ratio and deform.

We added this to the previous poll and it ended up being the lowest voted item, by quite a large margin. We will keep a close eye on the MiSTer, as it's cool technology, as far as official integration goes, it probably will be a while. Although, knowing how it kind of works, you probably could get a script to run the necessary commands and add it as an additional app, or as a separate game entirely. Sounds like a good plugin idea.
-
If that's off and you are still seeing Android games, then you just do what what first suggested. Long press the platform and remove it. This will remove the game entry/content from LaunchBox, not your device. -
We are with you in that we would love to see a more user friendly filter system in Big Box. It's on our long list for things to eventually look at. For the time being, if you were to enter into your Racing playlist, you could use the filters with either Max Players or Play Mode to narrow down the list to just 2 players, but yes, you would have to currently type out a value, which isn't ideal.
-
Yes, I can say that we are aware of the regional variants (for PAL and other regions) for the different platforms that use jewel cases. We do have plans to keep expanding out the 3D Model system to include them, so just stay tuned. No ETA on when we will get to it, but it's planned.
-
For what you are wanting to do, there's currently no way to change navigation like that. This is built into the backend of LaunchBox for the moment, on a per-view basis. I can think of a few ways to trickle this down to make it more theme controlled, but not sure when something like that would make its way into Big Box.
-
Check under Options > Parse/Add Android Games on Startup Make sure that's turned off.
-
I would also like to add that with whatever decision is made, remember that the reason the DB exists is to facilitate the seamless downloading of metadata and media into LaunchBox. So, for any type of change to the DB, the main question to ask is: will this interfere with the seamless downloading of metadata and media of a game that is imported into LaunchBox? As we get closer to us uncovering some of the changes we are making to the database, we will also bring with it a more robust vision and set of guidelines, but whatever we end up sending out, just remember that it's all in the pursuit of better metadata and media scraping inside of LaunchBox.
-
Yes, would be something like: <Image Source="{Binding ActiveGame.Platform, StringFormat='{}LAUNCHBOX_THEME_FOLDER/Image Folder/{0}.jpg'}" /> This will look inside the "Image Folder" for filenames based on the active game's platform.
-
Surprisingly, just a basic progress bar element that's native to WPF. It's used everywhere in LaunchBox. -
Just realized I'm pretty sure it's the theme you are using that's causing it. You can see the option is called "Use 3D Models for Box Images (Unless Mandated by Theme), well, pretty sure that theme mandates the use of the 3D Model in that location. You would have to use an older version of that theme, or use a different version of that theme, like the basic Unified theme. You can download older versions of themes under the changelog section of any download. Also, you have either placed 3D Box Images into your Box - Front image folders, or your added 3D Box Images into your Box - Front image priorities in the options. I don't recommend doing either as this will cause weirdness like you are seeing where a 3D box image is being placed on the 3D model.
-
Can anyone still facing this issue provide what Video playback engine they are using in Big Box, and whether changing to the other playback engine fixes the issue for you.
-
My best guess is you forgot to disable the option under: Game Details > Use 3D Models for Box Images If that's not the case, you may need to provide the other stuff I asked for.
-
Sounds like you may have possibly missed one of the options. Are you able to confirm what theme you are using, and what view you are using in that theme, and which options you disabled. Screenshots would help with what you are seeing, it kind of sounds like you may have added 3D Box Images into your Box Front priorities, instead of keeping them in their own priority group.
-
It uses your Background image group. Basically, whatever image types you have listed in Tools > Options > Media > Background Priorities
-
Best to ask in one of the CTC threads, since your question is specific to that program.
-
Where does Big Box store the themes it's using for each platform?
faeran replied to vaderag's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
I believe this is the file you are looking for: LaunchBox\Data\Platforms.xml -
Send me a PM, as this thread will end up getting locked, the information being buried, and at this point we are off-topic to the beta.

You could add the platform clear logo image binding to the stackpanel in the top right, or replace the badges with it. The list grid is one of those things that themes don't have control over really. LaunchBox doesn't currently save the width information for the columns, which would need to happen for any themes to be able to utilize them. With Big Details I tried to counteract this by setting the size of the entire list to the available width, then users could remove the unnecessary column headers they don't want to see until the grid is in a more manageable state. This does stop columns from auto-changing columns as you navigate through it, but it does reduce the amount of columns you can see in this view. Saving grid column size is a program level thing that would need to happen, and while it's on the list to take a look at, it's never been able to take the priority over other areas of LaunchBox. -
Variety is the spice of life. Or so they say... 😉
