    Yup, you can think of it as a percent.

    There is a way. Unfortunately, you would have to do it manually in the code. Depending on the view you would like to change, you would open up its corresponding xaml file, and change the radius value for the BlurEffect. The files would be located in Launchbox > Themes > RetroFresh > Views Hope that helps.
  3. Hey @Panthon13. platform logos are being pulled from [launchbox folder]/Images/Platforms/[platformname]/Clear Logo/ check each of your platforms to make sure you have a clear logo in there. The clear logo should have the complete name of the platform, and be a png image (ie. Nintendo Entertainment System.png)
  4. Hey @Mrtots. Sorry, been MIA. I haven't played around with playlists yet, but what the code does is pick the platform for the active game, and looks in images/platforms/clear logo/ folder for a png file with the platform name. I'll have to see how exactly playlists will work to figure out exactly what I can do about them displaying the correct logo.
  5. Thanks @Phoenix415 I see what you mean. In order to accomplish this, I'll have to figure out some code. But I have some time, so I'll add it to the list for the next update.
  6. Thanks @GreenGriffon. I understand what you are talking about, it happens when you have the black logo in front of a dark background. I'll see what I can do about making the logo visible for the next update.
  7. Just spit balling before my class begins... I believe Launchbox tries to use fanart - background images as default for the backgrounds. There should be a setting somewhere to also include screenshots if you don't have any fanart images for a game. There should also be a setting to use clear logos in the background if you don't have either of those. Off the top of my head, I can't remember where those options are located. It could be either a bigbox option, or a launchbox option that needs to be selected. I may have more time to look later, but at least that should give you some idea.
  8. Thanks @denmiclaw. I'm not entirely sure why your backgrounds are not blurred, they definitely should be. Which version of RetroFresh are you using? and are they blurred for other views? I like the idea of including the number of players. I'm in the process of updating the theme a bit, so I might just throw that in there with the next release.
  9. Thanks @Porl Hendy. It seems like this should be possible. If I ever get time to look into this, I'll add it to the theme.
  10. Hi @oilertitanfan. Looks like the game details screen takes on the properties of the game list view. I made a custom version that will do what you want. Hopefully it works for you. Good luck. RetroFresh 1.3 custom.zip
  11. Thanks @ciskohansen, I'm pretty satisfied with the way this theme turned out after the latest update. If you have anything particular you would like to see, let me know.
  12. Thanks @NintendudeCT, Try this: Open up LaunchBox. Open up each system you are having issues with and then click on the Image Type dropdown menu, and choose Boxes. Now open up BigBox and let me know if that fixed your problem.
  13. Hey @Kriven, Sure. I've updated RetroFresh to 1.3 with that view. Let me know if you find any issues.
  14. Hey @BlueArrowUK, You are right. The issue here is that I set the grid background to fit the size of a 16:9 aspect ratio video, so any other videos that are not in that widescreen format will not fit to the edges. I played around with trying to stretch 4:3 videos to fit without any luck.
  15. Update 1.2 has been posted on the Downloads page. Lots of information can be found there. Here is the basic change log: Hope people enjoy. Let me know if you run into any issues with this new update. I might have missed something.
  16. I'm glad you managed to work it out. I feel yeah about VLC, as it's also buggy on my system. I usually switch to WMP in BigBox, but neither are really great on my system. Maybe at some point we'll see integration for the open source media player mpv, if that's even possible.
  17. Hey @DJFallout, thanks for trying out the theme. I'm currently in a class for the next 4 hours, so if I can't figure it out for you, maybe somebody else can. First question: Did you extract the RetroFresh folder from the zip file, and place it into the Themes folder, or did you place the RetroFresh zip file into the Themes folder?

    Thanks for the explanation! Those themes look like they do a good job of displaying the game theme videos in full screen. I can see if I can put my own twist on it, but since my theme relies heavily on transparency, I'll have to think of some creative ways to incorporate them.

    There, unfortunately, is no option to make an on/off switch for the blur effect. However, it should be simple enough to take the effect away in the code. The code appears in each of the game views close to the top. You would just need to delete these lines of code: If that's too much, I can always post a copy of the theme without a blurred background this weekend.

    I've been thinking about this. There seems to be a technical issue, in that I only seem to have the ability to add 4 game views (that utilize game wheels) per theme. I thought about maybe making 2 different versions of the theme, one that includes the view we currently have, and another version that looks like the screenshot above, which includes more details like the game description. Then people can choose which one they like best. I'll probably think on it a bit more

    Thanks @kmoney! I've been thinking about using the last games view for something like this. Something that will showcase videos as the main element, but I haven't been able to figure out what is needed. Do you have any ideas of what you would want it to look like, or what you would want to be in a view like this (title, developer, year, description, boxart)? I haven't been able to download videos from emumovies for a while, so it's hard to visualize how it will look.
  22. Awesome! I'll clean up the code and add it to the next release (v1.2). Possibly today or latest by the weekend. I'll need to find some cool platform fanart backgrounds to show this view off
  23. Oh I see @BlueArrowUK... So Something like this then:

    @crack__19 Well, I couldn't figure out how to have 2 TextList views in one theme, so I packaged this view in a special version for you. Let me know if you run into any issues installing it. Download it here: RetroFresh crack__19 Edition.zip The only difference between this version and the regular one is the TextList view.
  25. Thanks @BlueArrowUK Is this kind of what you were thinking of?
