  1. Hey @Rincewind. We figured it out. It's a bug with the way the wheel pulls custom images while using multiple themes,
  2. First, you will want to make sure you are on the latest beta release. Then, I also recommend creating your own custom images. I probably don't have the exact same games in my library that you do. The project files that you can download should have everything you need to do so. Follow this video if you don't know how: Move the created files: From: COMMUNITY Theme Creator\My Project Files\Night at the Arcade\Custom Images\Custom Images 1\Games\Arcade To: LUANCHBOX\Themes\Night at the Arcade\Images\Games\Custom Images 1\Arcade

  5. I will be streaming the creation of the next theme today around 2pm ET on Twitch.
  6. This theme is definitely getting long in the tooth. It's on my list to recreate it using the COMMUNITY Theme Creator, live on one of my future Theme Streams.

    Even better. Create a text file and just change it to a *.mp4

    Yeah, that's just not how it works. I guess you can put a fake video file for your playlists, and then it would not play anything.

    The way the videos work is the way Big Box is designed, and not actually a design of a particular theme. Let's say you go into Nintendo Entertainment System and you land on the Action category, Big Box first looks for a playlist video, if it can't find one, then it defaults back to the platform video. You could have playlist specific videos, either in your general videos folder, or make them theme specific. If you want playlist video to play across all themes, place it in: LAUNCHBOX\Videos\Playlists If you want playlist video to play for a specific theme, place it in: LAUNCHBOX\Themes\[theme]\Videos\Playlists Also, you can make a playlist video specific to a platform, or have it more general, depending on the name you give it. Specific to a platform: eg: Nintendo Entertainment System Action.mp4 General: eg: Action.mp4
  10. Try something like this. <Image Source="{Binding Path=SelectedGame.CartFrontImagePath, FallbackValue='pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Themes/[theme]/Images/Default/Nintendo 64.png', TargetNullValue='pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Themes/[theme]/Images/Default/Nintendo 64.png'}" /> However, like y2guru suggests, this is built into the COMMUNITY Theme Creator, along with a ton of other functions that are not currently possible with just xaml.
  11. Depending on how interested people are, I can release the project files, which will allow people to edit the theme in the COMMUNITY Theme Creator. However, you can't do what you describe, unfortunately.
  12. Thanks @CDBlue. I doubt it has something to do with how I'm creating the themes. The Creator is pretty structured in how it works. Which themes were created in the theme creator that you feel don't have this problem? I can bring it up with y2guru and see if he can identify.

  15. This series of videos was replaced by the Theme Workshop. Which can be found on the Unbroken Software YouTube channel and goes live weekly. https://www.youtube.com/c/UnbrokenSoftwareLLC/live This post has been left up for archival purposes. Retro Faeran's Theme Stream Twitch ◽ YouTube The Theme Stream is my running series where the goal is to create (or recreate) a theme for Big Box while I stream the entire process for people to watch and join in on. Veterans, or aspiring themers alike can watch, join in the process, ask questions, and grow our theming skills together. The published theme will then be posted here on the LaunchBox forums for people to try out, along with the COMMUNITY Theme Creator Project Files, for people to mess around with. Past videos will be posted on both my Twitch and YouTube channels, and links to them will be posted below. All themes will be built using @y2guru's COMMUNITY Theme Creator, which allows themes to be built with little, to no, coding. Place and manipulate layered elements on a canvas, add effects, and animation, without needing to know one bit of code. It's simple to use, and if you have any interest in theme creation, I recommend you download it right now.

    This just means that a banner image wasn't created for those particular games. I created a tutorial which shows how to create banners for all your games fairly quickly. Find it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UtK2S7Owo8Y Then place the images you created in this location: LAUNCHBOX\Themes\BannerBox\Images\Games\Custom Images 1

    Hey @xevidroid. Sure. Love to see what you come up with. I'll send you a PM.

    BannerBox

    I'm pretty sure that you will need to render these images on a monitor that is at least 1920x1080, as the height of the image is 1080 pixels. @y2guru correct me if I'm wrong.
  20. faeran

    BannerBox

    Yeah, very odd issue. In total, I'm seeing, the playmode, genre, and ratings icons, controller, community star rating and the background video. @y2guru do they all use a specific plugin to function? @matris Can you show screenshots of the game details page, and the platform view that's similar to this one?
  21. faeran

    BannerBox

    Just to make sure we are on the same page. Here is the list of game views that are in the theme right now: Horizontal Wheel 1 - The normal banner games view Horizontal Wheel 2 - The normal banner games view with quicker animations Horizontal Wheel 3 - Simple banner view where the banners never fade away Text Games View - Text view with the text menu on the right Here's the list of Platform Views: Platform Wheel 1 - Normal banners view Platform Wheel 2 - Normal banners view that plays music from your videos Platform Wheel 3 - Banners view that fades out and shows platform details

    Sorry to hear that @rexryan. Download the version I just uploaded of the base theme again. Rename your current BigBox folder, and place the new base them in the themes folder. Then just copy your game banners into the base theme, which is located in: BannerBox\Images\Games\Custom Images 1\

    Version 1.1 has been released for both the normal version and base version of BannerBox. If you already have BannerBox installed, best to use the base version and overwrite your folder with it. Here are the changes: Added new Platform View - Video music plays in the background Added new Platform view - Detailed view Added new games view - quicker animations Added a few banners from the community
