    I'm leaning towards that you may need to unblock the plugin DLLs. You can actually right click the theme zip file, go into the properties and click on the unblock button: Then extract the zip's contents into the theme folder. Let me know if that makes any difference.

    That's ok. Which view were you trying to access when you got that message? Was it just the platform view, or were you trying to enter one of the game views?

    Awesome @Dan Patrick. I would really love to do more of those theme streams, once I get some time. And I can't wait to see your themes so we can play around with them. Also, are you going to post your clear logo pack?

    Good eye ?

    Yup, that's correct. In TextFiltersView.xaml, you'll need to look for the following and adjust the Y axis:

    Don't forget that you have the ability to use multiple different themes in the set up at the same time. Use a platform view from one theme, and a games view from another.

    You would have to go into the code and find the part relating to the video and give it a good hard press with the delete button. This can be found in the TextGamesView.xaml file. Delete all of this: This was only intended to be a proof of concept to show off the new wall view wheel features that came with the 11.10 update.

    Yup @neil9000, you got it. It will be a good journey we can all go on exploring all the new tools we just received and how we can all use them to build some cool themes. Yup, there's always lots of pieces going on with themes. Different sections of the code related to other sections of the code. Lots of interdependencies. But, it's worth the journey if you can keep at it. If you have any specific questions about the code, you can always PM me.

    That is something I didn't add to this theme. It's something that can be added for anyone willing to take a stab at it. The code is freely available.

    For SNES, it uses the platform specific view files, which you can find in Themes\The POC\Views\WallGamesView. This just means that in order to recognize it, you must be using the standard LaunchBox naming convention for the system (Super Nintendo Entertainment System). If you have a different name for a system, you can simply change the names of the files that are in there. But do know that this view hard codes the height and width of the boxes to provide uniformity. It's supposed to be cycling through different background fanart for the system you have selected. You are correct in a lot of this. You are also right that this is just a demonstration of the new features and not an actual full fledge theme.

    Something you can try is to right click the zip file, go into properties and check off "Unblock", before extracting its contents.

    You'll have to give time to y2guru to get all the new stuff added to the Theme Creator. At the moment, it's only possible through coding XAML.

    Is that possible? Yes. Here's a couple versions you can use to overwrite the default: Video: TextFiltersView.xaml Platform Background Image: TextFiltersView.xaml I didn't have time to test them, so you would have to tell me if any issues crop up.
  15. faeran
    It hasn't. Maybe you can provide more information about your crashes.

    From the looks of it, you could get away with creating a similar looking view, but there would be some differences based on the toolset that we currently have and how Big Box functions in general. It is definitely more possible than it ever was before the new wall view changes.

    I'm thinking of creating a video that would showcase how the new code works in this update. It's actually a lot more than just wall view changes.

    Looks like you are using a theme in the screenshot that probably utilizes Videos in the background. You'll want to download those videos in LaunchBox via: Tools > Download Platform/Playlist Videos

    You're right @neil9000. We'll need to give some time for the new features to get integrated into the Theme Creator. Until then, you can dig into the code and take a look.

    This theme requires LaunchBox v11.10 or above. --------- The new LaunchBox update is here, and with it comes many new Big Box theming features. The highlight amongst them is a brand new Wall View. This theme showcases the new wall view by providing 2 inspired views utilizing the new Wall View CoverFlow wheel. What kind of things can the new CoverFlow wheel do? Download this theme and take a look. The views use the following artwork: Clear Logos Screenshots Background Fanart BoxArt - Front Game Videos Don't forget to set your screenshot image priority to screenshot - gameplay. Have fun. Thanks to @PlayingKarrde for clarifying that this theme is loosely based on a couple different themes from the Pegasus frontend.

    Kind of sounds like you are referring Retrotastic version? It would be LaunchBox you would have to find the stable release for. The latest stable release of LaunchBox is 11.9 - Retroastic works well in this build. The current beta version of LaunchBox is 11.10-beta-6 - Retrotastic has issues with freezing due to the secondary overlay video in the platform views. Check your version of LaunchBox and see if you are on a beta release. If you are and don't want to deal with buggy beta releases, you may want to opt out of them.

    oh right, that one is specifically looking for the LBDB ID, and it's more of a long winded solution to solve especially if you are going to utilize both name types. The community project files files are readily available for download. Load them into the theme creator and you can take a peak around.

    Hi Layer, the only thing I can think of for a workaround, is to remove illegal characters (characters that can't go into a file name - maybe change colon with a dash) from the game's name, then adjust your image names accordingly.

    Are you running a stable release or the current beta?
