    Over the next few weeks, I'll be working on giving Retrotastic the 9.4+ treatment. I'll also be trying to fix/upgrade some of the code and upgrade the themer plugin to the newest version. If anyone has any suggestions, while the code is fresh in my head, now is a good time.

    Hi @Sath. That was a strange one. Looks like there was an issue with a blank space in the code, which had some kind of invisible symbol causing an error. I've released version 2.0.1 which fixes the issue. Let me know if you are still having issues after installing the update.

    CoverBox 2.0 is here! Every theme has now been merged into 1, therefore this version only works in LaunchBox 9.4 and above. Combined every theme into 1 CoverBox theme. Install once and have access to them all! Theme now uses the newly integrated horizontal text scrolling control and find string converter. New Arcade view has been added to the theme. Added a main Platform and Text Games View based on GCFE. Every font has been integrated into the Theme. No more need to install them separately.

    That's a cool idea. Unfortunately, that's not the direction I went with for 2.0

    Happy to say that I have just finished coding CoverBox 2.0. Had to make some tough choices of which options got into the base theme, but I ended up using the ones that the game details page work with, and which ones I was enjoying using. I'm thinking of adding the others as alternate views, but that will delay the release of the theme a bit.

    Hi @MangaAddict. Thanks a lot. I am currently working on combining all the themes into 1 as we speak. At the same time, I'm going to make a plugin that includes all the CoverBox fonts (there are a lot), so people don't have to manually install the fonts anymore, they will just work.

    Yes, I don't think those 2 themes converted the styles properly. Currently, I'm working on combining all the themes into one, but it's a lot of manual changes to each theme, so it's going to take some time. Once complete, it should fix any issue any individual theme would have had with the update. PSP is definitely an option for the future.

    Arcade is a little finicky, as there's not one standard main image size, or even a standard video snap size. Might be able to make some custom sizes for arcade playlists, depending on whether a certain playlist has a size standard for both posters and video snaps. Although, if someone uses the arcade video themes, they are all 4:3 videos, which the standard layout works well with.

    Thanks @ea4492. This is definitely possible. Would need to make it fit into the clean layout that this theme is going for. If I can make it work with little impact to performance, I'll get it in there.

    I don't think the default video player can do this. It's possible that one of the custom plugins could do this, but would have to investigate and weigh the pros/cons.

    Interesting, thanks for pointing that out. It has been fixed in the recent update.

    Hi @qu1r0s. Make sure Platform Background videos are turned off. Let me know if that fixes it for you.

    Yes. I asked myself the same question when I was developing retrotastic, but in the end couldn't find a solution to delaying the loading of a video. Someone would have to develop a custom plugin for that, or it would need to be built into Bigbox. I did read somewhere that using collapsed visibility makes it so it doesn't render the control, but I have no idea whether that would translate to better performance.
  16. faeran
    You could try to set the video's visibility to collapsed, and then animate it to visible after a certain number of seconds.

    Hi @bedrone. That looks nice. Was it hard to mod? You could try Vertigo, the vertical theme I created back in September. I wouldn't mind seeing how well it functions in a vertical cab.

    Hey @Jason Carr. Tried this out tonight with Beta 9. Unfortunately, unable to get the FIndStringConverter to work. It's unable to find FindStringConverter. It only seems to be able to find the ImageToSourceConverter in the namespace.
  19. faeran
    Hi @Jason Carr. Does Beta 9 also include the HelperControl integration?
  20. faeran
    Hi @efiye. Are you using a beta build? There may be issues with them as the theming system is getting adjusted.
  21. faeran
    just throwing in my 2 cents to say, this is a dream @Jason Carr. Thank you so much for this update. ?

    Hi @Nyny77. This is based on this 4:3 theme.

    BigBox has the ability to use different themes for different platforms/playlists. So, yes, this is completely possible.

    CoinOP View File As per version 3.0 this theme is now rebuilt from the ground up for performance and optimization. The theme showcases an arcade cabinet in an 80s style arcade with a dynamic marquee that can pull from a number of fallback images on a per-game basis, making sure there's always something displayed in the marquee.
