Hey @faeran this time the issue is solved, thank you for taking the time to help me. Great theme!!
Spoiler
-
Is showing everything in capital letters now, but the "letter I" is being overlapped, maybe adjusting the kerning solves it.

@faeran Thanks for the response, now is leaving a blank space instead of the syllable.
It's not a big deal for me i can write those fields in capital letters or replace "Sin clasificar" for another synonymous in spanish. But if this is something general then everyone have the same issue with fighting games.

The last beta is giving me an error every time i press some keys, more specifically the ones that open square brackets (wich is also the one for accent marks) and curly brackets. I don't know if this is a beta issue or i did something wrong, but wasn't happening yesterday with the previous beta.

Hey @faeran great theme, i've been playing around and found a very minor problem. If you write something under Genre, Play Mode or Rating fields with the syllable "fi" (in lower case) in "Textgameview" does not capitalize.
I attach an image where you can see this issue. Just happens with syllable "fi". If i directly write in capital letters there is no issue.

1 hour ago, eatkinola said:
That's currently the only way to do it. There are two ways I could help automate this: (1) have it automatically delete the cache for a theme when you switch to that theme, or (2) create a system menu item for doing this. I kinda like option 1 as it'd quietly do it's thing in the background; the cache would not be deleted when starting BB, only when actually changing to that theme in BB.
Awesome, thanks! I try to keep things documented partly so I can remember how they work later. I do need to document the cache thing better.
No problem, i just thought it was me because i'm doing some changes on the theme for my own use.
Is there any way to change the progress thing for other information or simply delete it? I think is hardcoded...but i have to ask ?
-
@eatkinola cache is not refresing on this theme, i had to do it manually inside "MinimalX/Plugins/Ao.Bigbox.Themer.v3_9_2". I don't know if this is because the changes i made or if it's something related to the plugin (i have no idea about programming).
By the way this is one of the best themes, i've been using this and flux for a long time and i'm amazed how customizable and well documented are your themes, so easy to change everything.

Málaga, south of Spain, one of the sunniest cities in Europe, 320 days of sun a year and near 3000 hours of sunshine per year. Too hot in summer, but good to eat tapas and pescaito frito all year round.

Oh man, this is all i ever wanted!! ? i've been trying to learn how to make a theme for 2 years! but everything i get is to change the background colour! lol how clumsy i am....what an intuitive tool, i love it!

This message was posted 5 minutes ago...something went wrong and i uploaded a lot of images lol, so i deleted it and write it again, sorry for the inconvenience >.<
I'm using LB Plex Condensed by Grila since i came back and i liked the idea of 1:1 images so i've been doing some for my games.
The thing is that i thought that could be a good idea a complementary big box theme to use them as well with videos and logos, keeping it clean and simple. Is easy to create 1:1 images with covers in medium/good quality, and for me is amazing (and time saving) to have all the artwork of the same size.
I made in photoshop 2 different game views, one for 4:3 videos and other for 16:9 videos, so if anyone with the skills want to make this or other theme similar, feel free to do it, i'm just giving an idea
-
@faeran very good theme!! game views looks great but platforms/categories videos in platform views are appearing on the background (not in their position) for a second and then disappearing, probably i'm doing something wrong.
I like the use of the background image and both videos and covers looks perfect together.
-
Thanks @shro2016, that was an amazing work. Sorry if i disappeared and didn't answer before, it's been almost a year but i've been working from 8 AM to 8 PM almost everyday since then, i just recently quit my job and came back.
What's happened to the theme, did you delete it? I would love to try it if possible.
Thank you again
-
Hey @shro2016 , firts of all thank you for your interest on the theme! i love your themes nesicaxlive and griddle boxview.
if i remember well those fonts are elephant and Segoe (Segoe Print probably), but was just an example made in 5 minutes, so make any changes you'd like to make, i trust your judgment. I got a lot of work these days but I'll stay tuned, i'm sure that with you involved this will be amazing.
-
Incredible theme @eatkinola, it's supposed to be an index file in every subfolder? i see an index in the playlist subfolder but there is nothing in the others.
Everything else is working well to me. I really like how are you always innovating and doing different things.

That's not a valid reason, which percentage of the buyers voted on the poll? a lot of people do not even know english to understand the poll itself.If it depends of a poll voted for by a majority of English native speakers, then it will never be implemented.
That said, Jason is doing a great work and i'm sure that he will find an appropiate solution sooner or later, but please.. let us be clear, nothing related with the language will be in the top 15 on the poll, not now not ever.

Box 3D
in Game Media
1 hour ago, Dan said:Thanks - I tried that software and it looks OK. I cannot figure out how to get the picture just on the front of the case, and not the spine. Is this possible?
I am not an expert on the matter but it is possible. You just need to make the canvas (not the image) wider on photosop and play with the dimensions until you see that fits on Imandix (then just save the psd for future use). This is how i do it but probably someone knows a better solution.
Edit: i attached an image with a dvd amaray that i did in a minute to show you that it is possible.

Box 3D
in Game Media
The best for me is Imandix, but it depends of what kind of box do you want to change.
-
This is amazing @vice350z!! , i'm trying (for personal use) to do game themes videos and backgrounds using part of your job (changing toys and game related stuff for every game) and it's incredible, highly customizable and fits perfectly with nearly all themes.
Thanks for sharing the psd files!! It would be amazing if anyone makes more platforms images for this. I tried with nostalgia ones but i can't make them seems natural and i sucks vectorizing or cropping images.

Hey guys, i don't know if there is another thread like this one on here. I have an idea for a theme but i can't get it myself (and i tried with visual studio), so i was thinking that maybe those with the ideas but not the skill, can express them here and if anyone have the time to do it (or if anyone wants to), our ideas may become a reality.
I love themes with big videos and also love themes with backgrounds, so i've been using Grila's work in Translucent, amazing as all his themes. That said i've thought in a couple of views for a new one. I don't even know if this is possible but here we go, don't kill me for the bad quality of the images, i'm new with photosop.
1º View: a game view, without a wheel but you can add one (with 3 to 5 games), also i would like to see the cover or 3D cover but i didn't know where to place it. The icons are missing, i would like them below the publisher. We can look for another place for the genre, and place there the name. This view is based in some images i saw on year in review section in Letterboxd.
2º View: selected game view with no information and the options at the bottom of the screen, and a 16:9 format video.
I will try to make the theme by miself if no one is interested, but this will take months or maybe more. I'm not a designer and i did this in a few minutes so is just preliminary and basic.

Hey guys! I've been around here for months now, i really apreciate the work that all of you are doing to improve both Launchbox and the database. I recently (yesterday) became a db moderator so i am taking this seriously because i want to do something in return for such amazing content that you are offering here, and well..because i can't stand to look at my games all well organized with missing or wrong metadata (i'm kind of obsessed).
I've been trying to do my best since then.. trying to be as much accurate as possible and looking in a lot of sources of information for every change submited, even playing the games to not make a mistake. In just one day i realized that moderators are defenseless against trolls. First a Mario game was marked for deletion (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island i guess) at firts i thought...well it's just a mistake... then Bomberman 64, and then another one, none of them were duplicate, and at that moment i started to think that something was wrong. Today i've been receiving (at least 8 in a row) things like the one on the image that i'm attaching... changing Super Famicom games region to Brazil, changing front covers to back covers, back covers to front covers...most of the times the changes are rejected but sometimes i'm sure that they are accepted.
I already opened a ticket on bitbucket suggesting that the delete game option must be available just for a few well known moderators. In addition i would like to suggest something to report suspicious changes or something, so if someone changes are being reported massively by database moderators, Jason or to whom it may concern could investigate.
Could be this possible or is too controversial?
PD: I've been trying to avoid google translator, my english is terrible, i'm sorry

Nostalgia
in Big Box Custom Themes
Posted · Edited by qu1r0s
Hey i made the translation, hope you don't mind @EduInmigrante, @eatkinola helped me out a few times so i want to return the favour ?.
Explanation
1- There is a difference between english and spanish in the use of capital letters for titles, in spanish you should only use one at the beginning of the title and in proper nouns.
2- "Calificaciones" is technically correct, but in this context it is more correct to use "puntuación" and/or the plural form "puntuaciones".
3- UCP is also correct as the acronym used in spanish for "Unidad Central de Procesamiento". But most people use the english one (CPU).
4- I'm not sure if there is a word in spanish for "media" in this context. "Medios de comunicación" is used to refer to radio,television,press,etcetera as a whole.
5- "Lista de Reproducción" sounds weird to me... i understand "Lista de reproducción" as a set of music tracks, but i wasn't sure so i didn't change it.
6- You can translate quit as "salir", "cerrar" or "abandonar". "Dejar" is to leave.
7- The physical object with buttons is "mando" in spanish, "controlador" is more common as the translation for driver.
8- "Prensa" is used for newspappers and/or magazines. The spanish verbs for press are "pulsar" or "presionar".
9- Other changes are "Sonar" (verb) for "Sonido" (noun), "Reinicializar" (incorrect) for "Reiniciar" (correct) and "Terminado" (singular) for "Terminados" (plural).
