Thanks again
Actually, 'Aplicaciones/Versiones adicionales' is the correct translation. I don't think it should be changed.
Is just that I personally prefer to not have cropped text, so changing it to 'Otras versiones / CDs' (Other versions / Discs) makes sense to me, but maybe not for everyone else.
Thats why I think I should edit my own files but not the official translation.
I have used the Zeta Resource Editor of the thread you have provieded me and have already opened and changed the line I mentioned. So, now I don't know how to finish. Having changed the .resx file, how do I insert it in my LaunchBox?
Thanks for your answers

Thanks for the answer
If I delete the code of the grid, the video dissapears, but nothing is shown.
Last year you helped me to show a clear logo in the BigBox theme so I used that info and tried copy-pasting others part of code to get it to work as I wanted and now the video has been changed for a game title screenhot. Thanks a lot
If someone is interestedm this is what I used:
<coverFlow:FlowImage ImageType="Screenshot - Game Title" DataContext="{Binding SelectedGame}" Grid.Row="1" Stretch="Uniform" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Top" Visibility="{Binding TitleVisibility}" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality"/>
For my second question, I wanted to know if we can manually edit the translation of the LaunchBox interface
'Additional app/version' has been translated as 'Aplicaciones/versiones adicionales' in spanish. Which is an accurate translation. But it's such a long sentence that it's cropped to 'Aplicaciones/versiones adici...'. So I just want to edit it to make it shorter.
Thanks

Hi everyone
I am trying a small modification to the default theme, but I am not succeeding.
When I select which game I want to play, I see on the left the details of the game and its video (this is the Wall4 view).
When I select the game, in the menu to run it I see the same video again and it also restarts. I would like that it is not a video in that second screen, but the startup screenshot.
Is this a difficult adjustment or could it be done with some small change?
Thanks
PS: I would like to ask another question in case there is no need to open more topics: Can I change the text of the Launchbox translation? On the left you can see that 'Additional application/version' is such a long text that it is cut off, so I would like to modify it manually. Is this possible or we don't have access to the translations?
Thanks again -
Oh, what a pity
Yeah, all my points are softcore achievements. I find them much more fun than hardcore ones.
I thought I had to configure something to show one or the other
Thanks for the answer

In the meantime, you could replace all the images in your Box Art folder (save them in backup) with all the images in your Screenshots folders.
It's not the best solution, because you will lose the ability to see the box art, but until the feature exists it will at least allow you to see screenshots.

Thanks for the new update
I have a minor question. RetroAchievements is back, but a line at the top of launchbox shows RetroAchievements points as 0. Do I have to configure something to show my real score? If I go to the RetroAchievements page it does show my score and not just 0, so I don't know if I have to manually tell Launchbox to check the softcore score
Thanks

Hi, it's me again
I'm replying here in order to not open another topic.
Can you have multiple banners for a single platform?
I know that in the desktop version, if you have multiple images (with -1, -2, etc...) one or the other is selected randomly.
Does that work here? I have created two PSone banner but it only shows the first one always.
Thanks
-
Thanks for the info
But somehow, it doesn't refresh the image after I select a new one
There is no Super Famicom / Super Nintendo EU banner, so I'm trying to update that image
EDIT: Well, I don't know how, but I have created a folder to sort my custom images, and now it works automatically. I didn't even use the Edit Media option.
I'm no good at photoshop, but I like the result, so thank you
-
In the Android version, is one of the option for standard views (its called Banners).
When I select a platform, then I do use a theme (the Grid is my choice).
That's why I can't find the images. There is no 'banner theme'... or I can't find it.

Hello
I would like to ask if there is any way to edit the Platform Banner images.
I want to customize them to show some of the games I like the most from each platform, but I can't find the images in any folder to modify them.To be sure, I am referring to these images:
And it's not like I'm asking for any programming or for someone to do it. I would simply want to be able to edit those images myself to make them different.Thanks

Just checking if you ever had any success at all. Still think it would be amazing!
Maybe look over the second tab that has all the screenshots and video and see if it help put it into the first main tab. I can't make out where the separate tabs are in the code.Hi 5thWolf
I have not been able to get the video to display on the front page. Not even close.
I was able to move the 3D box to the left side rather than the right, but then instead of doing the animation of appearing from outside the screen it appeared from the middle. I was trying to change that, but still the box has a diagonal tilt in the 3D effect that looks good for its right position but it looks inverted to the left and I couldn't change that anymore.
So in the end I kept it with the original design.
Right now I switch between BigDetails, Omni or BigBox depending on which screen I use. BigDetails fits well with the SteamDeck because of the size I use. Omni works better for me with larger screens. If they are smaller I lose information. And I turn to BigBox when I feel like exploring the collection to discover something I'm going to start new.

I wasn't sure if I had to do something

Hi everyone
I wanted to ask if using Lunchbox for Android register your gameplay time or that can only be done with the desktop version.
I have Launchbox installed in OneDrive, so I play it in different devices (primarily I use a laptop and SteamDeck, but algo a home desktop). This way, my playtime and saves are always avaiable in all devices. I was thinking about adding also my phone to this devices, but I made a small test: after playing a game in my phone I changed to the laptop and the playcount had increased by one, but play time did not registered.
Should I configure something o use any specific android theme or is just not possible?
Thanks

The two comboboxes are in SideBarView game details stuff is GameDetailsView. SideBarView it's fairly easy to find the comboboxes. Game Details is going to be a pain to do what you're wanting as that file is pretty large since I have like 4 different views in that one file lol.
Thanks
With your help I have found where can I edit the Search box and moved it to the right so no longer overlap

@C-Beats Hi C-Beats
My resolution (both in laptop and desktop pc) is 1920x1080 and Windows adds a 125% scale.
Implementing features so that you can dynamically change sizes sounds like a nightmare. I wouldn't expect such work if the theme is great for everyone else.
But I would appreciate if you could indicate where in the code can those changes be made, and with that I would be testing different changes by myself. I've seen in your screenshot how the spacing is better, so I guess is just a resolution thing.
Thanks

Hi
I've been asking a lot of question trying to learn how to edit themes.
Right now, I'm wondering if we could make a left sidebar smaller. We now have platform icons, so maybe we could decide to not need the platform name and I could reduce the side of that area to just an icon and the game count. It would be just a small colum at the left and we would gain more space for the game boxes and the game details.
But there seems to be a minimum size and we can't make it small enough
Thanks

This is turning out to be a pretty great theme. I'm trying lots of different themes trying to adjust them to what I would like my Launchbox to be.
I have some feedback for Omni in case its useful.
To better explain it, I have this screenshot:
• The Platform filter and Search box overlaps. Can we edit the theme so that the Search box appears more to the right?
• I've seen that the default theme has a play button with more options. Here, if I have different versions, hacks or just multiple CDs, I can't select what to launch
• Can we move that line with favourite, star rating and completed? It's current position displaces the video snap and is cropped. If we could show that information at the top (over the clear logo) we would gain enough space to see the full video.
• Also, I don't know if its possible, but can we force thre columns at the bottom? That way, we could see the full information. Right now play time, times played and release date are not shown unless you clieck to see the second page
Thanks.
Even if it's not feasible what I'm asking, it's a really nive theme. Great work

I completely agree with that and that would be a perfect solution, but I guess quite hard to do the code behind it. a Simple GUI Theme editor without any visual studio coding knowledge based of the current Default theme to tweak it as you would prefer (for me I'd first get rid of most of the curvatures, especially on the cover images) or perhaps a more realistic approach would be to add "advanced" settings in Launchbox's Main Window Theme involving theme visuals/elements in the options menu. There are a ton of options already available, but it looks like there is some demand for even more.
I try to modify parts of the code, or modify numbers to try to adjust it, but I can't get it to work. Sometimes it seems like changing something doesn't do anything, so I don't know what I'm modifying or what I should be modifying.
In my case, I have managed to remove the carousel image in the platform details (now you only see the small image to select). But I've been trying for hours to make the last played, most played and random buttons appear vertically and it's impossible. I can't get anything to work.
For your case, I've tried going to BoxesContentView and have changed
<Border Height="{Binding ActualHeight, ElementName=ContentImage}" Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=ContentImage}" Background="#2A2B34" BorderThickness="0" CornerRadius="10"/>
After setting that CornerRadius to 0 now game boxes are not rounded. Does that help?

Hello, "good news, everyone"
Thanks for the great work. The updates and constant improvement of Launchbox are appreciated. I love how this new theme is coming along. It's like a hybrid of Default with Big Details.
To the comments that have been made, I wanted to add asking if we can have ways to configure to adjust the theme to our liking. With so many different users, we each give value to different parameters, so making something perfect for everyone I understand is impossible, but at least we can make adjustments to adapt it to what we are looking for.
I don't know how to program and the times I try to make modifications I end up going crazy until I get something (and then there is an update and it erases everything I did XD).
For example, what do I modify to adjust the carousel? In games I like to have the video and images, but in the platform I don't need it, so I would want to remove it in the platform and give more size to the 'most played', 'last played' and 'random' boxes which are buttons that I love and I would want to put them vertically occupying all the space gained from removing the carousel.
In the details of the game I give value to time and now that information is not seen if you don't scroll (maybe with a bigger resolution you see the information differently, but I only see up to the play button and two more lines). If I could remove the title text from above the carousel I could gain space. Maybe even if I make the top box with the logo smaller I could get all the information up to the manual and it would be great.
I understand that we can not be asking for custom settings for each one, so I think it would be nice if you could give us customization guidelines for those who do not know how to program.
Thanks

Anyone willing to help add video preview in the right corner and move the 3D box to the left?
If you discover a way to do it, please let me know. I think it could be great
I will be trying to do what you asked, but don't really know how to program, so I will be changing values trying to get it to work.
If I'm lucky I will post what I get

What should we edit to create our custom position? And how can we make this pop-up content smaller (for me it has far bigger font size than the rest of Launchbox)
I think this feature could be used so that the game details pop-up could take the same space as the platform filter of the left of the screen. That way, even if you only have one monitor, the game details would appear in an area that would not cover the selection of games. And if I want to go back to select a different platform I would only need to close the game details.
If we could make this, would it be posibble to check that this game details window would allways popup when selecting a game without neededing and additional click?
Thanks

I was trying to copy the code for the game platform trying to get the game clear logo, but with no luck
Your answer works perfectly.
Now I will be trying to get it centered without the platform logo, but I think I will be able to do it
Thanks
EDIT: It looks great, thanks again

Hi
I've been searching if this question has been asked before, but haven't found this particular case.
I would like to see the clear logo of a game instead of its title, but I don't know how to edit a theme
I'm attaching a screenshot to make sure where I'm talking about.
Would this be really hard? Is it been planned for a future update?
Thanks

Hello
Is it difficult to add the option by ourselves?
I'm using The Grid view and it would be great to see playtime next to the year and genre
