Awesome! The build is practically ready to go, waiting on Jason to finalize his bigbox changes and officially release 10.12. In the meantime I’m just making a few tweaks here and there. I’ll put a video together this weekend to cover all the changes in 1.0.7.0
-
Perfect! Then you’ll be ready for the next build. I did exactly the same thing with the marquees I was playing around with, built some of the static assets on my Mac then pulled them into a template and fired off a mass build, the new version saves the images with the database id ? plus many other changes to make it more accessible
-
You’re welcome, I’m curious... are you creating custom images via the editor?
-
Use ActiveGame.LaunchBoxDbId SelectedGame.LaunchBoxDbId then rename your custom file names to use database ID instead of game titles

It is 100% on the list, there were other things holding that up
-
Ok I gotcha, so you want to see the playlist name if viewing games by playlist, I am yet to add playlist support to the theme creator , once I do I will add the relevant metadata fields
-
Game platform doesn’t show the platform name associated with a game?
-
You are welcome
-
I’ve increased it from 4 to 9, expect this version to be out in 1-2 weeks
-
You need 6 custom images? ?
-
Last time I checked bigbox does not allow the wall view to use selected item videos , if that has changed then I can allow the selected item video to be used
-
I think you have done a fantastic job of creating this Theme Harry and I wasn't even aware that you were putting one together! I love the imagery and I love the animated Picard.. very subtle! but it works. -
The Theme creator does not work that way, it has a set of preset UI Elements that you essentially drop onto a blank canvas and manipulate the properties, think of PowerPoint but as you add UI elements to the canvas it is generating XAML behind the scenes
-
The Creator is 100% GUI, you do not need to know how to code in order to build a theme, I’ve tried to shy away from using coding jargon. i have YouTube videos on my channel that could assist you but as this app is in Alpha the interface has gone thru a few changes but the overall how to remains the same. Start with this video as I build a theme and various views from scratch But I do include a theme for people to play with/reverse engineer. no extra software is required, if you have launchbox then you should be good to go.
-
Usually I place a new build of the Creator on the forum right after posting a video, but as this build leverages a new feature in BigBox 10.11 I will not post the new build until Bigbox 10.11 is out of beta. in the meantime...
-
Are you trying to transfer the published BigBox Theme or the Theme you are currently designing ?
-
That’s more of a bigbox question to Jason, he controls the content, I simply create the xaml
-
no grouping yet but you can select all the launchbox metadata images/text
