Y2Guru - Plain and Simple.zip View File Here's my first (and probably last) Theme submission, if it wasn't for the work of @CriticalCid and his CriticalZoneV2 - BlueBox theme I probably would never have attempted this, but I had a lot of fun putting this together and now its time for me to focus on building my collection and correcting missing and incorrect artwork :-) Special thanks to @CriticalCid @keltoigael @eatkinola and @Grila Simply download, unzip and place the unzipped Y2Guru - Plain and Simple folder into LaunchBox\Themes\ Please read the Installation and Setup Guide.rtf located inside the Y2Guru - Plain and Simple folder. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed putting this theme and artwork together. Cheers, Dave Submitter y2guru Submitted 11/18/2017 Category Big Box Custom Themes  

@Lordmonkus @CriticalCid @Jason Carr can I retrieve the platforms default emulator? (as I see it displayed via the default platform view, i think its TextFiltersView) I tried variations of the following but no Bueno Text" Value="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.DefaultEmulator}" Text" Value="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.DefaultEmulation}"

Thanks guys! Like I said not a showstopper ?

yep, those are the culprits

here are some recent grab

appreciate the quick response, its not a showstopper by any means, just wanted to tighten things up

I'm wrapping up the development of my theme and I'm just tidying up some loose ends, one of which is ensuring only my views are used, but for whatever reason even after updating the themesettings.xml 1 platform view and 1 game view is being displayed when I toggle thru my views. please help

Very odd but I had issues with it the other night, it just didn’t want to add the .Dll’s. Glad you got it working though

And the .dll is housed in one of the reference paths defined in VS?

And proceeded to save... right?

Did you open visual studio and add the reference to the new .dll ?

That’s awesome @grila !! You do great work! Can’t wait to check this out later

I really appreciate all the nice comments, I will be releasing this in the coming weeks, just finalizing the graphics and text colors. Embedded @grila control last night so object placement took a priority, but looks fantastic now

ah, my bad :-( but hey.. it worked nonetheless!!

what the hell was I drinking on Friday??!! I downloaded the Switch theme I believe and borrowed the .dll, would that have made a difference? anyway... ill add the reference via VS etc ..

@grila I just got home, so as the .dll is named differently do I just go into VS and reference this one and make the necessary changes to my XAML ?

@cvg thanks a lot! It has been a blast putting this together with the aid of some truly talented people on here.

You are da man!! Can’t thank you enough ? I have another idea if you want to hear about it ? and it’s not related to this.

I'm about 98% complete with my theme. I am still playing text scaling and colors due to testing on both desktop and GPD Win, a couple of niggly issues that I'm awaiting solutions on from the forum. in the meantime here are some captures from my GPD Win 10 (I'm at work)

@Lordmonkus @neil9000 @CriticalCid @eatkinola please help ! I changed the ThemeSettings.XML (by copying the latest from the default theme) but I still have 2 views that will show up even though I have disabled everything but my own views. These 2 views continue to show up ....Platform Wheel 3 and Text List with Details, big question is.... does my theme settings.xml (copied from the default theme of the latest update) have all the entries? I have attached 2 screen captures from Big Box options and the themesettings.xml

@Grila I have another idea and it relates to the coverflow:flowcontrol spacing property, please send me a direct message and i'll explain in more detail.

I have a GPD win 10 that I’m currently testing out my own theme (Now using your .dll) I’d be happy to test your theme ?

1. you are awesome if you could make that change, otherwise I can just clone my view and remove the battery.. either way is cool, I wouldn't go out of the way for me :-) 2. I was just curious as I had an example stored away ready for me to code this weekend, but I stumbled on your post and saw that you had already developed and uploaded a dll :-) why re-invent the wheel ! figured I would attach my work in progress as I am after all using your .dll ! and a modified Critical Zone - Blue Box, @CriticalCid @eatkinola - yes guys I've still been working on my theme! and it has been driving my wife nuts.
