Did you switch views? Can you post a screenshot?

I'm in the process of working on two new games views and one platform view. Here is the first --

Thanks Adu. It's currently not possible to do what you asked. You can hide the video for three seconds and show a screenshot, but the video still loads and plays. So, that kind of defeats the purpose of what you're asking. I actually wanted to do the same thing on another of my themes.

@Sath -- Right now I pretty much have everything updated and just need to put it all together. I like your platform background ideas and might do those in future versions. I'm not a big fan of the "wheel." So when I make themes I try to get away from that, to a certain extent.

Thanks! I plan to update it in the next month or so.

Old or new, sports games are always fun.

All good ideas.

@fromlostdays -- First you want to install the font Teko SemiBold, it's located in the fonts folder. If you press enter or whatever button you use on your controller in the screen that you showed me, you will open the game. If you go to the BigBox home screen and select Options/Game Menu and enable "show play" you'll see the option in the top left of the screen to play the game.

@isilkin -- I think the box covers idea is great. I just messed around with it for 10 minutes or so, and I think it works really well. My only question right now is, what replaces the box cover that is currently in the top left corner? Also, the platform view that @Cookz718 did is very cool. I'd like to add that at some point.

@Retro808 @Cookz718 -- I fixed the 'Total Games' alignment issue in Platforms view. I did some snooping around and figured out what appears to be a good fix. Could you try the latest version, 1.0.1, and let me know if it looks ok. I have a low resolution monitor at work (where I am right now) and can't see if it scales correctly. Thanks

I'm a bit confused since the Game Count Grid Row 1 height is 40. Did you change it from 40 to 47?

Huh... Let me try. I might need to update the theme. Thanks for letting me know.

Is that without disabling the show emulator option?

Thanks! I hear what you're saying about the list view. I beat myself up over how I wanted to do that for a while. I just couldn't come up with a way that I liked other than what I settled on. I'm pumped to hear you want to create some custom images! Also, I couldn't test this theme on a 4k display. I think the way it's written it should translate well. But please let me know if there are issues.

I see what it is. I guess this is a limitation of the current theming options. If you have BigBox/Options/Platform Details/Show Default Emulator checked, that will cause the issue. It shouldn't but does. Maybe I can request that get fixed. So for now if you want it to look correct you'll have to disable -- Show Default Emulator. To expound a bit, this was the only way I could do it to include Playlists in the game count.

Could you post a fullscreen screenshot

Thanks! What resolution are you running at?

Alyssa - A Modern Theme View File This is a modern looking theme. It has 2 platform views and 4 game views. One of the game views is very simalair to the Xbox One Interface. There's lots of art included in this theme. I've also created and included some custom playlist banners. If anyone wants to create and share any custom art for this theme that would be awesome. I intend to add more views. Feel free to offer suggestions. To install -- just extract the Alyssa folder into your Launchbox/themes folder.

Thanks! The latest view set me back some, but it's almost done. I'm probably going to continue adding more views, but I think I'll just finish up what I have now and release it. I can add and update as time goes on. I'd like to think in the next few days I'll post it.

This is a part of it. Another view.

Here's one more that gives you a look at a custom playlist banner.

This is the last view I'm working on for now. It's pretty similar to the Xbox One.
