wallmachine Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 (edited) @Jason Carr is it possible to make the coverflow have separate properties so that we can change the opacity and other options? example: the game that is selected has no opacity the rest of the logos have some type of opacity Edited December 6, 2018 by wallmachine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that some themes do it with the wheels already, but I doubt that solution would work for CoverFlow. I'll add it to my list. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wallmachine Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 (edited) @Jason Carr you mentioned that 'some themes do it with the wheels already' what do you mean by this? are you able to explain a bit further, examples? are you able to elaborate on the horizontal and vertical wheel effects as checking the documentation or api page i am unable to find further information. Maybe a rewrite/update of documentation and what is now possible could be handy? Edited December 8, 2018 by wallmachine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a rewrite of documentation could be handy? After closer look, they're doing it with brightness (such as in the CriticalZone theme), but not with opacity. So it looks like that would indeed require coding on my part. Yes, I do need to update the documentation in a number of places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Fundamental theme has the wheel opacity effect achieved with an opacity mask for the wheel. The selected game is 100, and it drops to zero in both directions (up and down).

I believe it would if you tightened up the opacity mask... EDIT: Ahh, I see what your getting at. The second logo is actually behind the selected one. That is impossible with the current implementation of the wheel. Edited December 8, 2018 by Grila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radicalblues Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 I'm trying to do a very simple change to Unified Refried, trying to display months and days (default is just years). I'm trying this code: Text="{Binding Path=ActiveGame.ReleaseDate, StringFormat=yyyy.mm.dd}" But for some weird reason I don't get months to display. All days are fine, but months are always 00, any ideas guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radicalblues Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Apologies for double posting... I'm tweaking Unified Refried just a little more, and I want to add Developer and Publisher before Genre in the lower bar. So I find this string: <!-- GENRE --> <TextBlock Text=" Genre: " FontFamily="{StaticResource FontBebasNeue}" FontSize="50" Foreground="Red" DockPanel.Dock="Left" TextAlignment="Left" /> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=ActiveGame.GenresString}" FontFamily="{StaticResource FontBebasNeue}" FontSize="50" Foreground="White" DockPanel.Dock="Left" TextAlignment="Left" /> I'm guessing I'd just have to copypaste the same thing, replacing "{Binding Path=ActiveGame.GenresString}" for something besides "Genre". Anyone knows the proper strings to call for Developer and for Publisher? Tried the obvious names, but not working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 @radicalblues I don't know if you've seen but there is a PDF file (Documentation.pdf) that is in the themes folder that will help with a few of the binding names. I'm not sure how up to date it is but it should be in there. Also the "SelectedGame" will be the same as the "ActiveGame" so you can use either just "AcitveGame" works better when scrolling through a list... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radicalblues Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Thanks for your previous help! I've been doing some tweaks and I almost have what I want. I'm running into a really weird problem. I'm using Unified + Unified Refried themes. So I've replaced the default stars pngs with some of my own creation. They're working nicely, but the weird thing is that ratings with .5 are not showing. I get 4 instead of 4.5, 3 instead of 3.5, etc. Also to be noted, I've replaced CommunityStarRating for StarRating on my screens, so I see my own user set scores on big box, instead of depending on community ratings (most games aren't even rated, so it's kinda boring) My 4.5 stars graphic is in the proper folder, too. It's just loading the 4 stars graphic instead, for some reason. Example: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. RetroLust Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I'd like to change the text color of a status, like "Good" would be green, "Imperfect" in orange and Preliminary" in red. Anyone know if this would be possible and how this can be done? Thanks for any reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klopjero Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 I have a question. is it possible to embed a view in another view ? or call the data that is handled by that view? I'd like to list most recent achievements in the game details box, j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
