Jason Carr Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Thanks @niglurion. I'm hoping we can get that issue figured out after we fix the VLC stability issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imdavid555 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 11 hours ago, CriticalCid said: Yeah it’s a bug which occurs when you are using alignment properties for the videos in your theme. I have the same issue with VLC in my own theme as well. I’ve posted this already in the Beta thread so I’m hoping that @Jason Carr has this still on his plate. So unfortunately you have to use WMP for this theme until the VLC bug is fixed. Thanks Cid. good to know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8Phantasm Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Excellent work, niglurion. I think this is the best theme that I've seen so far. You don't happen to have one for Famicom Disk System, do ya? Or if you can send me a background .psd I can slap the hardware image on it in Photoshop. I was just going to use the Famicom background and slap the Disk System hardware on top but the controller is in a position that would need moved to the left.

8Phantasm Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) As far as that VLC bug you guys are talking about... I'm not noticing anything wrong in mine? The videos seem to be playing properly with VLC for me and using CleanBG 1.1.1. I'm not on beta, though... maybe that's why. I'm using 6.8 Edited August 29, 2016 by 8Phantasm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niglurion Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Same here, I.ve no problem with videos, so it's hard to help you @8Phantasm, you can read this post, it might help you But, yes I plan to add it when I'll come back from holidays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subatomic09 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Great theme. I was hoping the platform images were separate from the backgrounds, like transparent png's, so I could use the platform intros as the background. Is that possible?

Am on version 6.9 beta-5 of BigBox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 David, I am aware of that issue and it is on our plate to resolve. It is not an issue that is specific to this theme. My suggestion would be to use WMP until we can get it resolved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8Phantasm Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 @imdavid555 Where do I get those platform intros or whatever it is you are using when selecting platform? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can easily make the transparent png's, but I have no idea what to modify in the theme's Views folder to make the image display over the background intro videos... I must do more research at a later date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I want to add a subtle drop shadow and vignette over background video to help it stand out a bit. Something kind of like the attached, with the background video darkened about 60%.

imdavid555 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I see. I know the MinimalHD theme by Grila has a scanlines filter on his background videos for his theme. Maybe you can do something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping the platform images were separate from the backgrounds, like transparent png's, so I could use the platform intros as the background. Is that possible? I've already answered to that a couple of posts earlier. And I don't think I'll modify this theme anymore (just add some backgrounds). But you're free to use it, modify it and share it with another name if you want. Per example, you can use the theme version without plateforms (CleanBGnosystem) and change the .xaml according to your desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutColed Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Holy wow is this theme incredible! Is there any chance of the kind of obscure (but still cool) Sega SG-1000 getting a custom background? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
