viking Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 @AeronNL : Thx !!! OK for the request. I will look at the source code and see if I can adapt it to this theme. The cut platform name, it must come from the fact that you are in 4x3. The remaining space being shorter. To change it, it's easy: in <//LaunchBox / Themes / StationEmulation / Views /> , open : "TextGamesView.xaml". Find these lines: <!--PLATFORM TEXT NAME - TOP LEFT--> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=SelectedGame.Platform}" Panel.ZIndex="101" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="11" Grid.RowSpan="3" Foreground="#7c7e80" FontFamily="Segoe UI Light" FontSize="60" TextTrimming="WordEllipsis" Typography.Capitals="AllSmallCaps" TextWrapping="Wrap" VerticalAlignment="Center" TextAlignment="Left" LineStackingStrategy="BlockLineHeight" LineHeight="62"/> And change this value : Grid.ColumnSpan="11" into this value : Grid.ColumnSpan="18" The higher the value, the more space there is for the title. 19 is the maximum not to cover the ClearLogo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnugamer Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Thanks so much for the update, this theme is perfect for my setup. The last thing I was wondering is if it would be possible to display the number of games below the platform logos along with the year, similar to how emulationstation displays "100 Available Games" under the system name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks a lot Viking! ik really appreciate it, will have a look at it tonight. How about the size for the game description text? which line should I edit for that? would be great if you are able to implement the fading of the menu bar. Nevertheless this is my favorite theme already! Edited March 24, 2017 by AeronNL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AeronNL Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 Any chance you can help me out with the size for the game description text? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legsrwheelz Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 (edited) Excellent work brother! One question though... Is there any way to use each game video as fullscreen background AND it be blurred like the background wallpaper? I'm talking for system and games. I tried this with hyperspin and eventually gave up Edited May 29, 2017 by Legsrwheelz Adding clarity to my question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious to know if this can be added too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moppedz Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) Hi, i really like that theme, but i have the problem, that games and playlists without a clearlogo show white text on white ground (the white horizontal bar) - i can barely read anything at daylight when this happens. Is there a way to fix this, like changing the text colour, or adding an black border/shadows around the text?

viking Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share Posted June 7, 2017 @johnugamer @alexis524 : I have not time to do this now. But it's don't seems difficult to do. =) @moppedz : Unfortunately, I dont think that is possible. In any case, I did not find where to change that value. The easiest way is to create or use a ClearLogo for these playlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do this in options - keyboard mappings, or options - controller, as shown below and I've used the 'tab' key to accomplish this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on which images you want, but make sure you have your corresponding images in the right folders. For example, screenshots would be in "launchbox\Images\Atari 2600\Screenshot - Gameplay" and boxart would be in "launchbox\Images\Atari 2600\Box - Front" for Atari 2600. To switch the type of images being shown (on the fly), you'll have to assign a keyboard or controller mapping, just as you did with the view. Again, you'll see this in the options screen, under "Keyboard Mappings" and "Controller" as shown below Edited June 8, 2019 by bundangdon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
