Maddoc1007 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 Default Vertical View File Hi as promised here is the Default BigBox Vertical theme specifically for Vertical Screens, Arcade Machines etc. Unzip and place unzipped file in your LaunchBox theme Folder. You should now be able to scroll and see your menu items in the BigBox and Options Screens. All Background Images and Background Videos will fill the entire screen so it is advisable to have Vertical Videos for your Platforms and Games, if not please be advised that normal Platform Videos and Game videos will fill the entire screen if you set show Platform or Game Videos in settings. This is a work in progress as Jason said that when he has time in the new-year he will sort out the fonts sizing that is needed in certain aspects of the menu and options screen which currently cannot be done in xaml, but i have used a alternate method for the time being in order that you will be able to see what you are navigating in these menu's. Platform and Game Views are reworked to take advantage of Vertical monitors. For people having trouble on some views please be advised that the New Views recently added are not skinned for Vertical Orientation yet. Below is a list of working Vertical Views Working Views Platforms Platform Text List with Details Platform wheel 1, 2, 3, 4 Working views Games: Coverflow Coverflow with Details Text List with Details Vertical Wheel 1 Horizontal boxes with Details Also note that as this is the default theme reworked by me it is still solely the property of @Jason Carr and UnbrokenSoftware. Thanks to @Jason Carr for allowing me to manipulate this theme for Vertical Machines. So Happy Christmas to All and a Very Merry NewYear.

Maddoc1007 Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 @BakerMan Do you mean the actual game Playing on a vertical monitor or a Screenshot of the Genesis or NES Platform? The monitor resolution for the screenshots is 900x1440 but it should work on any vertical resolution i tested it on a 1024x1280 as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddoc1007 Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 @BakerMan Here are screenshots of games on a Vertical monitor,of NES through Retro-arch as you can see it stretches to the full screen and a Screenshot of Genesis Game 3 Ninjas Kick Back using Fusion 3.64 as you can see it doesn't extend to the full screen width because of emulator's resolutions. Any emulator ie: mame,retroarch etc can stretch games to any screen resolution some emulator cant and have set resolutions like 640x480 and will have bars above and below game.

Maddoc1007 Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 @BakerMan Very Very Nice but bezels don't work with some emulators would have to be used through RocketLauncher or @Jason Carr would have to do Bezel support (as am not up on bezels etc as i don't use them) the best man for this would be @lordmonkus i think as he knows a hell of a lot more than me on these subjects LOL.

MerlinArcade Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) On Thursday, December 22, 2016 at 10:36 AM, BakerMan said: This isn't the greatest example in the world, but a quick mock-up of what bezels would look like with this view... Not the best example I agree because maybe the startup screen fit the vertical screen but when the game load, we can clearly see that this game was meant to play in a landscape monitor (larger than high). Maybe you can try with Pac-Man or 1942 and post back what it looks like. Thanks. Merlin Edited January 12, 2017 by MerlinArcade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wouldja Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Any way we could tile the background graphics or center to keep the aspect ratio's correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddoc1007 Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 Not at the moment as we would end up with a large black area above and below the background video's and artwork's, as this is a vertical theme for vertical monitors it is up to the user to source Vertical Videos and Artwork themselves at the moment, however i will be revisiting the theme in a few weeks and will try and see if i can do a workaround to sort this out, i may well at that time decide to create a completely new Vertical theme that will allow the user to use normal artwork and video instead i haven't decided yet as i am currently working on 2 new themes at the moment.

aetpilot Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 New to this. In Big Box under views Theme is Default Vertical and Game list view: is Vertical Wheel 1. When I open the BigBox Theme.sln in Visual Studio and go to Views I do not see a view called Vertical Wheel 1 to modify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glabrecque Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Is there a way to have gameplay video play on the game select screen instead or as well as the play screen? Right now all I have is a blank screen above the game selection wheel? Do I just need to put the videos in the right folder? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
