@rockohoward - wow looks like great work on modernising this. Apologies I have been away from the scene for a while. As you are likely aware the original theme was written in Visual Studio before Theme Creator existed and a lot of the theme features such as wall view did not exist at the time and certainly not hybrid views.

Thanks! I'm doing the best I can with what minimal knowledge I have. Is there a way to change the alphabetical search key?

It is called Game Wheel Index in the editor - you should be able to change font/positioning/colour of it through that control - not sure if that is what you mean?

Hello Guys, i want to modify the theme. Can someone explain how to do it ? If it's possible i would like to help to grow. I really love this theme

I made some progress design wise and view wise. I ended up getting everything to work on a wall view for games but for Platform I ran into issues of selected plaform images not appearing.  I got that issue resolved by reviewing the Hybrid View Article. However, my biggest issue since I am trying to transform an old theme based on limited knowledge to a HybridView is that when a platform is selected, it does not transition into the game view. I attached the xaml in the case anyone can spot what I cannot, but this is basically the last piece holding me back.

@faeranAny advice on how to get the Hybrid View to transition into a wall view once a platform is selected?

I was able to get this working on a wall view by setting an Open Index key

Question. Do the banners you use in your mix the same pixel sizes as the original nesica2020? I put a lot of work into resizing so many steam banners to fit. Any way to change to background to look like Atrax? I like the darker grid thats sinking into the background. Also, and this is an aesthetic question...does big box have the ability to light up banners like atrax, when highlighting them? I appreciate your work on this a lot. Hope it comes up soon. Would really like to have the contained wall-view rather than horizontal wheel. 

Also, are you using the COMMUNITY theme creator to do this?
