Sounds good but just because I like this challenge I will try to move those frames around like so. I just need to turn the blue game list column into a row. Who knows, maybe you will make it work before me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddoc1007 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 @MerlinArcade Try these two views but you'll have to try them on a vertical monitor they look like your pic PlatformWheel1FiltersView.xaml WheelGamesView.xaml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddoc1007 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 @MerlinArcade If there what your after i will do the rest of the default theme for you tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerlinArcade Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 Just now, Maddoc1007 said: @MerlinArcade If there what your after i will do the rest of the default theme for you tomorrow They look good but the info it tilted 90 degrees too. I thought the frames would turn but the info would stay horizontal. Oh well, this xaml is wayyy much more complex then the good old HTML I know. hehe. Give me 2 minutes and I will post a screenshot of what I want... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddoc1007 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 @MerlinArcade i can tackle that tomorrow do a list of what you want tilted the right way for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerlinArcade Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) And...here....we...go... In HTML, it would be a frameset of 3 rows with 2 columns in each row but the 3rd row would have a colspan=2.

Maddoc1007 Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 @MerlinArcade do you want the background art and video tilted otherwise it will be the same as the default vertical theme with them out of proportion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle mostly with the displaying of the rows and columns. The rest is just gravy. Edited January 25, 2017 by MerlinArcade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddoc1007 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 @MerlinArcade Here is the Default Vertical with the 2 Views they are Platform Wheel 1 for platforms see screenshotAnd Horizontal wheel 1 see screenshotUnzip zip and OVERWRITE THE DEFAULT VERTICAL THEME IN THE THEME FOLDER you need to do this as in the theme there is a themesettings.xml that activates the Horizontal Wheel 1 View hope that is what you were looking for, remember this is just for vertical monitors.

MerlinArcade Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 My friend you are the best... In the default theme, if I select a new game in the wheel, for some games, I can see a specific background for that game and sometimes it's just the clear logo enlarged. What I decide to drop the big Merlin in space background and go with the default background change per game, what will I have to do? Just leave it blank? Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddoc1007 Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) @MerlinArcade In order for fanart to show for games you must have fanart in the Images and their respective platform named folders ie:boxfront box back etc folder for each game, and for platforms in the images/platforms folder then inside each platform their fanart folder for platforms if the clear logo is showing you have it set in the priorities inside LaunchBox/Options/Tools see screenshot also you can set the image type in the toolbar on the right top in LaunchBox or under options in BigBox Edited January 26, 2017 by Maddoc1007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerlinArcade Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) How come I still see the box covers instead of the clear logos in the wheel. What did you do to have the clear logos in the wheel? So is it in the Tools>>Options too? See the horizontal wheel below?

MerlinArcade Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Hi Maddoc, Sorry. been busy these past few days. Time to get back on our little project. I downloaded your files and named it Default Vertical but I still have 2 little bugs. 1- As I posted in my last post, I still see box covers in the wheel below and not the clear logos. This is the screenshot of my BB options >> views section just in case the bug would come from there.. 2- Next, regarding having my Merlin background in BB I went to that section you talked about here Tools>>Options>>Images... And that's what I got...However, my background does appear in the back but in Launchbox and not in the background of BigBox. Rights now I still see the clear logo of Dig Dug as the game background and not my Merlin BK. Hope you follow me here.. So where can I go in BB to do what I just did for LB and make my Merlin logo in the background of BB too for BOTH the platforms and games list? Thanks again, Merlin Edited January 29, 2017 by MerlinArcade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MerlinArcade Posted January 29, 2017 Author Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Ok nevermind the clear logo question above, I found the bug. It looks like that if you go with "All Game" instead of "All Platforms", BB decides to load box covers in the horizontal wheel as you can see above. However, if you go with "All Platforms" then suddenly when you enter the Arcade platform, BB shows clear logos instead of box covers in the horizontal wheel. So 1 bug solved, 1 more left. Gotta learn how to put my Merlin background in the back of these games instead of letting BB show clear logos in the background of each game too like we see here. If anybody knows what to do please let me know. Merlin Edited January 29, 2017 by MerlinArcade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
