CriticalCid Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Odd, that's how it looks for me and as you can see on my desktop is my system clock definitely in 24h format.: Sorry for derailing your thread Grila. Your theme is looking awesome as always! I doubt that you are even capable of creating bad themes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 That goes for you too @CriticalCid. You guys are both royalty. Just thought of something; it actually might be dependent on the language you use in LaunchBox/Big Box. I hadn't thought of that. So, hmm. Not sure if there's any good way to force it, though...but that would mean that it is indeed ignoring your system settings and just using whatever the defaults are for the active language in LaunchBox. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I'm changing to get it to work is in Windows. Control Panel --> Region --> Short Time and Long Time settings via the drop down.

ALIE Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Looks awesome with the Clock such a small nice detail. Little of topic but @Jason Carrcould be cool if like on Current consoles you could hit example the guide button minimizeing the game and getting back into Big Box. Could something like that ever be done? Not sure if any ticket similar exist. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vsilvalopes Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Serioulsy @Jason Carr, Hire @Grila ! No Joke! Just when I've finished setting up my BigBox with Modern Mini, you came with this! Congratulations, amazing work as usual! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Seriously, I so wish I could hire @CriticalCid and @Grila both to work on themes full time; that would be amazing. I gotta stop hiring people though or we're gonna hire the entire community and there'll be no users left lol. We're up to six of us now. But if ever we get to a financial state where we can support it, that's not a bad idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe I can come back to that here at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the kind words @vsilvalopes and @Jason Carr, but I'm perfectly fine contributing my work to this amazing project for free. The job I have now pays good and let's me do whatever i please as long as things are running smoothly for them. That's how I have so much time to work on stuff for LaunchBox. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a great situation, and your work is so much appreciated. Not to mention you're one of those people who's super talented and yet humble, and constantly helping other people...it shows.

Yes, it seems to be related to the language settings. I switched my LaunchBox to German and got the 24h format, after changing the language back to English it also changed the time format back to 12h. An option in BigBox to change the time format would probably be the user friendliest solution. Also thanks for the kind works. I appreciate it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 That makes sense @CriticalCid, we'll add that to the list. I really need to get back to your list of wants/needs for custom themes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spektor56 Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 (edited) I just whipped up a weather control really quickly to show what you can do with custom user controls in bigbox (of course you can add animations and make it look nicer than it is). It's in the top right corner and alternates between the current conditions and current temperature: Edited April 8, 2017 by spektor56 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grila Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 Awesome spektor. Could you upload it here so I can check it out? This will open up a ton of possibilities for my themes.Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spektor56 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) Here's a sample of the comix theme using the control in the WheelGamesView: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B6VxVfJp98SlZTRqa2w5eE5sZVE Here's the source code for the weather control in c# (not a completely finished control, just sample): https://github.com/spektor56/BigBoxControlLibrary Edited April 9, 2017 by spektor56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro808 Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 (edited) @Grila The controller icon, can that be set differently for each platform? I have been wanting a way to show the user on a certain platform if they would use the arcade controller or a specific game controller. Your ComixBox theme has been my favorite so far, but if the above is correct this may take its place. As others have mentioned countless times thanks for all the amazing contributions. Launchbox just keeps getting better. Edited April 9, 2017 by Retro808 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing your example has cleared it all up for me. I appreciate it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grila Posted April 10, 2017 Author Share Posted April 10, 2017 A little progress on the dark version today. I also completed the mock-up for the text based views in Photoshop so tomorrow I hope to get those added into the mix. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
