zorkiii Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I've only used a few themes with BigBox, and have been using CritcalZone mostly since the game view has the game video in a windowed screen. I am not a fan of the full screen background video themes where the video is transparent, I prefer being able to see the gameplay video footage. My question is, can I configure the size of the video that plays in a theme? Here's a screenshot of the current view I have at the moment, the bottom most image of the Tetris screen is actually the game video that plays. I'm looking to configure a theme to display a larger video size, possibly double that size. Is there a theme that already does this, or can I configure one to do this for all game videos in Big Box?

SentaiBrad Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 One of the views on CriticalZone, or City Hunter the alternate, I want to say is pretty much a fullscreen video, with some info in the corner. As far as keeping all the same info with a much bigger video, some of the other views have bigger video, but I don't know if it's exactly what you're looking for.

zorkiii Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Thanks @SentaiBrad, I checked through the CityHunter themes and didn't find one with a larger video. I'm wondering if anyone knows of a theme that has the text list with details configured with a video in a larger window on the right? One thing to note is I am not a fan of the game titles in a wheel style with the logos as the game name, I think it takes up too much space and sacrifices speed when navigating. Just a personal preference I guess, I like just having a text list on the left and would like to have the game video preview in a larger window on the right, and just some of the game stats. Also, where do the platform theme videos get saved to (path on hard drive)? I couldn't seem to find where those go when they're downloaded in Launchbox using the built in Tools > Download Platform/Playlist Theme Videos option.

SentaiBrad Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 They should be in \..\LaunchBox\Videos\Platforms\. As for that specific style of set up, I don't know what to tell you. Unless someone knows of something close enough, someone might have to make it. Check out our Theme section and try and find a theme that you think looks good.

I appreciate it. I ought to look into creating / configuring my own game view I guess, as it seems I'm in the minority of wanting a text list with a larger video preview.
