Platform ogo in Games view

Is there a reason why there is no theme with a platform logo and the game clear logo wheel at the sametime like for example the SNES logo on the left and all the clear game logo on the right

I don't believe that 2 wheels on the same screen is currently supported, but i know nothing about the themeing engine. Maybe @CriticalCid could offer some insight there.

The platform and game wheels are only support in either the Platform or Game Views, there's no way to mix them. It may could be possible with a plug-in but as I'm no developer I can't say anything about that but I doubt that it would be an easy thing to do.

hm maybe i ex plained wrong ill draw some thing quick

When I understood you correctly you want a theme/view that uses a Games Wheel and shows the platform logo? Something like this?

or this?

Ah, my misunderstanding, sorry.

more the seconnd one im trying to modify StationEmulation by viking to have the selected platform logo at the sametime but it fails

The second one is RetroFresh:

[kuipou]

ok but how did you make the platform logo being able to be shown at the sametime as the game wheel?

The theme creator has to add it to theme/view. It's not something you can simply activate in the options and certainly not something you can easily add to a theme yourself without very basic understanding of how XAML works.

[kuipou]

can you show me how

[CriticalCid]

It highly depends on the theme and how it’s structured.

Here's the general code to make it show in a Games VIew. You have to edit the values and adapt them to the View.

<Image x:Name="PlatformLogo" Source="{Binding Path=ActiveGame.PlatformClearLogoImagePath}" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="1" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="1" HorizontalAlignment="Right" VerticalAlignment="Top" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" Panel.ZIndex="99"  />

Unfortuantely it won't be enough to just add and edit this line of code in most cases and you will need to restructure a chunk of the View itself.

I highly recommend to watch Jason’s XAML tutorials first to learn the theming basics before you bother to tinker with it

Alternatively you could jusk ask the theme creator if he wants to add it for you before diving into theme editing yourself.
