DOS76 Posted September 16, 2017 Share Posted September 16, 2017 I just looked through the download section and didn't see the Minimal theme available for download maybe @Grila would be able to direct you to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trellos Posted September 16, 2017 Author Share Posted September 16, 2017 I searched before posting ,can i change font size in the default theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grila Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I haven't been able to find my original 4:3 version, all I can find is the 16:9 files. I can re-create the theme for you when I'm back at work tomorrow. It's a very simple design so it shouldn't take me long to finish it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trellos Posted September 17, 2017 Author Share Posted September 17, 2017 Thank you very much,this would be great!!! A theme for arcade cabinets with original feel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grila Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Making some progress...here's the platform view. My monitor only goes down to 800x600 but the theme should scale nicely to any 4:3 resolution. I assume this will work on a CRT but I don't have a way to test it. It may need some tweaking since CRT's don't have a set height pixel dimension (if I remember correctly). I'm also not too solid on the grey color so don't be alarmed, I can change it easily. It was just an easy neutral tone to get going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grila Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 After a little more editing to make the wheel look like the original theme, I kinda am liking the grey now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trellos Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 It looks great!!! When its ready let me know to test it on my cabinet and give you feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grila Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Some more progress...I ditched the images and made the UI elements in XAML so they can scale to any resolution without losing quality like an image does. I also tweaked the wheel animation a bit. You probably won't be able to read the game details screen on an CRT, but I themed it anyways for people who want to use this on a LCD cabinet. I still have some work to do on miscellaneous parts, but it should be done by the end of next week. @trellos can you download this beta file and test it out on your CRT? I'm would like to make sure everything is looking good before I finish up. After unzipping it in your theme directory, you'll have to unblock the .dll file in the "plugins" folder. Don't worry, it only contains the font This theme is for 4:3 aspect ONLY folks, it will not look right on anything else. Please...there's no need to tell me it doesn't look right if you aren't on 4:3. MinimalCRTBeta.zip Here's the latest screen grabs: 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordmonkus Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 @Grila thanks for taking the time to do this, 4:3 CRT theme support was something that was badly needed for Launchbox. One day I am going to rig up a PC to my CRT TV and see how it all works 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grila Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Here's a new preview vid. I need to tweak the wheel fade a bit more because the "pointer" is fading before the other elements by a hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trellos Posted September 22, 2017 Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 Ok I tested it without without unblocking font. theme looks very good ,font size is perfect for my screen but I can't enable a small window I had before with a video of the game.
