Well, you know that real-life thing kicked in...not sure if you are aware that making themes for other people isn't my day job. It'll get done eventually when I have the time to start working on it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grila Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Added the community star ratings and a little more progress. I'm slowly getting my time back to work on this so be patient with me Video Screenies 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LogicalEgo Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Love the granite background, color combo looks nice and clean. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 2nd that, can't wait for this.... Not sold on the pink to blue yet but I'm only looking at it on a phone so will probably look better on a tablet or gpd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grila Posted January 9, 2018 Author Share Posted January 9, 2018 (edited) @Rincewind had me thinking about the color scheme with his prior comment, so I spent some time today writing a program that allows you to pick from 10 different color combos for the theme. I may add more if there is interest. The usage is simple...run the GPDWin Styler app supplied with the theme and apply the theme of your choice. Soon I'll add the ability to set the text colors from this app, but that's for another day. It's a visually simple app...but it gets the job done. Here's a screenie of the program...

Rincewind Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Thank you @Grila that's a brilliant feature. Now I've seen them I think the pink and blue is best.... Only joking seriously tho this feature could change the way themes are put out there now. Users being able to customise a theme themselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grila Posted January 10, 2018 Author Share Posted January 10, 2018 For the Text Games View, since the game title is already displayed in the list I am leaning toward ditching it (like in the bottom screenshot). BUT, on that small screen it may be nice to have it in the bigger, more legible font also. Any thoughts on this? Here's two captures showing 2 different ways I have experimented with so far (unfortunately we can only have 1 text view ): And remember, all the meta and other images are NOT included for a reason...this is a super light-weight theme that only needs clear logo's and screenshots so please don't request other metadata to be added.

y2guru Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I would like to see both the stars and larger game title in the game details pane, but if I were to choose.... i'd go with the 1st capture. btw, did you get a GPD Win to test this on ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Top screen grab for me is by far the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil9000 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Yeah i prefer the first image with the larger game name text personally. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is a great suggestion. Since everyone agrees on keeping the large game title, I'll move the star rating to the right, under the title. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2guru Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Thanks Grila! shame I don't have my GPD Win anymore (the GPD Win 2 is on the horizon though, same resolution, bigger screen, better CPU etc...) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grila Posted January 11, 2018 Author Share Posted January 11, 2018 Almost done with the ability to edit all theme colors with the editor. The text boxes reflect their changes in real time on the preview so you can really see what's changing and how it looks before saving. Here's a shot of it... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rincewind Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Very excited about this one, it's a massive move forwards for Launchbox in my eyes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grila Posted January 16, 2018 Author Share Posted January 16, 2018 OK, got the customizer app re-designed. It contains 18 base color schemes that can be applied or you can customize all the colors according to your own preferences. Theme is almost finished, just have the system views to finish up. Here's a look at the new customizer: Main View Apply Base Theme Customize Theme 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
