LogicalEgo Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 New update, we forgot to add in an additional background video that was supposed to go into release and made changes to the Arcade device banner. New version should be up soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlsaunders1985 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Love this theme. Definitely the one I'll be using most from now on. Just one thing though - is there a way I can change the size of the genre/players/rating images on the bottom right of the coverflow view? Would like them to be just a bit bigger, if that's possible? I have no experience whatsoever with creating themes, but if there's something I can change in the XAML files to do this then I'd love to know. Thanks again for a great theme.

NJDave71 Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 During the last few rounds of LB Betas many of us were encountering lots of freeze ups between views or sluggish UI. It was identified that a plugin that was used to allow random background videos was one of the causes. Once, I have removed this plugin performance improved. I look forward to a fix so it can be implemented again. With that said, I have lots of videos in my collection and many of them were done in 16:9 and look fantastic. So I changed out the smaller video on 2 of the views to show Full screen. After making these changes and updating to the Latest release 7.15, Navigation and Functionality is much smoother. I hope you enjoy having the videos playback full screen as I do. Happy Gaming... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latin625 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 How do I set it up to look slick like yours? The settings in BigBox? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDave71 Posted January 2, 2018 Author Share Posted January 2, 2018 The Aeon Nox includes custom images used in the theme. The startup video can be found in my Description. A large Part of the build came from emumovies and letting Launchbox create the initial build. After everything was done, I used the Silver ring clearlogo set for my my wheel artwork. hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latin625 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Thanks! But, how do I get it to look like yours? Meaning, The layout and views of the games, the information... The way it looks on your screenshots. What settings do I use in BIGBOX OPTIONS to set up the displays? Horizontal wheel 2, Show Text with Details, etc?

shadowblind Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Wonderful theme. On 4k, though, the view where videos are displayed top-center makes them 4:3, I believe, instead of a widescreen resolution. Minor quibble since I use the background video view, but just thought I'd point it out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm running on a 4k display, btw, so results may vary. I'm just gonna say what I changed for this theme, lemme know if you need more info. First off I used these clear logos for the theme: I also enabled all the plugins in the plugins folder by Right Click > Properties > At the bottom I allowed it to run. Settings: Background Fade: 60% Images: all boxes checked except 5 and 6. Videos: All boxes checked except Use Platform background Videos That's it, really. Didn't change much. The most likely issue for it looking wonky is probably the plugins not running 8 hours ago, neil9000 said: That may be a video engine issue, have you tried the opposite of what you are currently using? Yeah, tried both. The videos are still squished Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDave71 Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 I have added screen shots the settings I am using. Outcomes may vary based on your display and media that has been downloaded from Launchbox and emumovies. You can replace media by downloading alternative from the forum.

Not at all, just on the view that places the video top-center. I'm currently using the background-video view which is my favorite. That view works fine.

NJDave71 Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 For the Arcade Games (DAPHNE and MAME)I use the Horizontal View 1 (Clear Logos) with the Video Full screen in the background everything else I use the Horizontal View 2 (Box Art) with the Video Full screen in the background On occasion, I will use the cover flow view. Glad all is working fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceLancer Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Hey there, i have not tried dabbling with theme files my self, so i gotta ask you, since i like your theme, although i would wish for "wheel" panel in games to be bit more compact, maybe moved to bottom and then on top add small panel with game name, developer and stuff that is now on bottom. So the result would be clean mid space for game video(with its theme) and your panel at bottom with extra stuff. Could it be done ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDave71 Posted January 29, 2018 Author Share Posted January 29, 2018 Thank you and I will take that into consideration down the road. there will be new release which addresses addresses Region and PlayMode. I have also made some slight modifications to the Animation and coverflow view Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
