Can I just rename a view?

Hi All,

I do not know anything about xaml or how these themes are built.

I am curious, can i just rename the file for the specific view?

I am asking because i have an NES classic playlist and i am using the classic mini theme for it. I use the city hunter theme for my main theme. In city hunter i use vertical wheel 1 and the classic mini theme i use is vertical wheel 2 - big box defaults to the same view of your main theme, even when you switch to a new theme for a platform/playlist.

If i could simple rename the classic mini view i am using to the same view i use in city hunter then everything would flow nicely.

any help is appreciated - thank you!

I believe the view names are hardcoded into Launchbox itself so you wouldn't be able to rename them as it would need actual coding from Jason in the Program. It may be worth posting this in the beta thread as the issue you have with the views may just be a oversight, or it may be by design and for a good reason, I honestly don't no on that one.

I wouldn't rename to something nonstandard - i would basically swap the name vertical list view 2 for vertical list view 1. I asked in beta and it seems jason specifically didnt have bigbox remember the view for the secondary theme when it switches - which is why i am hoping i can rename the view to make it work.

Ah I see, well you could just make a copy of the theme and make the edits you want and try it out as long as you copy your backup to somewhere other than the theme folder so you don't lose it.
