Phill's Doodles - Retrorama

[Macattack222]

Super happy you ported this! I kind of swore off pi's just because of all the little issues that kind of add up to to be more trouble than its worth. Mini Pc's with BigBox from now on. Friends who know nothing about emulation, front ends or anything always love this theme the most too.

@wallmachine, you mean these?

i think that they're too simple to use as a bezel. But i made they in vector format, it can be scaled. Feel free to use it.

Playlists are awesome!

Finished Music and Options. Now i'm adding more systems to upload a new version.

Is there suppose to be a font included? Fonts are system default.

Yup, i need to include it on the theme download file. But you can download it here:

New update. I've also include the comic book font on the theme file.

Hahaha, crap! i've upload the file again. forgot to add the font on the font folder.

You can also add the font as a plugin to your theme so that the users don’t have to install it on their system first.

I’m not entirely sure how you do that as I never needed it but I’m sure that either @Grila or @eatkinola can help you with that

[PhillsDoodles]

That would be awesome!

[Kevin_Flynn]

Works like a charm! Thanks for v1.2! May I suggest you use that other scroll type for the platform list. The one where it updates every click? It feels unresponsive as the only items that don't change are the name of the platform and # of available games.

 

Anyone have a suggestion for the SoundPack?

Thanks @Kevin_Flynn. What scroll you're referring? i'm pretty noob on LB and still learning what things i can make to make the theme looks better.

[Kevin_Flynn]

I found something in the documentation. Essentially replace "Active" with "Selected". I suggest only on the platform view.

Data Binding Properties for Root Filters/Platforms Views 
SelectedPlatform vs. ActivePlatform Please note that with the below properties, anywhere SelectedPlatform is used, ActivePlatform can be used instead. ActivePlatform will wait for the selection to be completely updated before updating, while SelectedPlatform will update immediately upon selecting a new platform

Did it lines 40 and 46 in PlatformWheel1FiltersView.xaml

Much snappier. Great skin!

Yeah, i've changed from Selected to Active because Selected can drag the performance when you're switching between platforms. For me it didn't affect at all, but i don't have many systems on my launchbox.

Congratulations Phills! This is the best Theme for BB I've seen in a while! keep up the good work

@eatkinola outlined the steps a while back in the XAML Tips thread. Here's the post...

This is amazing. Can I ask how we get the "sidebars" when you're playing a game?
