Displays funny though, ignoring the video and marquee not fitting, it now squashes the background. Joys of CRT and low resolution 1 Quote

Grila Posted January 11, 2018 Posted January 11, 2018 @pezley Unfortunately I'm out of the office until Monday, but I'll adjust the theme for you then so it displays correctly. @neil9000 I already have the assets, that's all I need. 1 Quote

Trueno07 Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 This is so cool. I was just asking for a 4:3 theme for a CRT TV I'm using. Time to but Big Box... Quote
Skirmy Posted January 12, 2018 Posted January 12, 2018 Man if you could do a 16:9 / 1080p version of this that would work with the EmuMovies videos etc that would be awsome!!! (This is what it looks like on my widescreen LCD) Great job!!!! Quote
pezley Posted January 12, 2018 Author Posted January 12, 2018 (edited) Got it working So my problem was that my CRT in the arcade is a half vertical res montior, the actual resolution is 560x240 and when using that native resolution it causes weird things. I have now set it with a proper 4:3 resolution and it's fine. Added some videos and marquees and it's chugging away perfectly. When I have finished adding all the videos and marquees ill take some nice videos of it in use. @Grila is there any chance you can make it set to a weird resolution of 560x240 so I can try and get the most out of the monitor, it should still stretch out OK to a 4:3 ratio . Or atleast nudge me to where in the xaml. I can use it as is perfectly fine but I'm losing a portion of my vertical resolution. If enough people want to use this in 4:3 for arcade & 16:9 for modern screens, it might be worth locking this thread and starting a new one to show off the theme rather than looking like a thread for help which people might skip over Here's a quick screen record though. Really happy and Grila has done awesome work. https://youtu.be/OncU_W1_J_g LaunchBox_Big_Box_12_01_2018_08_26_14.mp4 Edited January 12, 2018 by pezley Quote
Kondorito Posted January 15, 2018 Posted January 15, 2018 @pezley, awesome idea; really digging the theme Do you mind sharing the source image/render of the arcade machine you used? (Unless it was made by you; in which case, great work with it!). Thanks! Quote

The arcade was a generic one I found on google but changed it a lot to suit the right shape marquee and screen, along with putting in extra work for the CRT scanlines etc. Quote

I might have the original file at home so I'll do a reverse image search when I get a chance. 1 Quote
NJDave71 Posted February 9, 2018 Posted February 9, 2018 Did you ever get a working version of this? I pulled down one from an early thread and didn't scale correctly in 1920X1080? This would be great an arcade theme. Quote
DreadPoet Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) I have no ability to design. I have been dying for something like this. However, as mentioned by others, I would need it to work on contemporary screens. I love the design though. Good job. Edited January 18, 2019 by DreadPoet Quote
Nyny77 Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 Great theme not enough theme in 4.3, unfortunately Quote
Klopjero Posted January 24, 2019 Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) okay bizarre. noob question. or remark I browse through this thread and to my shock I actually see screenshots of Visual studio showing the theme that is being worked on. Currently I'm mucking about with a theme and I find myself constantly firing up BB to see how it looks. in fact I had to comment out a wheel.factory something or other( it was throwing an error on that line) for the preview to just show me the grid coloms/rows. Am I doing something wrong ? is there a written out Tutorial on how to set stuff up ? What am I doing wrong ? *edit* okay nevermind on closer examination @Grila was working in photoshop.. *dunce* Edited January 24, 2019 by Klopjero Quote
