Unfortunately i dont have the tools to move actual posts, just delete, hide or edit them. Your best bet would be to copy paste the parts you want moved and paste them into the other thread.

Okay!

It's all good. I linked things over to the new thread and use this one as a reference to go back to the other

Please add more customization to the left sidebar. i cant stress that enough. being able to drag it further to the left and customizing the spacing in there would be really great. that is the single feature that has been keeping me using the old version. I just downloaded the newest build today and i think i will start to use that only because the controller support lets me close the window when i want to. But yeah. that feature would bring this whole thing together for me. thanks.

Launchbox next is themeable, you can adjust everything in it to your liking if you have the knowhow.

The left sidebar has always been re sizable, just drag it to the width you want. As for theming got to the Launchbox/LBTheme folder, copy and paste the default theme and edit it its split up into the specific sections of the UI, thats as far as my knowledge on it goes though.

[RegularRegs]

actually you know what. i just changed the windows 10 settings from 150% to 125% and its perfect now. that should be fine.

[RegularRegs]

well i wanted to drag it further to the left than it lets you. thats what i meant. also spacing it so that the text is closer together would be nice.

[Lordmonkus]

You may want to take a look at the theme I made then. It doesn't let you drag the width any smaller but I am looking into that right now to see if I can find it.

 

[neil9000]

I believe there is a technical reason why there is a limit on how narrow the sidebar can go, as for spacing that can be edited like i said. Try this theme if you want, it has smaller spacing.

 

[RegularRegs]

ok thanks

You ave to be on the latest beta if you aren't.

[RULLUR]

So have we got to the point of customization that I can now put "Select Random Game" as a button on the left panel? I took a look at things last night and most I seen was the ability to change fonts, change colors, and other sizing, but nothing much I noticed on placing buttons elsewhere. I know Jason was saying it can now be made to look nothing at all like LaunchBox now, but I always kinda thought BigBox was more where it comes to custom themes and all.

I guess my main thing for now is just how can I make the "Select Random Game" button be something I can click on the left panel?

[RegularRegs]

oh that would be great. the random game button. That and an option for making the videos fullscreen.

[RegularRegs]

and no i only got the latest official. ill download the beta

Also remember you can also make the font size in the sidebar smaller if you want in Tools/Options/Fonts

[RegularRegs]

yeah but in the release it wouldnt change the spacing. i had a tiny font but still wasnt showing everything.
