Ok, last thing for now, anyway to completely remove the date, time, weather, in the top right of every screen? I just want a clean look. Sorry if this has been asked already. You'll need to remove the following lines from every View <!-- UPPER GLASSBAR Y-AXIS MOVEMENT --> <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TransformGroup.Children)[3].(TranslateTransform.Y)" Storyboard.TargetName="UpperGlassBar"> <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.0" Value="-200"/> <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:1.5" Value="-200"/> <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:2.0" Value="0"/> </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames> <!-- UPPER GLASSBAR TRIANGLE Y-AXIS MOVEMENT --> <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TransformGroup.Children)[3].(TranslateTransform.Y)" Storyboard.TargetName="TriangleGlassBar"> <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.0" Value="-200"/> <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:1.5" Value="-200"/> <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:2.0" Value="0"/> </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames> <!-- CLOCK Y-AXIS MOVEMENT --> <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.RenderTransform).(TransformGroup.Children)[3].(TranslateTransform.Y)" Storyboard.TargetName="DateTimeWeather"> <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.0" Value="-200"/> <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:1.5" Value="-200"/> <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:2.0" Value="0"/> </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames> <!-- UPPER GLASSBAR --> <Grid Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="4" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Panel.ZIndex="15" > <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="45*" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="424*" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="15*" /> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <Grid.RowDefinitions> <RowDefinition Height="55*" /> <RowDefinition Height="260*" /> </Grid.RowDefinitions> <Viewbox Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="0" Stretch="UniformToFill" > <Polygon x:Name="TriangleGlassBar" Points="0,0 45,55 45,0" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="0" Fill="Black" Opacity="0.5" > <Polygon.RenderTransform> <TransformGroup> <ScaleTransform/> <SkewTransform/> <RotateTransform/> <TranslateTransform/> </TransformGroup> </Polygon.RenderTransform> </Polygon> </Viewbox> <Border x:Name="UpperGlassBar" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Background="Black" Opacity="0.5" SnapsToDevicePixels="True" RenderOptions.EdgeMode="Aliased" > <Border.RenderTransform> <TransformGroup> <ScaleTransform/> <SkewTransform/> <RotateTransform/> <TranslateTransform/> </TransformGroup> </Border.RenderTransform> </Border> <!-- DATE, TIME AND WEATHER --> <Viewbox x:Name="DateTimeWeather" Grid.Row="0" Grid.Column="1" > <DockPanel Height="45" Width="449" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" > <TextBlock Text="{Binding CurrentTime}" FontFamily="{StaticResource FontBebasNeue}" FontWeight="Bold" VerticalAlignment="Center" DockPanel.Dock="Right" FontSize="35" Foreground="Crimson" /> <TextBlock Text=" " FontFamily="{StaticResource FontBebasNeue}" FontSize="35" VerticalAlignment="Center" DockPanel.Dock="Right" /> <TextBlock Name="tbArrivalDateTime" Text="{Binding Source={x:Static sys:DateTime.Today}, StringFormat='{}{0:MMMM dd, yyyy}'}" FontFamily="{StaticResource FontBebasNeue}" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Right" DockPanel.Dock="Right" FontSize="35" Foreground="Gold" /> <TextBlock Text=" " FontFamily="{StaticResource FontBebasNeue}" FontSize="35" VerticalAlignment="Center" DockPanel.Dock="Right" /> <g:GrilaWeather ShowUnits="True" ShowLocation="False" ShowTemp="True" ShowConditions="True" ItemSpacing="10" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" HorizontalAlignment="Right" Foreground="GhostWhite" FontFamily="{StaticResource FontBebasNeue}" MaxHeight="45" DockPanel.Dock="Right" Margin="0,0,0,0" /> </DockPanel> <Viewbox.RenderTransform> <TransformGroup> <ScaleTransform/> <SkewTransform/> <RotateTransform/> <TranslateTransform/> </TransformGroup> </Viewbox.RenderTransform> </Viewbox> </Grid> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mots54 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Hi All, Getting the following error message when selecting this theme. On v8.2 & followed all instructions. Any help will be very appreciated. Thanks. M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDBlue Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 hmm maybe someone else will know exactly what the error is, but to me the error seems to specify that there's an unknown unit in the GrilaBBWeather.dll plugin. Did you modify the GrilaBBWeather.dll.config as per the instructions to enter your location that you pulled from http://www.woeidlookup.com/ ? If so, maybe open up the GrilaBBWeather.dll.config and copy/paste the contents on here so we can see if there's a typo in there. I'm guessing that perhaps the c or f in the "<add key="Units"" section might be mistyped or broken somehow... just a guess though based on the error message above. FYI, the GrilaBBWeather.dll.config file should be located in your ..\LaunchBox\Themes\Unified\Plugins folder in case you didn't know where the file is located. -CDBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyverjay Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 Is it possible to have the game info appear when you enter into the play game screen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted April 26, 2018 Author Share Posted April 26, 2018 What do you exactly mean with game info? The game descriiption? I've had it first in there but removed it in the end as it looked way better and cleaner without it in that particular View. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guyverjay Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Yeah the game description seems like a waste not to be able to view it (This was one of the problems with hyperspin, no game description) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

epicrean Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I must be missing a step.... When I launch bigbox I have the wheel to the right showing my systems, but when I go into a system I get a grid box that shows the name of the game, no wheel, no art, just a box that goes vertical.

You need to switch the view, all themes have more than one view, you can switch it in options/views, or set it to a button and switch on the fly.

MatrixMan Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) Hello, I'm currently working on my custom theme and I'm really amazed by the Unified art design. But here is my problem: In the platform view, the text details on the upper right side are directly on the console/system graphics. Is there an option to make the text smaller and move it out of the graphic, or maybe turn it off completely? I've made a video so you can see, what I am talking about. Any tips? Thanks in advance.

Cauptain Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 (edited) SOLVED!!! Hi all, <TextBlock Name="tbArrivalDateTime" Text="{Binding Source={x:Static sys:DateTime.Today}, StringFormat='{}{0:MMMM dd, yyyy}'}" Does anyone know how to use my local language date format? I found something that talks about it but I can not implement it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Solved. My friend Fabyo Oliveira found the solution. It is suitable for any language. Tested with Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. Just copy line, replace the full line in every LaunchBox\Themes\Unified\Views\*.xaml files and change "ConverterCulture=Your Countre Code" Find your code here: Language Culture Names <TextBlock Name="tbArrivalDateTime" Text="{Binding Source={x:Static sys:DateTime.Today}, StringFormat='{}{0:MMMM dd, yyyy}', ConverterCulture=pt-BR}" FontFamily="{StaticResource FontBebasNeue}" VerticalAlignment="Center" HorizontalAlignment="Right" DockPanel.Dock="Right" FontSize="35" Foreground="Gold" /> Claudio Edited April 30, 2018 by Cauptain SOLVED!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbslc2017 Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Custom Backgrounds. First, this is my favorite theme by far. My question is that I've created a playlist called "Beat 'Em Ups Collection" Under this location: H:\Launchbox\Themes\Unified\Images\Theme\Background I have placed the following file: "Beat _Em Ups Collection.png" However, I'm still getting the default background. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted May 1, 2018 Author Share Posted May 1, 2018 I'm not sure if the underscore works with the methode I'm using for calling the artwork. Try to remove it from the file name and the ' from your playlist name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
