Thank you very very much @CriticalCid for the theme! Awesome work!

Can you please give me a hint how i can put the wheel on the left? i cant seem to find it in the xml datas.

im using the vikings platform videos and it just would look perfect if the wheel would spin on the left side :)

 

thank you very much!!

@Codiox I am not sure if Cid will tell you directly how to edit the xml, but early on he did say for now at least he will not make a version that supports the wheel on the left. I think it is on page 4 where he mentioned it. 

Oh I see. Than please let me now how I can fix this by myself, because I really need it.

Unfortunately that’s not quite as easy as other modifications. You’ll basically need to completely revert the column theme structure and mirror some elements by 180° in order to this.

I'm assuming that  you have no experience with WPF/XAML and guiding you through the whole process would just take me much more time than to just do it myself. And as the latter is already too time consuming for me at this point I have to tell you that can’t help you with that. I’m truly sorry.

Thank you for your response. Actually I'm an electronic engineer with experience in XML structures. So if you think that is enough to do it on my own, I would gladly take your help and advices. If you could tell me what parts in the XAMLs I can play around with, that would be awesome :)

Thank you.

Well all elements are commented so I hope that helps a little.

You'll have to reverse the order of the columns inside the columns definition and assign the Grid.Column properties of the wheel and pointer according to the new order. For example if the Wheel was previously on the very right column 4 it would be now the very left column 0, etc.

As for mirroring the wheel and the pointer it could be enough to just invert the respective properties but I haven't tested that myself so you'll need to play around with that yourself.

That's a start, thank you very much! I will look into it! Any way to test it besides starting big box every time? Is there some kind of debugger for this? How are you designing these themes?

Is there a way to Download the original version 1.0 of the theme? I love the theme, it's amazing! Thank you for making it! but i prefer the old Game Details Screen.

Unfortunately I don't have it anymore but you can simply delete the TextGamesView.xaml file inside the Views folder

You get some kind of visual feedback when you use VisualStudio but personally I don't find it very useful and just use Notepad++ for everything. When you edit a Games View you can just go back to the platforms menu and if you editing a Platforms View you can enter the options menu and then go back to see the new changes.

Wow, didn't know it take the changes immediately! Thanks for that! Is there a way to run big box in a window? I'm using notepad++ on a daily base so that's a plus!

Thanks, i'll try that!

Please check my post in the previous page about the visual differences, i'm curious if that's normal or not.

I’ve talked with Jason about this and it seems to be a Big Box issue caused by changing themes on the fly. He’s aware of that and wants to fix it in the future.

But for now there’s nothing I can do about that really.

Unified Add-on Package v1.1 released!

The talented @RetroHumanoid was working hard and did artwork for 200(!) new Collections for the Unified theme! That takes the covered playlists in the Add-on package now up to 295 in total! Like previously it also includes all Clear Logos for them as well.

He also did platform videos for everything that's currently covered in the Add-on package. They can be downloaded from his website and will be also directly available through LaunchBox once Jason found them to upload them all, but that’s not entirely in our hands when that will happen.

For now grab them from here:
