RetroHumanoid Cinematics & Refried Theme

[crusadeRGP]

Thanks for the great theme I'd like to use the animated Box/CD in the game details page view is there an easy way I can accomplish this?

[Styphelus]

Does anyone know what values control the positioning and size of the box art and cart? I want to make some adjustments on my end (OCD). 

Also, is it possible to add a star ratting at the bottom?

[Kondorito]

EDIT: Disregard, I misunderstood your question Styph. You wanted to add the text value for stars at the meta in the bottom, not adding actual stars XD

The simplest way is to adjust these numbers till you get it where you want it...they will vary per theme,but,they all are under the Margin setting...anything beyond that requires you to redo the entire grid in the theme,which is going to throw the whole thing off.

 

<!-- 3D BOX -->
            <Image x:Name="CoverImage" Grid.Column="2" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Grid.Row="1" Grid.RowSpan="4" Source="{Binding Path=ActiveGame.Box3DImagePath}" Opacity="100" Panel.ZIndex="6" Margin="25,-30,25,30" Stretch="Uniform" VerticalAlignment="Top" HorizontalAlignment="Right" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" >
                <Image.RenderTransform>
                    <TransformGroup>
                        <ScaleTransform/>
                        <SkewTransform/>
                        <RotateTransform/>
                        <TranslateTransform Y="-4320"/>
                    </TransformGroup>
                </Image.RenderTransform>
            </Image>

Where did you want to add it exactly?...and do you mean text,or the actual stars?

Actual stars in the same line as the year/publisher/genre text or underneath it. Whatever works with the theme/code.

Thanks for giving me to box cover values. This is the only theme I'll be using form now on.

@RetroHumanoid just in case you are interested in pulling this off, check the below post by Surhvivor; he and bmonomad were able to merge graphical additions for Cid's theme, and got a bottom bar with Completed/Favorite/Players/Stars as images. You can download the file and play with it.

 

 

How it looks:

I did consider adding that in the beginning...I believe it requires a plugin...I will look into adding it in the future,when I am done with all the addon themes. Another thing I considered,was using the actual systems controllers to display the amount of players a game is...but,that is on the shelf for now.

Love that!...I will look into it more

I see mention of an 'easy fix' for missing background images.  My Panasonic 3DO theme is missing the background image.  Any steer on what I need to do to get it to show?

Thanks in advance

@Stovies go into "Launchbox/Themes/Unified Refried/Images/Theme/Background/" and find 'Panasonic 3DO'...rename that correctly to your system name

@RetroHumanoid Perfect!  Thank you sir.  Much appreciated.  Your theme makes me very happy

In relation to the Arcade/MAME theme and bezels support - I'm assuming that's coming in a later build?

Ooooh Megadrive and Mega CD,  Just need PAL snes now. ?

[RetroHumanoid]

Implemented the Graphic displayed Star ratings,and the player icons,as well as tagged the year onto the end of the game title. I have only done this on one theme as a test so far. I will change all of the current themes,and then re-upload them as a new version...then I will finish up the new themes and release those.

 

[Styphelus]

Holly molly. You're on fire! Love the star rating and player icons.

BTW, how do you compress your system videos. I created some for my own setup but once I run them through handbreak, they look washed out in Launchbox. They look fine outside launchbox so I don't know what going on. They don't look as vibrant as your videos, that's for sure.

Great work on the new icons

Love the Mega CD and Mega Drive variants, a Mega 32X would finish up the set nicely, fingers crossed you get spare time to make matching videos to match with all your other great work

Theres a few random platforms that I have that don't have a background.

How would I go about adding a background for a specific platform? Can i just copy/paste a platform theme of yours, rename it and swap the background image? Or is there more too it than that?
