y2guru Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Decided to rewrite the Editor in WPF (from winforms) and as you'll see the benefits of doing so are obvious. 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retrofrogg Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Can you edit Launchbox Next themes with this too, or just BigBox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a custom editor for my BigBox Theme PASC only, it allows you to swap out the graphics, resize and position various UI elements so you can make it look like your own theme without having to code.

Retrofrogg Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Will definitely try it. Would be nice to have one for Launchbox too ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 so if I'm reading that correct this doesn't actually edit BB themes it only edit your specific theme? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but the tools allow you to completely re-arrange all the elements of it, so it could look unrecognizable to the original theme if you put in the effort i'm guessing, also i'm betting you could also swap out any images for your own as well. So you could almost design a completely new theme using PASC as the base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 yeah I figured that I just remembered reading about this a while ago and mistakenly assumed it would work with all BB themes is all its still pretty cool either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PASC theme purely exists as a base Theme which can either be tweaked to your own liking or duplicated (with a new name) then overhauled using your own images.

y2guru Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Changed some visual elements Added plugin support Added video preview Performance enhancements Interrogation of Launchbox metadata xml Many other changes either non visible or just too plain boring to mention. This video will demo the following: Theme preview will be displayed in exactly the same aspect ratio windows is currently set to (will also change if you change the windows display settings) Single frame video preview will now be shown (better than a black rectangle) Metadata XML interrogation, scroll text (notes) is a good example. The PASC theme reacts to configuration changes within milliseconds. (Editor open and making changes while bigbox and pasc theme is active) Edited November 29, 2018 by y2guru 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
