I think all 3 indicator icons features should probably be rolled into one creating a new helpful aspect to LB/BB. You could select which ones show per system/game and have a nested option to select controller type.

Yeah, too late to combine poll items, but I can certainly implement them together if they're voted high enough.

I feel like nobody knows what Parsec implementation does, or it'd be voted much higher.

I know what it is but dont understand why its on the list. All it does is stream your desktop, much like Steam does, i dont see what integration is needed there, you can already use it to stream Launchbox/Bigbox to another PC.

Hey @Everyone 

I would like to take a moment to try to persuade you to vote for the (in my opinion) one of the most important features in this poll: Big Box Wall View Overhaul

My case:

As you can see HERE and HERE both @Grila and @CriticalCid (two of the most recognized theme developers) have had problems with the wall view since September 2018, citing limits on what it can do and limiting their creative visions.

The goal? A real, well fleshed out, balls out, true 10 foot experience, console-like quality UI, like these dreams:

Without these upgrades, this kind of User Interfaces are going to be VERY hard to exist on our premium product, Big Box. Believe me, once we have this kind of upgrades, I think the theme development scene will improve tremendously. Please, to all of you: Vote for Big Box Wall View Overhaul This is our opportunity to tell @Jason Carr that this is the most important thing for the future of Big Box, the main feature that keeps the development going as a succesful business!

 

Thanks for reading, and thanks for all your hard work, Jason!!!

No option to vote on the ability to use a custom pdf reader so LB doesn't automatically default to the system pdf viewer, which is feature rich but bloated and not suited to viewing manuals with a controller at all ?

Nobody brought it up on the live stream, so i guess its a niche request.

I agree with the wall view being worked on and would even go as far as saying that even adding a more 3D effect to the wall view would make it more immersive.... Like the selected game could if clicked on would enlarge in the centre of the screen and then flip over to the rear, then minimise back.... Just a thought ?
