soqueroeu Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 (edited) Hey @viking and @faeran, What happened to the views we discussed last year? Any chance of seeing them in future updates? These shouldn't be left out, they were great! 🤩 Bonus! Please consider creating image like below, for anyone who wants to use the theme without videos: Edited April 8, 2022 by soqueroeu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soqueroeu Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I think you need to put an edge limiter here: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG THX MAN! 19 hours ago, clockw3rk said: @faeran @viking Thank you both for all of your work. This is still the best theme for Bigbox, and I'm looking forward to all of the tweaks you make from here forward. On the transition timing that your family was too impatient for: How about halving the transition time? I personally think you're spot-on with the design, and even most of the transition details, but you could certainly add speed. Yes. It's pretty but it's too slow in real use. @faeran, is it difficult to speed up the general transition animation on the PlatformView a bit? 19 hours ago, kobaturtle said: Thanks for the screenshot fix! Same! I'd be curious about halftime transition. I really like new transition animation! Also, I noticed the highlighted search letter is slightly missaligned with an oversaturated green (see attached) Another quick suggestion, is it possible to add plateform name in WheelGamesViews? (somewhere around title name maybe?) It would be usefull when navigating in a playlist with titles plauylist from several plateforms. Thank you so much for this amazing theme! Difficult to add the platform name here. This space is reserved for games with long name! (see below) I'm trying to find another place for him! 12 hours ago, soqueroeu said: I agree . @kobaturtle! There are different versions of the same game on different platforms. We need to know exactly which version we want to play. I'm going to test the Theme now and, if there is any point of improvement, I'll come back to let you know on the forum: @faeran and @viking , thank you and all team involved in this great update! Thank you for gifting us with the hardware set images. I'm sure many will ask to use the images in other themes, because they are very beautiful. For Now, I missed some platforms, like the Sharp X68000 and american Super Nintendo. Please, can you make them for us ? Apparently, we still have the old color problem: Here a problem with long names: Yes, the PNG hardware set will be useful I think =) It will be updated at the same rate as the video set. I might make a special post for him, but it's hard to maintain. The color problem comes from the "categories" obviously. With a variant for Arcade, which takes the purple color of the platform. Indeed, this game has a very long name! @faeran, maybe reduce the size of the title font a little bit? 6 hours ago, crusadeRGP said: Having issue with exiting game details page when using vertical wheel 2.

But Faeran regained control of the dev. We wanted to lay a solid foundation before creating a new view. This is the next step! (with adjustments to be snappier, faster) The platformview without video is still planned! The PNG hardware set was missing and it's now done! 4 hours ago, soqueroeu said: I think you need to put an edge limiter here: Yes you're right ! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next release I'll add an experimental Platform View 3 where the start of all animations will be cut in half so you can get a feel for it. It means you'll have less time while navigating the wheel before things start animating away, so for slow scrollers it may not be ideal. I'll also have the box size fixed on the text games view. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soqueroeu Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 OK @faeran Please let me know which files and code should I change to fix these platform vs banner inconsistencies: Also, how to correct these colors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can all be done within the CTC now. You can download the CTC files on the theme page's description, load it into the CTC and make changes via its interface. Looks like the platforms are case sensitive, as there's definitely an entry for "NEC PC Engine", and you seemed to have gone against the grain to make yours "Nec PC Engine" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I doing something wrong? Just tried and they do look like they are working when you click them. Try a different browser maybe if they are not working for you. This video can show you how to load the files into the CTC: Once loaded, you'll need to enter into one of the views, like Platform Wheel 2, click on one of the elements that has color conditioning (they are marked with a green C ), and go into the Conditions window where you'll see all the conditions. You can add new ones, or edit ones that don't meet any non-standard naming conventions you may have. Then you can publish out the theme.

I've tried in other browsers and still the same error. EDIT: Sorry guys. The popup blocker was blocking the links.

meathax Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Thanks for this awesome theme! I am wondering is it possible to reduce the delay on the video playing in the gamelist view, atm its about 3 seconds from selecting a game to seeing a video, which file can i edit to reduce it down so the video pops up faster when scrolling? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing a quick check, looks like the animation on the video starts at 1.5 seconds for the video to appear, and about a second for the animation to complete.

soqueroeu Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) Hey @faeran , Is there any way to correct the colors by manually editing some text file? I looked in the folder theme, found info on TextListView, TextGamesView, Wheel2GamesView, TextFiltersView and WheelGamesView, but it looks like the color control is not coming from these. Nothing change! Please, Help us! Edited April 16, 2022 by soqueroeu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @neil9000, but I looked at all files where this information appears, even in the one you recommended, the color values are exactly as they should. But the colors still show the default green: EDIT: Yeah... the problem was case sensitive. But it is strange the PC Engine CD was No Case and had the correct colors. When in doubt, I renamed all Nec to NEC. It's OK now. Thanks anyway. Edited April 16, 2022 by soqueroeu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soqueroeu Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) Guys, I could not correct the Super Nintendo Color. Apparently there is some bug with this platform. On my system it's called Nintendo Super NES and was duly scraped as Super Nintendo Entertainment System. I already changed the color code in the xaml and still nothing changes. Please, could someone help me to fix it? Edited April 17, 2022 by soqueroeu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will need to change the name in the view you are using.xaml in the same place you are changing the colour code as you are using a non standard platform name that will not match what is in the theme.

Ahhh, with the right information, things work fine now. Thank you very much @neil9000!! It's not enough to change the colors code, we need to change the platform name to match what the theme asks for. I had to change the lines below and then adjust the color value for both. I'll do this for all the other views. Before: After: @faeran , I wonder why we don't have these views based on the scraped name instead of the name given by the user. 🤨 Edited April 17, 2022 by soqueroeu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
