Since the start of the year, I've had a lot of work IRL, and I'm not managing to make progress on the new theme as quickly as I'd like. That said, if you want to make a fork, no problem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, I completely understand. I'm quite busy with numerous projects myself. Considering this, it would be beneficial to add this theme to Github, allowing the community to contribute by submitting pull requests to address bugs. Bugs reported in comment sections often get overlooked and may never be resolved in a stable version. When you find the time to focus on the theme, you can review and merge pull requests on Github. While I'm willing to host the theme on my Github, it seems more logical for it to be on your Github, given that you're the creator. Let me know if we can proceed with this, and I'd be happy to assist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted January 29 Author Share Posted January 29 Well, no. I'm no longer the one developing the theme. All the code is done by @faeran. I'm only in charge of design and graphic assets. You'll have to check with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiriusVI Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) Hey @viking loving your theme, but will the colors that don't match with the ones in the platform videos ever be fixed? It's really distracting and I can't get myself to use COLORFUL as my main theme, as long as these color issures are not resolved. Best wishes!

Sorry for my silence lately. A lot of work IRL since Christmas + the kids + renovations in my house. Don't expect any update very soon. Sorry for the inconvenience. But I haven't given up! I still have the theme v3 in mind. And once it's developed, I'll go back to creating platform videos.

Let me know if I'm wrong and I can dig around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skizzosjt Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 those links on page 1 have been broken for a long time on this main discussion thread. the links are available on the file page. go to post below for the CTC files @Light Sock if you do not have an old version of CTC you got a handful of work to do to make it look good. you can find a post from me on the previous page detailing the issue and solution. CTC 3.1.5 is def superior to 2.5.5 so I think it's worth doing it, assuming you want to keep all the animations and opacity fades etc type stuff.

Yes, this is true, you would have to use an older version of the CTC, but they should still work fine with it. At the moment, there's no plans to port it to newer versions of the CTC at the moment, but anyone that wants to is free to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moocowe Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Don't suppose anyone has a link for v2.5.5 of the Community Theme Creator? Or even better, the theme files already updated for the latest CTC 3.1.5? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RicRod Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 (edited) Hello! @faeran Thanks for this awesome theme. I'm using it on my handheld and a PC, and on the summary, it says it has a "Gamepad connection indicator and battery level," but it doesn't show any of that on either the light or dark variation. I already looked into all the visual options, but there's no toggle or checkbox to enable them. Could you please help me to enable these options? Thanks!

LukeParry Posted July 3 Share Posted July 3 (edited) Thank you for this wonderful theme! It is exactly what I have been looking for. I am having one issue though - with the animations during fast-scrolling (holding up or down in game list) or when the system goes into Attract Mode. In this video, you can see that once the Attract Mode starts spinning, after a second or two the background image of the previous game will come in and mess up the view until it stops spinning. Is there any easy fix for this issue? The theme is otherwise perfect but this is driving me crazy trying to resolve. Please see this video, the issue occurs at 4s, 14s, and 23s. The first time it loads a blank black gradient background, and the next two times it loads backgrounds from the previous game. The issue is on the "WheelGamesView" in the community theme creator. It also loads a bit of the LeftSideRectangle in the bottom left, you can see a blue strip during Attract Mode. I have tried editing animations (or removing them entirely) but this issue persists. Any solution? Thanks so much again for the great theme! Edited July 3 by LukeParry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling this is related to using the CTC files which were designed in CTC v2.3 but you would be using a newer version of CTC I bet v3.1.5 ? can you confirm which version of CTC you are using? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, I am using CTC v3.1.5 with the Colorful Theme editable version in the original post v2.03. Is there any solution for this issue? Do I just need to do my tinkering in an older version of CTC? Edit: This does seem to effect even the base version of Colorful Light theme from what I can see. Can you recreate this issue?

I'm not sure exactly what bit of code change that created this issue, most of this WPF/XML stuff is over my head honestly lol. But I can say with certainty it is related to you using CTC 3.1.5 but it can be mitigated with adjustments! The timing/execution of anything tied to the "update during selection" or "update after selection" radio bubbles behave different between older CTC versions (2.5.5 and prior) and more recent 3.X.X+ versions. I made a post about it a few posts back and on the previous page detailing how I made adjustments to get all this stuff back in sync with each other. I know of no way to get an older version of CTC and the older version is not as good anyways. Slower, less features kinda thing. I prefer using the newest version so I took it upon myself to make the adjustments to restore the original intended look of the theme. If you get stuck with the adjustments, come back and I'll see what I can do to help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you again for being so helpful!!! @skizzosjt I took a stab at fixing with the grid blocks as you recommended and it appears to be working! I was able to correct the left rectangle box to animate correctly. Thanks so much! I am sure I could resolve the rest of my issue, but I am not sure what the remaining element (the right side background that comes in during Attract Mode) that I need to do the same procedure on. Do you know which element I am looking for? Sorry for the basic question! Edit: I applied the grid box setup to the "Screenshots - Fallback" video element and that got rid of the background image, but now there is plain black animation in the background on the right side. So close! Updated pic attached. Edited July 3 by LukeParry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know which element I am looking for? Sorry for the basic question! (old pic below) the larger one towards the right, I think you're looking for the fallback image. I think what that is, is when a video file isn't found it falls back to an image. might be called "fallback image"? not really sure what it would have been called originally because I have renamed a lot of stuff to make more sense to me you can click on stuff in CTC to bring up the editing controls for that element. since everything operates in layers, if some other element is on top of what you are trying to select, you would select the top most element. so to click on elements in layers that lower in the layer stack, you can try hiding or locking the ones that are higher up. I think it is a lock icon (like a typical MasterLock key lock) for locking elements. And it is an eyeball icon for making an element visible/invisible. you can toggle these icons on/off as you wish. this would also help you identify what you see in the theme is what element, and therefore what specific element needs adjustments. locked and invisible elements allow you to click on stuff that are lower in the layer stack. give it a shot, you'll see what I mean once you try it because I'm guessing my description here sounds a little funny lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So close! Updated pic attached. that likely makes sense. if there is no video file, and you removed the Screenshots - Fallback element, then there might be no element existing in that area. So what you are seeing is likely the bottom most layer, a black background. you might want to consider adding that back in or coming up with another idea to prevent seeing a black background when that situation arises. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
