I just downloaded it from the Theme Updater, and did a quick once-over on all the platforms to check for color mismatches. Here’s what I found. Platform video color mismatch: NEO GEO CD Taito Type X Amstrad CPC Commodore Amiga CD32 Mattel Intellivision MSX / MSX2 Nintendo Pokémon Mini Sammy Atomiswave Sega Genesis Sega Naomi I downloaded all of the correct platform videos for this manually from the download page for this theme.

OdinsPlayground Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Is it possible to get a Platform view in the 2.0 version that is more or less the same as the 1.X version Platform Wheel 1? Where it shows the System Name / Logo / Year of release, then show the full 16x9 video before it slides to the side etc? In some ways I just find it cleaner, but also helps the entire experience be more cohesive when certain platforms aren't covered by the Colorful theme yet. In the 2.0 they really stand out as you notice it right away when scrolling that the hardware image is missing. Also, how do you edit the colors / custom names for the 2.0 version?

In the 2.0 they really stand out as you notice it right away when scrolling that the hardware image is missing. The easiest way is to copy/paste a view.xaml from v1 to v2. But there will probably be incompatibility with the color management system per platform. @faeran , for this v2, has totally recreated the theme with the Community theme Creator (you can find the sources on the theme download page). Like removing the "hardware.png" from the wheel. Or customize/add platform colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bawnanable Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) Hi @viking! I hope all is going well-- I messaged you before about any interest in making this theme into an Android Launchbox theme; and after having finally received my Odin Lite, I made some small edits to the 16:9 Colorful theme in order to get your beautiful videos into the Platform page of Launchbox (I basically repositioned the videos to the right for the 'Wheel with Details' to fit nicely on the left, plus some other minor edits). I've included a small video below and thought some people may be interested in having these themselves, but I wanted to make sure you'd be happy for me to distribute them before I do so!

There are 3 versions of Genesis/MegaDrive/MegaDrive Jap Sega Naomi > OK, noted and corrected in the next theme update. There are still even more mismatched colors: 1. Arcade Platform Category video is blue but colorful theme color is purple. The Platform CATEGORY theme color should be blue, just like with consoles and computers. 2. The platform Category "Mobile" is green (should be blue to be consistent with the other platform categories) and the video is also green, but a different shade of green. 3. Handheld Category video is blue (as it should be) but Theme color is green (should be blue, too) 4. APF Imagination Machine color mismatch (different shades of green) 5. Atari 5200 very slightly different shades of blue (just enough to see a vertical line where the video ends) 6. Atari 7800 very slightly different shades of blue (just enough to see a vertical line where the video ends) 7. Casio OV-1000 color mismatch 8. Microsoft Xbox very slightly different shades of green (just enough to see a vertical line where the video ends) 9. Microsoft Xbox 360 very slightly different shades of green (just enough to see a vertical line where the video ends) 10. Nintendo 64 very slightly different shades of green (just enough to see a vertical line where the video ends) 11. Nintendo 64 DD very slightly different shades of green (just enough to see a vertical line where the video ends) 12. Nintendo Satelliview very slightly different shades of yellow / orange (just enough to see a vertical line where the video ends) 13. Sega Genesis slightly different shade of red 14. Neo Geo CD slightly different shade of purple 15. Gameboy Color very slightly different shades of yellow / orange (just enough to see a vertical line where the video ends) 16. PSP very slightly different shades of blue / purple (just enough to see a vertical line where the video ends) 17. PSP Minis very slightly different shades of blue / purple (just enough to see a vertical line where the video ends) 18. Tiger Game.com Color mismatch 19. Wonderswan very slightly different shades teal (just enough to see a vertical line where the video ends) 20. Apple II very slightly different shades of blue (just enough to see a vertical line where the video ends) 21. MS-DOS very slightly different shades of blue (just enough to see a vertical line where the video ends) 22. ScummVM very slightly different shades of orange (just enough to see a vertical line where the video ends) 23. Sharp X1 very slightly different shades of red (just enough to see a vertical line where the video ends) 24. Sinclair ZX Spectrum very slightly different shades of red (just enough to see a vertical line where the video ends) 25. Arcade Namco System 22 slightly different shade of red 26. Arcade Sega S-TV slightly different shade of purple / blue 27. Sega Hikaru slightly different shade of purple 28. Sega Naomi slightly different shade of orange 29. Sega Naomi 2 slightly different shade of orange Those were all the ones I could find. Thanks for your hard work! Maybe these will be fixed in the future 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soqueroeu Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) Hi @viking and @faeran ! Guys, this is what I have now: Not sure if this is the intentional design, but honestly, I think this view could be better. It wouldn't be all bad, if the other items had a reduced size, so the selected one gained more prominence and didn't have to be cut around the edges. Any predictions to improve this? What happened to the good ideas we discussed in the past? Here, two design suggestions. What do you think?

viking Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 @soqueroeu Yes, you are right. In fact, this view should not even be active! It's a work in progress that I had coded/tested before Faeran redid the code with the Community Theme Creator. Here is my original Photoshop mokup : About the theme development, I have tons of ideas that are currently maturing. I'm especially waiting for the next release of CTC with all the wheel options. Please be patient : there will be beautiful things to come!!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusadeRGP Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 I've made changes to this theme mainly adding a spinning disc or static cart behind the box when it appears using the CTC program. If I update to the latest version will it undo all the edits that I made and if so how can I update without losing any of my changes?

Maybe best to give your version a different name in the CTC and then publish it. Any new changes, you could download the new CTC files and see if there's anything you would like to update from them. CTC is pretty robust that you can copy and paste what you want and apply it to your theme. You could also do this in reverse and apply your changes to any new CTC files that come out for this theme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drewjbx Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 (edited) I manually updated to 2.02 and it now has the game list horizontal view. Can someone share what I can modify in the axml to allow the boxart not to be cut off. Also maybe have up to 5 games displayed at a time rather than 3. The SNES boxart does not get cut off so image size seems to matter. Edited October 17, 2022 by drewjbx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically, it's an incomplete view that's not supposed to be there, and will most likely be removed in the next update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
