y2guru 790 Posted October 1, 2019 Community Theme Creator for BigBox View File The Community Theme Creator for BigBox is still in development and should be treated as an Alpha build, however it has enough features in place that would allow you to start building your own Themes. (Please see Pyramids by @Rincewind) As I have no documentation at this point, please visit my YouTube Channel as I demonstrate some of the various features. http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCALHDoR8oQifl6sbIrdrW6w Installation 1. Download .zip file 2. Unblock (right click on the .zip file, select properties and click on Unblock) 3. Unzip where ever you like 4. Go to the unzipped folder and go to folder ".Install these fonts first to allow the demo theme to load correctly in the editor" 5. Install the 2 fonts (these are only needed for the included Theme) 6. Click on the "COMMUNITY Theme Creator for BigBox.exe" 7. Fill out the setup properties (userid / name and location of the BigBox.exe ) 8. Enjoy! FYI. If you wish to design a Theme in either 4:3 or 16:9 or any other aspect ratio then simply change your windows desktop settings to the desired resolution and open the editor.

CMOSS 72 Posted March 3, 2020 (edited) Hi! How can I create a specific view for a playlist (for example, Atari Classics) with the Theme Creator? I have created a playlist and added it to the list of platforms, but it won't show up in the Theme Creator. Best!

Zaazu 37 Posted March 14, 2020 (edited) Hi, Is there a way to undo a change? If I move an element, I'm not able to CTRL-Z to move it back. Also I've ran into a few issues; The text scroller isn't scrolling, and I have a few installed fonts that aren't showing up. Thanks.

y2guru 790 Posted March 14, 2020 I have not tackled Playlists yet. No undo... at least not yet... kinda tricky and easier said than done. Text Scroller, set the speed to 1 and go from there Fonts... i'm aware of that issue especially if that font has many variations Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

y2guru 790 Posted March 15, 2020 It doesn’t scroll when you publish? Or are you expecting it to scroll in the editor? horizontal or vertical scrolling? What field are you trying to scroll ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zaazu 37 Posted March 15, 2020 Wait my bad, it does scroll, I was expecting it to scroll in the editor also, woops! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CMOSS 72 Posted April 10, 2020 Hi @y2guru I have an issue when specifying the resources in the text area of the "Manage External Plugins". I am doing the following: After clicking the OK button, if I open again the window, what I get is the following: Everything is removed after the first occurrence of "/>". The generated view makes then BigBox crash (I can make it work as I want it to by adding the original 2 lines on the generated view directly, within the <UserControl.Resources> tag). Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance. PS. I am using version 1.0.6.1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
