chriskrojs Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) I’m a little confused correct me here: bannerbox 1.2 used custom images that could be created or modded in theme creator, one solid image with the box art and the clear logo on it bannerbox 2.0 doesn’t need the custom images, it pulls the boxart and the clear logo from the images folder and places them in preset spot? is there an option that needs to be selected to do either the custom images vs the non custom images in 2.0? or have I read things way wrong? additional: it appears that when I updated 2.0, it downloaded gigs of custom images, more confused now. cheers. Chris. Edited July 4, 2021 by chriskrojs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris. You basically got it with your first 2 sentences. bannerbox 1.2 used custom images that could be created or modded in theme creator, one solid image with the box art and the clear logo on it bannerbox 2.0 doesn’t need the custom images, it pulls the boxart and the clear logo from the images folder and places them in preset spot? On the forums, when you click the download button, there should see both versions that you can download, and you can choose which one you would rather use. Within the Theme Manager in Big Box, I believe there's only 1.2 available at the moment, although I'll probably replace that version for 2.0 in the next few weeks. The only thing you may be confused about, is that if you install 2.0, and go into the theme manager, it won't recognize that version, and will ask you to "update" it, but it's really just trying to "update" to 1.2, so definitely don't do that.

Haha great. Confusion sorted: I did exactly what you said not to which makes sense now. I had 2.0 for a moment, the updated It to 1.2 which brought all the banners with it. Thanks heaps!

Layer0730 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I noticed an issue with my Nintendo Switch section with the newest Banner Box, as they all look like they are cut off. They are the only images to have the issue. I provided a box image that I use to illustrate how much is cut off. I had assumed that the newest version of BannerBox would just scale the image to fit in the particular area as the others do. Any advice on how to fix would be greatly appreciated.

This is actually the intended way BannerBox works. It will crop images that are too long, instead of bleeding them into the bottom portion of the banner, which contains the clear logo and other information. Nintendo Switch is definitely one of the systems that have long boxes where you will see this happening (other notable ones are 3DO Interactive Multiplayer, Sega CD, and Sony PSP). You could make it so the images stretch to uniform, however, that would end up showing blank spaces on either side of the box. It does require some code changes to make happen though, and it's possible that it may affect other systems that get close to that cutoff point.

Layer0730 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the answer faeran...I thought that might be the case. I'll just use my custom banners overall! Thanks for all your hard work on this theme and making it so customizable! Edited November 1, 2021 by Layer0730 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanCue Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 This is the best theme. I've finally settled on a theme. haha I love it. Thank you for the hard work in getting this put together. I'm hoping now that the android version will be customizable that we can get something better for the game views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for creating this awesome theme It's possible that you didn't unblock the CTC zip file that you downloaded before unzipping it. Use your original download (or download it again), right click the zip file, go into properties, and unblock it. Then extract it to a new location and move the BannerBox CTC files into it. See if that helps. If you publish a theme correctly from the CTC, it's designed to never show errors like that in Big Box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm remembering that wrong though, but if I'm not, it's actually not possible to load this theme into the CTC yet. Not until CTC 2.4 is released.

Looks a bit janky when that happens; screenshots attached. Same problem here. But the platform folder does have a Atari ST baner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barndo64 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 is their a way to change the overlay to the horizontal overlay (the one that snes uses) for game and watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but you would have to jump into the code of that view and duplicate the trigger that is used for SNES to also work for Nintendo Game & Watch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fernandocarvalho155 Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Hi! just a question/Sugestion There is any way to quick change the main filter visualisation from platform to playlists like pressing up or down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's more of a Big Box functionality question and not a theme specific question, and I'm pretty sure there is not. You should be able to make a keyboard or controller mapping that would jump you to the different filter types, if you are wanting to go that route.
