thimolor Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) Support will be slow, sorry for that. If you run into issues concerning the custom banner images, please refresh the images first. Also please check your LaunchBox image options for fallbacks. I could not test all the platforms so there could be file naming issues. Updated view. Decided to dump the horizontal menu. Tried to make it and almost succeed, but I think it was too hidden from the eye to be user friendly.Hi, Here is my first vision of the gameview. I would like to make the menu horizontal. Is that possible with the tools? I have not done much research yet. Here is a link to the template: https://xd.adobe.com/view/d31b131d-2522-4f51-456f-f37fa15d76ed-a52a/ Edited June 1, 2020 by thimolor version 1.3 released 1 Quote

thimolor Posted April 21, 2020 Author Posted April 21, 2020 Here's my updated game details view. I think I achieved what I wanted and now going to make more views. 4 Quote
thimolor Posted April 23, 2020 Author Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Final touches for the game details view. Tested on 46 inch tv from 3 meters away and was able to read the text. Now finally going to make those other views. Edited April 23, 2020 by thimolor Quote
C-Beats Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 So far the theme looks really cool. Be fun to see where you end up. Keep up the good work. Quote
Kondorito Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 That details view looks awesome! I am really curious now to see what are you doing with the plats and games views Quote
thimolor Posted April 24, 2020 Author Posted April 24, 2020 Thanks for the support! Here's my first platforms view. Got the idea from Bannerbox theme. I really liked the idea. Keeping things clean and simple. Trying to find ways to keep this theme responsive by not using custom art. I may have to test this view in the community theme editor to find out is this actually possible to make. 2 1 Quote
ALIE Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 This is looking very interesting. Clean and simple Quote
thimolor Posted April 25, 2020 Author Posted April 25, 2020 Got it working in BigBox. Found some nice clip art. Now to do some animations. I'am having trouble with the animations in Community Theme Creator. 1 Quote
proghodet Posted April 25, 2020 Posted April 25, 2020 I'm looking very much forward to try this out when it's done. Looks great! Quote
thimolor Posted April 25, 2020 Author Posted April 25, 2020 It's coming alive. Here's a sneak peak. Finally got the hang of animating with the tool. https://youtu.be/s5FNefdblG Quote

IMO it takes just a tick too long before the logo shows up, but that's just my preference Quote

proghodet Posted April 26, 2020 Posted April 26, 2020 Just an idea, in keeping with Faerans banner theme: how about using Device Fanart as a background on each platform? Just a thought Example: 1 Quote

Just a thought Example: Sorry, but I can't. I need to keep the look and feel across all the views the same. The BannerBox banners are great but they look nothing like I would design. My theme is going to look a bit dull compared to other themes. There are so many colorful and visually mind blowing themes already made, so I thought I could make something different. Like Gandalf always said: Keep It Clean, Keep It Simple. 2 Quote

The theme is coming along beautifully and I could not agree with you more. Making BannerBox style banners would simply make this theme a variant of BannerBox. How clean this theme looks (not that BannerBox is bad by any means) is a nice change and how I would recommend keeping it. Quote
