I even made this view working and then decided to change everything The only thing that bugged me was that it was really hard to get it working on a 4:3 ratio. However I think I could give it a second chance. Okay, I just started doing this... so in the next update you will have this view.

thimolor Posted May 24, 2020 Author Share Posted May 24, 2020 Here are some new screenshots from the upcoming update. As you can see the default color scheme is changed. The blue background is also included but not as default. The new platform view seems to work on 4:3 screen also (have to test more) It includes background video for some WOW effect. Game details view will have bigger video and box art and a loading bar. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thimolor Posted May 25, 2020 Author Share Posted May 25, 2020 You know what I just did? I made a view with no freaking videos at all, and I'am loving it myself! It's like the good old days. You only see the box and few screenshots from boxes and magazines, no more cherry picking games! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, the most important image of a game for me is the fan art background (in line with CoinOps). I like views with big images 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayThe2nd Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Platform Wheel 2 is the best looking interface I've seen in bigbox. It looks amazing, thanks for this theme. One nitpicky thing about the games list, is it possible to not make the box cover switch to the screenshot? A lot of games don't have screenshots so the box would just go away and nothing shows up. Thanks again, great theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The games list should show the video after boxart, but if you don't have those it shows the screenshot. This one is hard to get right for all. For example many Arcade games don't use actual boxart. The way you can change the screenshot to something else is to set the fallbacks in the launchbox image options. From there you can manage what images are shown besides screenshots. Remember to change the order also and refresh the images after the settings are saved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayThe2nd Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 that's right I forgot about priorities. I just set screenshot priority to front box so now it goes away and comes right back lol better than no screenshot. thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thimolor Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 Now I need some feedback. My theme is starting to look alot different to the current one. Should I make this a new or update the previous theme? I don't want to upset anyone if they like the current theme better. Why white menu? It's easier on the eyes, especially with long text lists. Also gives a nice contrast and separates the menu from the content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tromzy Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I personally prefer the old version (again !), so maybe you should release it as a variant ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crylen Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 I liked the original a bit more too, the white/light gray looks kind of blinding on my TV. IMO it's a big contrast because that color doesn't stand out on any other part of the theme. Maybe some sort of shade of grey, something between the original and the new? Obviously up to you though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it too (my favorite view from my theme at the moment). I just need to test it a bit more (hard to nail the boxart alignment to show the right stuff).

I really love the big size box art. hopefully you could include an option to not switch to something else.

thimolor Posted May 29, 2020 Author Share Posted May 29, 2020 Last sneak, I promise. Tomorrow I will realease this as version 1.3 (there won't be any variants) and I truly hope you will like it, because I have poured my heart and soul into this. I think after this, the theme is finally done and I'am going to concentrate into gaming also. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
