shadowfire Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Lambda beta View File This theme attempt to be minimal and modern and maximise screen estate. Note: this is a beta release and features may change in future releases. Installation Unzip into LaunchBox\LBThemes directory In LaunchBox go to: Options -> Visuals -> Theme: Lambda beta Windows 7/8 user: Microsoft's “Segoe MDL2 Assets” font ( SegMDL2.ttf ) is required for the buttons and icons to rendered properly. (If you have it it will work but it’s not included here because of licensing reasons.) Settings guide tl;dr: You may have to tweak your Boxes aspect ratio and spacing. The top Details image is only visible when Fanart is available. Button bar can't be hidden because of the licensing info. Font and colour settings have no effect (font is based on system font). Settings used in screenshots are: Options -> Visuals -> Boxes -> Spacing: Aspect Ratio: 0.6 * Horizontal Spacing: 2 Vertical Spacing: 2 Horizontal Padding: 8 Vertical Padding: 2 Text Spacing: 4 Text Lines to Show: 2 *) For horizontal box art you may need to use a higher value. Options -> Visuals -> Boxes: Align Text Vertically : enabled Align Text Horizontally : enabled Show Subline : enabled (for platform info) Other recommended settings: Options -> Legacy -> General -> Game Details: Show Fanart: enabled other options at your own preference Options -> Legacy -> Images -> Background Priorities : Fanart : enabled other options disabled Options -> Visuals -> Backgrounds: Background Blur Amount : 100 Background Fade Amount : 0 (Imo. the theme looks best when blurred background Fanart and Details Fanart are the same image.) Settings that don't have any effect: Button bar can't be hidden because the license has to stay visible. Colours are hard coded. Font (including size and scaling) is based on your Windows system settings. Thanks to Grila for allowing me to use his LBPlex theme code, Retro808, neil9000, C-Beats and Jason Carr for testing and everyone who supported this release on the forum.

Eyssa Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Wonderful theme, but I wish the name of the game appeared when I put the mouse on the cover, so that I can differentiate between Disk 1 and Disk 2 like this : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you set "Game Text Lines to Show" to 1 or greater in the "Spacing" section of LaunchBox config? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then adjust that as well to your liking. Thats why the settings are there you can mess with them to get the look you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

airbikecop Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 This is 99.9% what I am looking for! I'm working on a new emulation setup and I'm happy to see this! Good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilidog Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hi - there is an issue with this theme - dates are sorted improperly. See the below thread. I fixed the xaml file and attached it. There was another sorting property in there related to something other than dates. I didn't know what that did so I left it alone - you may want to look at the default theme and see if anything else needs to be changed. Thanks for the great theme!

MadK9 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 (edited) Heres a quick fix to add the Filters button to the search bar. (note this is for the current Beta build of Launchbox, don't use this on any Full version.)

retroNUC Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 As the theme hasn't been getting updates, and I've been fixing things locally as new features cropped up, I may as well fork and compile the fixes for everyone else. First release here: retroNUC/lb-theme-lambda-fix (github.com) beta-fix 1.1.2a 2021-12-09 -SideBarView: Fixed missing Filter button on search bar in later versions of LaunchBox -ListContentView: Fixed column sorting for date-related fields, such as 'Release Date' and 'Last Played' -ListContentView: Fixed missing column bindings (including Badges) that were introduced in later versions of LaunchBox lb-theme-lambda-fix-1.1.2a.zip 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
