theme DarkRoom

Johns12586 · November 2, 2021

Yes, first place I checked. Only used one theme previously but did not have auto-generated sub categories set, besides arcade. I'm relatively new to LB/BB. I will set another theme for a test.

I assume it should navigate straight to the categories after selecting a console? As long as that setting is unchecked?

Thanks again!

Hi @RedSnake great work with this theme its brilliant.

I'd like to tweak a few things on it, is it possible to open this up in the Community Theme Creator so i can move a few things around?

I am sorry but this theme has not been designed with the community theme manager as it uses a custom plugin I developped that does several things (mainly platform random game videos, fanart transitions, video shader).

As a consequence, you will have to edit the xaml directly if you want to change anything that fits your tastes.

Ok thanks. I have no idea about what to do i the xaml or the community theme manger for that matter as i'm new to it all lol

Do you mind if i run it by you to see what you think?

It was just 3 things i wanted to change really, a 3D box instead of the flat boxart in the bottom left corner and on the game wheel view i wanted to fill a bit of the empty space on the right with the scrolling game description instead of of it showing on the TV. I did a quick (and not pretty lol) mockup of what i mean regarding them 2 things.

Lastly and i know you've just said its a main feature but i'd like disable the random game video switching and just have the TV play a generic platform video like the main view does with Arcade, Consoles ect

For the 3dBox, you have 2 ways of doing it:

- either you change the box front priority to "Box- 3D" in Launchbox

- either you edit the "StaticStyles.xaml" file in "Launchbox\Themes\DarkRoom\Views\Styles" folder and change the type of box front to "Box3DImagePath":

<Style x:Key="FrontBoxStyle" TargetType="Image">
<Setter Property="Source" Value="{Binding Path=ActiveGame.Box3DImagePath, IsAsync=true}" />
<Setter Property="RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode" Value="HighQuality" />

<Setter Property="HorizontalAlignment" Value="Left" />
<Setter Property="VerticalAlignment" Value="Bottom" />
<Setter Property="Effect">
<Setter.Value>
<DropShadowEffect BlurRadius="15" Direction="225" ShadowDepth="10" Color="#FF000000" />
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>
</Style>

For the plateform video, you just have to add videos (.mp4) to the "Launchbox\Themes\DarkRoom\Videos\Platforms" folder. It should take priority over random games videos. You have to do that for every plateforms/playlists for which you want a specific video.

For the vertical scrolling text, I tried several things but result is unsatisfaying and I don't know how to display that in a "clean" way.

You can try this:

               </StackPanel>
               <StackPanel Width="890" Height="500" HorizontalAlignment="Left">
                   <DockPanel Width="890" Height="500" >
                       <Canvas Width="890" Height="500" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,10,0,0" ClipToBounds="True">
                           <controls:ScrollableTextBlock Width="890" Height="501" Name="Notes" Text="{Binding Path=ActiveGame.Notes}" FontFamily="LAUNCHBOX_ROOT_FOLDER/Themes/DarkRoom/Fonts/Comic Book.otf#Comic Book" FontSize="25" Foreground="#e7e7e7" TextWrapping="Wrap" ScrollBeginDelay="2" ScrollSpeed="2" ScrollAutoReverse="True" ScrollEndDelay="6" ReverseScrollSpeed="0.5" ScrollDirection="Up" />
                       </Canvas>
                   </DockPanel>
               </StackPanel>
           </StackPanel>
       </Grid>

<Viewbox Style="{Binding ElementName=RSVideoControl, Path=Styles.NeonZPanelStyle}" HorizontalAlignment="left">
           <Image x:Name="Neon" Source="{Binding ElementName=RSVideoControl, Path=Sources.PltfNeonSource}" Style="{StaticResource NeonStyle}"/>
       </Viewbox>

This is an editing of the TextGamesViews.xaml file. Now, my monitor has a 2560*1440 resolution, so you will have to tweek width and height yourself to match your screen resolution.

I personaly don't like how the scrolling text behave with this code but I don't know how to do better and don't want to spend more time on this that I already did

So i added the Atari Jaguar, Microsoft Xbox 360, Microsoft Xbox, Sony Playstation ect .mp4s to the videos\platforms folder and when hovering on say Sony Playstation it still dims and shows a random game with the rating. I want it not to dim and still show the Playstation logo with the TV playing a generic Playstation video.

Where about do i put this in the TextGamesViews.xaml file? Ive tried a few places and get errors every time? Also is this in the wheels view? I would like all the clear logos beside it to scroll through the games.

Sorry for messing about.

That should work I tested it and it works:

The .mp4 file must be put here:

If you did that correctly, then maybe:

- the platform is not the Sony Playstation (or whatever). Do you have sub-playlist or categories for, your platforms (like Sony Playstation - All Games)?

The video to use is binded to the platform nested name:

Priority1FileName="{Binding ActivePlatform.NestedName}"/>
so it should work for all "basic" systems.

The TextGameViews.xaml is used to display the text game view (no wheel) and correspond to the image I showed you

The wheel game view corresponds to the WheelGameView.xaml file. It has no game notes, no game details, just a wheel

If you want the wheel you have to edit the WheelGameView.xaml and add the code corresponding to the game details in the TextGameView.xaml file:

Add the additional references in the beginning:

xmlns:gl="clr-namespace:System.Globalization;assembly=mscorlib"
xmlns:cal="http://www.caliburnproject.org"

Add the missing converters:

Spoiler

<rsc:PathVisibilityConverter x:Key="PathVisibilityConverter" />
           <rsc:StringToCollectionConverter x:Key="StringToCollectionConverter" />
           <rsc:ImageConverter x:Key="ImageConverter" />

Add the path variables:

I have highlighted in green the thing you have to ADD from TextGHameView.xaml to WheelGameView.xaml, as well as some code before and after these needed addition (that is already present in WheelGameView.xaml) to serve as "balises" so that you know where to make the changes.

The yellow highlight is what is specifically needed to add game notes to the game details (which were not present in TextGameView)

Did you solve this problem? I have the same problem.

gaialily · January 10, 2022

Maybe your launchbox is not up to date ?

RedSnake · January 10, 2022

I sent a message in private to @LuxzordMaster for more information and gave some advice/tests but he didn't answer (yet?):

"

Hi,

I checked your post and the error message.

Unfortunately, it is a standard "useless" message that just says that the plugin failed to create the fanart sliding control, but not why.

It is a pretty simple control, so it is a little bit surprising to me that it crashes there.

First of all, could you try to edit the "Launchbox\Themes\DarkRoom\Views\PlatformWheel4FiltersView.xaml" file the following way (I have highlighted the things you have to change):

<TextBlock x:Name="DefaultPltfFanart" Visibility="Collapsed"
               Text="{Binding ActivePlatform.BackgroundImagePath, TargetNullValue='LAUNCHBOX_ROOT_FOLDER/Themes/DarkRoom/Images/Theme/Layout/DefaultPltfView.jpg', IsAsync=true}" />
           <rs:ImageSliderControl Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="3" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="3"
               Offset="{Binding Source={StaticResource BackgroundXOffset}, Converter={StaticResource DimensionW3840Converter}}"
               SpeedUpWhenHold="false"
               Source="{Binding Text, ElementName=DefaultPltfFanart, IsAsync=true, Mode=OneWay}">
               <rs:ImageSliderControl.ImageManager>
                   <rsm:PltfImageManager CashEnabled="false" Quality="85" ProcessorCount="4" CashLimit="500"/>
               </rs:ImageSliderControl.ImageManager>
           </rs:ImageSliderControl>
           <Rectangle x:Name="PltfBackgroundShadow" Grid.Row="1" Grid.Column="1" Fill="Black" Opacity="0.0" />

If it prevents the crash, that means that you can't use the plugin's cash manager for whatever reason.

Also:

- what processor do you have (and how many cores)?

- did you try another theme?

- what is the default view when browsing platforms? "Platform Categories" or "Platforms"?

- could you send me a zip of your "Launchbox\Data", so that I can check if the problem has something to do with your systems collection?

Thanx.

"

I did as you said, but it still doesn't work.

Hello, It seems the theme is no longer working after launchbox version updates. I get error in the DarkRoomPlugin.dll. Is anyone facing the same issue: Any ideas on how to fix it?

Hi,

I updated to bigbox latest version, and I don't have any issues, the theme is still fine on my side.

I have 55000 game split into around 150 systems, and I browsed through all systems without any problems.

The error seems weird to me, as it complains about ImageSourceConverter. So what's happening is that there is a problem with converting an image to or from other data (a path? an image type?)

Can you zip me your DarkRoom theme folder?

Also:

- what is your screen resolution?

- how do you browse your systems (I personaly use the "View Platform Categories"

- do you have this issue right away when launching the theme, or when browsing to a specific system / game?

mbp27 · March 4, 2022

Hello RedSnake, thanks for the quick reply.

I found out what´s the problem. I tried to copy the version 1.0.6 over my previous Darkroom folder. When i deleted the current Darkroom folder and then copied the version 1.0.6, the theme worked again.

TyranUover · August 11, 2022

so the fanart files...do i just post them in the platforms folder? sorry i must be overlooking something.

KingsmanZer0 · November 10, 2022

Hello love this theme. but for the playlist i have Fighting Games and Run & Guns that will not auto play the videos when selected

its auto populated playlist. all the other categories are working great except for those 2.

how would i fix this.

also for games that have no backgrounds how do i show just a maybe like cover artwork or plain black wallpaper instead of the default BIgBox Logo wallpaper.

Thanks!

Edited November 10, 2022 by KingsmanZer0

hoderer · March 27, 2023

Great theme, i love it! Thanks for all the work.

@RedSnake One, maybe silly, question: When no video is found, the screens stays black. Is it somehow possible to show screenshots instead when no video was found?
