CMOSS Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Hi! I suggest that you map a key to change the view within BigBox. Just go to options / keyboard mapping and set it up. Then, press the key until the view that you like shows up. I hope this helps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks They do great work with themes, but setting up can be complicated, would be easier when uploading a theme, if they could have a couple of screenshots of what to do where?

C-Beats Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I would suggest using the built in Theme Manager in Big Box to help you with your decisions. Most views in the manager have per view screenshots you can view before downloading the theme, and you can select a Theme and view to use inside of Big Box on a global or per platform basis in that tool.

With "Theme Manager" do you mean Manage Themes Manage StartUp Theme Manage Pause Themes I should not change anything in options/view settings?

faeran Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Every theme, including the one you downloaded will have multiple different "Views" for both platform (main wheel) and games (game wheel). To cycle through the different views you can: Go into Options > Views, you will find "Platforms List View" and "Games List View". Go to Options > Keyboard Mappings (or Controller Mappings), find the "Switch View" mapping and map it to a key. Then go to either your Platform view or Games view and click that key, which will cycle through your options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next under its Default Startup View I changed platworm list view and games list view with combination but probably don't know what im doing Easy to get lost with so many combinations of settings make it right On switch view , don't really know what you mean map it in to a key? Think bigbox is to complicated for me but thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @faeran mentioned each theme can support multiple views and it is up to the theme creator what views they make for their theme. The easiest way to see the different views when you have applied the theme is to map a button or a key to the option for "Switch View" in BigBox. Go into either the keyboard mapping section or controller mapping section (depends on your setup) and find the option for "Switch View" and then map a key/button. You can even map one for "Switch Theme". This allows you to see changes real time. Then when you apply the theme and as you are viewing your platform list or your game list if you hit that button it will switch the views to the different view layouts the theme creator made and find the one you like.

Zeaede Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 Yes, BB has a bunch of view types, and im not even close getting it right like it's supposed to look like here? This is what im trying the game wheel to look, but getting something else instead I must do something wrong somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeaede Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) What i have done is 1. Download COINOPS REDUX 1.05.zip, Unzip COINOPS REDUX 1.05.zip to Themes folder 2. Options/Views/ Manage Themes/Installed/COINOPS REDUX 1.05 (Should i apply as main theme?/Got the question "would you like to reset all your platforms and playlist to use this theme as well, yes or no"?) Don't know if i should click yes or no and from there om lost Im not even close get mainwheel to look as picture, i only get other sort of looks of combination when i do changes Edited July 1, 2021 by Zeaede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason it asks if you want to reset all your platforms and playlists to use this theme is because BB allows you to use different themes per platform.

Zeaede Posted July 1, 2021 Author Share Posted July 1, 2021 That is what im trying to figure out what themes per flatform should be on BB with COINOPS REDUX 1.05 The theme is what i like most, but seems difficult to set up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
