BigBox Marquee second screen question

[Zellet]

Spoiler

 

Hi. So I set the marquee on my second display to prioritize Clear Logos over actual marquee images because well, every game has clear logos so the design is uniform across all platforms, not just arcade selection.

Anyways my question is how do you set the platform catagory to use clear logos also set as marquee? Mine only displays platform Banners even though I unchecked banners in image priority list and pushed clear logos to top? Clear logo works fine for all games but not the platforms themselves? They still show banners instead of clear logos.

Also can the marquee settings be customized per platform, or is there only one general setting. Thanks

In the theme you are using edit the PlatformMarqueeView.xaml and change the image binding from:

Source="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.BannerImagePath}"

to

Source="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.ClearLogoImagePath}"

As far as customizing marquee per platform there is no setting in BB UI you can use to do that. So you would have to do some coding and folder/file creation.

To accomplish this you can create custom xaml files for different platforms.

1. In your theme's \Views folder create a folder called GameMarqueeView. So it would be \[Theme Name]\Views\GameMarqueeView\

2. Inside this folder if you copy the GameMarqueeView.xaml and paste it in here and then rename it after a platform you can then edit that file and that platform will have a unique marquee view for games. For example "Arcade" would be \[Theme Name]\Views\GameMarqueeView\Arcade.xaml.

You can do this as many times as you want renaming the file exactly as your platform is named and each can have a unique view.

Just be mindful if you are using the Default theme you cannot do any of this to that theme. Any edits will always revert back to the stock code. So you need to copy the Default theme folder and then rename it to any name you want to give it. Then you can edit that copy and use that theme.

I'm using a customized version of Fundamental.
