BigBox PlatformCategoryPlaylist Selector

A plugin for BigBox that makes it possible to have a playlist/platform carousel inside any game view/theme via simple .xaml edit of any game view. With this plugin you no longer have to leave the game view as you can select every playlist/platform from there!

Installation:

Globally: Put the BigBoxPCPSelector.dll file into Launchbox/Plugins folder.

Per Theme: Put the BigBoxPCPSelector.dll file into Theme's Plugin folder.

Theme's Game View files: Edit WallView/TextGame/HorizontalGame View's files by adding the plugin to the user control

<UserControl Name="Canvas" ClipToBounds="True" xmlns:PD="clr-namespace:BigBoxPCPSelector.View;assembly=BigBoxPCPSelector" .... />

and after that add the Platform Selector somwhere between the <Canvas> tags as below. These are currently the values you have to give the plugin to work. (Stuff like Position adjustment will be added soon)

<PD:PlatformSelector Panel.ZIndex="900"
            ItemFontSize="20" 
            ItemFontWeight="Normal" 
            ItemForegroundBrush="White"
            ItemBackgroundBrush="Transparent"
            SelectedFontSize="30" 
            SelectedFontWeight="ExtraBold" 
            SelectedForegroundBrush="Black"
            SelectedBackgroundBrush="Transparent"/>

Controls:

Esc: Activate Plugin Wheel

Left/Right: Move carousel index

Up: Switch between playlists and platforms

Down: Deactivate Plugin Wheel

Esc 2x: Escape Menu like default

Enter: Confirm Playlist/Platform selection
