not a bug, you cant have 2 wheels in a view!  you click on the existing wheel, right click, select paste properties then select which properties you wish to apply, such as layout, wheel etc..

Yeah thats what i was doing mate.  When you try and paste or paste in place it says you can't have multiple instances so i knew that wasnt the way to go, so I applied all 13 items listed in "paste properties" and none of them transfered the copied settings over.

UI Capture is on hold until i figure out how to make it work when a view is running in BigBox, no work around as of yet.

Wheel Item animations will be for a future release, i had my hands full with what i achieved for 2.5

No problem, theres a little work i've had a go at around that can be useful so long as not concerned about text lists however is not very friendly for transitioning, on the wheel creation, so long as you give a lot of space you should make the logo show twice upside down on one side and the other, i did try use the vertical wheel for this so it would show the 3d box's on the sides and then the main box up front however they'd have to be pictures in that mode, obviously not exacly friendly how it looks but these screenshots are without the 3d box option just going off vertical option only as an example how i tried mess.

move your mouse pointer to the very top of the editor and a menubar will be revealed (it auto hides/reveals)

Got it thanks

I watched your videos as well and you showed how you can align the workspace and completely forgot about the menu bar up there 🤦‍♂️

you have an example in both 2.3 and 2.5 where you used these special characters? (the UI Elements used specifically)

Sorry, only just had chance to catch up on the thread but I see you've worked your magic. Many thanks again, I must say from the unfortunately small amount I've managed to play around with 2.5 so far I can already tell it's massively improved, it can't be overstated that you've done absolutely stellar work.

the app was overhauled; hence it has taken 11 months to get this far 🙂

 Maybe there could be a limiter for clear logo size on the wheel?  The issue happens when there's the occasional oversized clear logo which looks too big on the wheel compared to everything else.  Compensating by reducing sizes makes everything else look too small then.

 I will also try different values to see if I can find something that works a bit better.

you can force each wheel item to be the same size by defining a game wheel item template, i created one with a width of 900 and height of 300, added the game clear logo image 

then changed the wheel to reference the wheel item template.

Now this isnt going to fix each image, because some of them contain white space and they are not cropped cleanly

 Yes, which is actually pretty good for 99% of the clear logos.  It's the 1% that are oversized vertically that have an issue.  If I reduce the 150%, then other clear logos look too small.

 

 I will continue to play around with it and see what I can come up with.
