Argh I express myself badly! the language barrier not helping! excuse me ;

my question was whether it was now possible to create views containing several boxes independent of each other?

exactly like that:

 

yes thats a wallview, please see my latest video and the video prior to that

the last video i put out

 

 Got it thanks.

In the vertical wheel view is there anyway we can have the vertical coverflow 3D assist to show on the right as well or is that already possible?

I would love to have a option to add a moveable 3D model box in the element creation menu as well so we can create things like this 🙂

i could create another assist for the right hand side, or you can play with the properties to make it how you want it.

for a moveable 3D box you can copy existing xaml code and place inside user source.

I had a play and tbh i could only angle them and change the spacing ect, i couldnt get the whole lot to flip so the big 3d box was on the left of the vertical boxes.  I'll have a proper play after work tomorrow though and see if i can master it.

Any idea where to find this?  I looked through the Refried xaml for it a few times after you mentioned it in the other thread but i may as well be reading hieroglyphics as i have no idea what i'm looking for lol

It isn't too far off.  It moves the main box to the left of the vertical boxes like it should be but the vertical boxes are facing the wrong way and a lot bigger than before.

Change the rotation angle for non selected items

and change camera Z position to 4 or 5 to zoom out (making it smaller)

Only just had chance to check, but the new download has fixed my crash. Thanks a lot.

[y2guru]

Replaced with new build, this contains permanent fixes to the reported crashing issues.

Improved Playlist Support

I tried all sorts of combinations on the rotation angles last night and couldn't get it anywhere near lol,  Ill keep trying though.

And sorry to ask again but I'm still struggling with the xaml to put in the user source for the 3D models.   I have compared an old refried theme xaml with the newest one to try and find the code i need and found this, but after trying out multiple things i can't get it to show still

<coverFlow:FlowModel DataContext="{Binding ActiveGame}" RotationAxis="0.2,1,0" RotationAngle="25" CanManuallyRotate="True" FieldOfView="30" />

These questions should be asked in the main BigBox Custom Theme section as I did not create the 3D objects, either cbeats or faeran may be of assistance.   

This thread is to ensure version 2.5 works, you are able to preview/modify your existing themes, utilize the new functionality and hopefully see the performance benefits that this build has over 2.3

Ok sorry.   My theme worked perfectly in 2.5 and the performance is amazing.  I can't wait for your video showing how to use all the bells and whistles

[REI AYANAMI]

The program works perfectly now. Thanks.

@y2guruCan't wait for the final release!

I have the finger on the button "edited the theme)! everything that was impossible before is now possible! See everything even more!

It's huge; we can reproduce any theme, create new ones, mix assets , making combinaisons  : everything is possible! You have lifted almost all the technical limits!

There will always be things to do, but the work is enormous! I haven't seen everything yet; but I really congratulate you!!

is a nice end-of-year gift that you give us here: very glad you took your time!🤘😇
