Nothing drastic, i just wanted to know if this looked better on not?

Honestly, I'm a bit indifferent about it. I think I like it better as it is today? 🤷‍♂️

First of fall - fantastic spin on the refried theme. It works great and feels great! It is now my new daily driver.

I've been toying with a few views, to see if I could get them just right for my taste and setup. I'd like to share that work, and the issues I tried to address. Feel free to consider any of these changes going forward, or disregard them entirely (some are definitely a matter of taste).

Keep in mind that any adjustments made was targeting a 1440p resolution. I did not test any other resolution.

PlatformWheel1FiltersView

Although my background videos are 1920x1080 (so 16x9), there is a noticable margin around the screen. Changing the StretchVideo property to True on the SelectedItemVideo1video element fixed it for me.
The original Refried theme has a subtle white shadows on the wheel's clear logos. I added it back to the wheel. I had to add a margin to prevent the shadow from clipping.
Finally, I really wanted the scrolling text to be at the bottom, mostly to match the other views. Definitely a personal taste thing.

Wheel2GamesView

The view is kind of dense to read because it has the same condition coming up again and again (to pick the right color for the platform). I couldn't help myself, so the first thing I did was to create a new hidden TextBlock to store that color, which I then re-used everywhere the color was needed. Doing so cut the number of lines in half I believe it made the view snappier too, but I might be dreaming it.

I re-applied the same changes to the wheel as in PlatformWheel1FiltersView (white shadow and margin).
I commented out the display of the "Unplayed" badge (personal preference).
I added a shadow under the 3D box, the 3D model, carts and discs.
I changed the view so that it display a 3D image if found, with fallback to 3D model if only a front image if found (so reverse of current behaviour).
I reduced the "bounciness" of the falling boxes.
Reworked the alignment of the "Genre, Playmode, Rating" dock so that a missing publisher doesn't affect how the next element lines up (right now, there would be an extra space in front)
Changed the rating to ESRB as documented.

TextGamesView

Removed redundant conditions (same as above)
Added a margin to the Wheel element to prevent the selector from touching the corners.
Added a margin to prevent the clock from getting over the game menu.
Removed the time played floating text. Replaced the game index with time played, and added a shadow effect.
Reworked the alignment of the "Genre, Playmode, Rating" dock so that a missing publisher doesn't affect how the next element lines up.
Reworked which images are shown. Disabled the 5th image (gameplay 3). Replaced Game Play 2 with Game Over. Current layout will display duplicate images if your images are names after the ROMs.
Increased the ZIndex of Rectangle2 so that it sits on top of the screenshots. Otherwise the screen will fade to black while the screenshot stays visible. Easy way to replicate is to select "View Images Fullscreen" and back.
Changed the rating to ESRB as documented.

I've attached the original files along with modified version. They were taken from version 1.8, but are compatible with version 1.9 (some fixes were ported from back from 1.9).

Comments and suggestions are welcome.

I'm also having an issue with the new clock layout in version 1.9. Depending the time of the day, the right margin will vary (from reasonable to null). See attachments.

Nice work, i'll implement some of these to the next release 👍.

You are much better at this than me and i need to pick your brains about how you went about things so here are some questions for you if you don't mind.

The colour text block you said you did to cut the code down, what exactly did you do?

The alignment of the bottom bar (which i struggled with lol) What did do there to make them fit something was missing?

This i am having trouble and is the same issue i have with the new layout i was testing with the index in its own frame on the right as well.

I can't seem to align the text/frame/grid or whatever's controlling it to the right and make it expand to the left, it always goes left to right as shown in your pic. Creating margins and padding just pushes the whole lot off the screen as well. Maybe @faeran can help me with this?

If you look at my Wheel2GamesView and search for PlatformForegroundColor (line 130-ish), you'll see I just isolated the same DataTriggers once at the top:

It's the same logic that's throughout the XAML - it's just it didn't need to be repeated everywhere.

If you compare mine with the original (both attached in my earlier post), I will become more obvious.

If you look at my Wheel2GamesView and search for PlatformForegroundColor (line 130-ish), you'll see I just isolated the same DataTriggers once at the top:

I then deleted every instance of that code and changed the reference to this guy. Example (notice Foreground="{Binding ElementName=PlatformForegroundColor, Path=Text}"):

<TextBlock x:Name="Text2text" Opacity="1.0"  FontFamily="LAUNCHBOX_ROOT_FOLDER/Themes/YART (Yet Another Refried Theme)/Fonts/BebasNeue Bold.ttf#Bebas Neue Bold" FontStyle="Normal" FontWeight="Normal"
	TextAlignment="Left" TextWrapping="NoWrap" TextTrimming="None" VerticalAlignment="Top"
	Text="(" RenderTransformOrigin=".5,.5" Foreground="{Binding ElementName=PlatformForegroundColor, Path=Text}" 
	FontSize="{Binding ElementName=Canvas,Path=ActualHeight, Converter={StaticResource ScalePropertyValueD}, ConverterParameter=FontSize;30;720}" >
	<TextBlock.RenderTransform>
		<TransformGroup>
			<RotateTransform Angle="0" />
			<ScaleTransform ScaleX="1" ScaleY="1" />
			<SkewTransform  AngleX="0" AngleY="0" />
		</TransformGroup>
	</TextBlock.RenderTransform>
	<TextBlock.Effect>
		<DropShadowEffect BlurRadius="0" Color="Black" Direction="300" Opacity="1" ShadowDepth="{Binding ElementName=Canvas,Path=ActualHeight, Converter={StaticResource ScalePropertyValueD}, ConverterParameter=H;3;720}" RenderingBias="Quality" />
	</TextBlock.Effect>
</TextBlock>

It's the same logic that's throughout the XAML - it's just it didn't need to be repeated everywhere.

If you compare mine with the original (both attached in my earlier post), I will become more obvious.

Thanks i'll check it out tomorrow. I'm not sure how id implement that into CTC though but i'll have a go.

I can't seem to align the text/frame/grid or whatever's controlling it to the right and make it expand to the left, it always goes left to right as shown in your pic. Creating margins and padding just pushes the whole lot off the screen as well. Maybe @faeran can help me with this?

Normally, this is caused by it being wrapped in a parent element that doesn't adhere to alignment properties. If you need more help, send me a PM.
