C-Beats Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 Omni View File "Omni" is a prefix meaning "all", in that regard this theme strives to do "all the things" in ONE theme! Omni has both a content view selector and game details selector that lets you choose the content view and details view that looks best to you. There are 15 different configurations to choose from! All of these settings are saved in a ThemeValues.xaml file that allows you to customize them EVEN MORE! NOTICE: Omni requires LaunchBox v13.6 or greater!

Drybonz Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 I've been using a slightly modified "Beats" for some time as my favorite theme. This one looks great, but I have one suggestion. The box with the titles, over the center overview box of game details seems like space that could be better used. What about removing that and enlarging the center overview box? Or maybe you had other future plans for the title box? Regardless, I think it is looking very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, this theme was a bit challenging regarding vert space because of that, but I do enjoy having it. I could probably look and see about adding a visible setting in the ThemeValues file that can be changed to turn it off/on 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 That's a good idea. Options are always the way to go. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted June 6, 2023 Author Share Posted June 6, 2023 Omni v1.1 has just been released! IMPORTANT: This version of Omni now requires LaunchBox 13.6 Beta 1 or newer! With this new version of Omni we begin to see the grand scheme of the theme come into view. Omni is the first LaunchBox theme ever to have THREE content views! In the upper right of the main view there is now a view selector that allows you to switch between the following views: Image View - Traditional LaunchBox Image View Details View - DataGrid List View (Traditional LaunchBox List View) List View - A dynamic list view that looks similar to Beats list view when space allows, but when shrunk looks like the List view I utilize in Airy/Steamy. Next version I'll start tackling GameDetails and making it work better with varying widths, as well as pop out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drybonz Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 This theme is looking really cool! I really like the list view. I'm wondering if it could be two columns wide, to use more of that space? Also... another humble suggestion. The platform sidebar uses a lot of empty space, especially if the user doesn't have icons on. I'm wondering if it's possible to set it's minimum width much smaller? This theme is really coming along... I think it's going to be my go-to theme. Nice work. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I would just hide the sidebar (Ctrl+S). If you need to navigate away press it again or use the combobox drop down that appears when you hide it. 24 minutes ago, Drybonz said: I'm wondering if it could be two columns wide, to use more of that space? Don't currently have any plans to do so, not sure if keyboard navigation would work doing something like that either. Could play with the panel used and see if you can get it on your own, but I have enough stuff yet to do that I wouldn't be able to look into it for a while.

C-Beats Posted July 6, 2023 Author Share Posted July 6, 2023 I just uploaded version 1.2 of Omni. This version adds 2 more game details layouts that change automatically as the size of the details panel increases. This brings the number of possible layouts to 12 in the theme. As with most settings in the theme if you want to tweak where the layouts change you can do so in the ThemeValues file. If you change a value in the file with LaunchBox open you will probably need to restart LaunchBox for all the settings to take hold. I've updated the screenshots on the theme to reflect most of the various layouts. PLEASE NOTE: This version requires 13.6 Beta 1 or newer to work! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakatsu Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 (edited) Great theme, been using this for a month and really like it, thank you! Just noticed one possible bug, "Arrange by" doesn't work in details and list view, it always defaults to A-Z no matter what you choose. Or is it just supposed to be that way, haven't really those two views before. Edit: Also in list view, when you select a random game with Ctrl+Alt+Q, would be nice if the list scrolled down/up to the chosen game. Now it just stays in one place, and doesn't move at all to focus to the chosen game like it does in image and details view.

C-Beats Posted July 7, 2023 Author Share Posted July 7, 2023 Thanks for the bug reports. I'll take a look into it and see why it isn't working and what I can do to correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 I just updated Omni to 1.3 which adds the notification system introduced in 13.6 Beta 3. PLEASE NOTE: This version requires you be on LaunchBox v13.6 Beta 3 or newer to work! @Jakatsu This version does NOT address the bugs you've found. I have confirmed they exist but haven't gotten them corrected yet. I do plan to address them before 1.4. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denmiclaw Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 (edited) Thanks, really enjoying this theme. Is there any way to add an All Games clear logo, and or notes? My Edit/delete buttons are disabled under the right click menu for All. Thank you! Edited July 16, 2023 by denmiclaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted July 17, 2023 Author Share Posted July 17, 2023 For the default "All" sidebar value there is not. You can create your own "All Games" playlist manually and set that stuff there. Make sure it isn't named "All" though or you will run into issues with LaunchBox getting it confused with the default value in there.

C-Beats Posted July 22, 2023 Author Share Posted July 22, 2023 Omni was just updated to version 1.4 Changes in this version: Added a Game Details mode selector in the upper right that lets you choose what mode you would like to use Adds horizontal details layout Adds pop out details @Jakatsu The issue you found had to be resolved in code and so requires 13.6 beta 6 to see relief for that issue. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted July 24, 2023 Author Share Posted July 24, 2023 Updated Omni to 1.5. The plugin file I included was being needlessly picky about what version of LaunchBox you were running. I have also added Omni 1.5 to Themes Manager now that LaunchBox 13.6 is live! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Quick question, is it possible to display Additional Apps in this section of the pop out details menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't have any idea what to edit in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolarisSpell Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) This is turning out to be a pretty great theme. I'm trying lots of different themes trying to adjust them to what I would like my Launchbox to be. I have some feedback for Omni in case its useful. To better explain it, I have this screenshot: • The Platform filter and Search box overlaps. Can we edit the theme so that the Search box appears more to the right? • I've seen that the default theme has a play button with more options. Here, if I have different versions, hacks or just multiple CDs, I can't select what to launch • Can we move that line with favourite, star rating and completed? It's current position displaces the video snap and is cropped. If we could show that information at the top (over the clear logo) we would gain enough space to see the full video. • Also, I don't know if its possible, but can we force thre columns at the bottom? That way, we could see the full information. Right now play time, times played and release date are not shown unless you clieck to see the second page Thanks. Even if it's not feasible what I'm asking, it's a really nive theme. Great work Edited July 26, 2023 by SolarisSpell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted July 27, 2023 Author Share Posted July 27, 2023 @SolarisSpell I was debating doing the drop down on the play button. I could potentially make that an optional thing. I can take a look at the siderbar comboboxes to help with the sizing. Out of curiosity what size are you making the window? Your screenshot looks pretty cramped and figured I'd try to replicate on my end while working to see if I can smooth out the experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
