BigBox platform view theme question

[Fursphere]

I hope this is the right place to ask this. 

I'm using the Unified Redux theme in BigBox on most of my cabs.    My only compliant is that I'd like the platform theme to be the same "in" the platform (where the games are) and at the top level where you scroll through various 'platforms".  (I hope that makes sense).   I really do not like the full screen platform thematic videos you can download because they are a static list of repeating games, and may include games that I don't even have in my collection. 

So having the "in" platform view where it says what platform it is (aka - SNES) then in the video window box - it'll just pull random videos from games that are in my SNES collection. 

Is that possible? 

This view at the platforms wheel:  (and not show the box)

Not entirely sure what you mean. You just want game videos to from your library to show in platform view? If you could create a little mockup in paint or GIMP that shows what you're trying for that may be beneficial.

So..  my 'platforms' view just shows random videos from that platform full screen.     I would like it to mirror the view when you enter the platform (screenshot above is IN the SNES platform).  

Instead of this:

 

To something like this (please forgive my horrible ms paint skills).

Yeah, you can do that, you'd just have to alter the theme view. I'd first check to see if that theme doesn't already have a view that looks like it (or close to it) first and then work from the one that is closest to what you want.

Unified and Unified Redux have no "system" theme (is that what the top level Platform view is called?).   It just plays videos full screen and shows the platforms wheel. 

I tried the Community Theme Creation tool (evaluation - haven't decided if I want to pay for it yet) and couldn't make heads or tails out of how to find the "top level platform" view (system view?).   Nothing lined up.   Maybe its a limitation of the evaluation version, I dunno. 

At least I know its possible - not I just need to figure out how to do it.  I know a tiny bit about XAML, so I guess I need to just dive in now.

If you're referring to the view files in a theme System view is the view that appears when you press back from the Platform view. The view that shows what platforms you have in a wheel is PlatformWheel#FiltersView (where the # is numbered 1-4). And yeah, for any theme not built in CTC you'd need to manually alter the XAML file
