A Way to Create in the BigBox Themes to have "Genre" (not Platform") be Wheel 1?

[fitzman45]

I love the BigBox Unified & Ultrawide theme.  Is there a way to have Wheel 1 be Genre and not Platform? I want my setup to be by Genre like Racing or Flying or Fighting or whatever.  Currently my Unified & Ultrawide theme has Wheel 1 by Platform.  Does anyone know a way to change it to Genre, because I can't figure it out!

Thanks!

In Big Box it's Options > Views > Default Startup View. Set it to Genre

Hey C-Beats.  I tried that, but I lose the "Wheel" that I like.  Here is a photo of Unified & Ultrawide that I have now with Platforms as Wheel 1.  And then I go in and change the Default Setup View to Genre, I lose the Wheel and just have a list of the Genres down the left side.  What I really want is the same look of the Unified & Ultrawide with Wheel 1 as Genre.

Ah yeah, Genre isn't an object that can have artwork applied, we are just reading the string applied to the game. You can set up your Platform Category tree to work that way and start the app into that. It requires more manual effort to get to that point but would allow it. I currently have a by genre section in mine doing that. I don't do JUST genre and have a way to get to it on the main wheel so I can navigate more traditional ways if desired. That tree is extremely customizable so ultimately should be able to get to the point you want, just won't be as fast and simple as pushing a single button.
