How to - Create a Theme - Adding Platform and Game Information

[@garym76]

Would you know why I can publish custom Game views but when I try to publish a custom PlatformWheel view it does not show in Big Box? I copied my config for PlatformWheel1FilterView into 2, 3 and 4 and then published to Big Box. Once in BB, I can switch to every platform view and none of them show my theme. I'm using 3.1.5

No idea based on what you are describing, creating or copy/pasting into a platform view will publish and run just fine for any version 3.1.5 and lower

I just downloaded this 3.2.4 and my platform views are pretty much blank, the rest as everything else. It does not help newbies when you have things that we do not have. I cannot even work out how to add a background let alone anything else. It is easy for you, but you have people like me that are idiots and we need the basics.

@@communitythemecreator I decided to throw £3.60 at you for Christmas. I can do a lot more than I could yesterday. I did find the start of the tutorial, but really you need to create playlists and have things separated it makes it so much easier for idiots like myself. A lot that I have not worked out, such as custom images, I want all the graphics to be from the theme directory, but it is defaulting to LB folders. I am also trying to do an arcade wall, so I use cabinets and have marquee, video and when scrolling it moves with the cabinet rather than staying on screen and reloading when a new cabinet goes there. I am playing with different views, basic ones just to get a grasp of what to do. I shall see if I can find what I need to know via the video.
