[Bigbox] Details Screen on Marquee Screen and Auto Screen Marquee

Issue #1793 new

I do know that if I put bigbox on the 2nd screen and start a game, the game starts on the default screen of course which is cool and bigbox stays open on the 2nd screen. there's no prob with it, but if it can auto turn into the details screen (in place of the marquee screen and togglable from marquee to details via a customizable button from the gamepad) during the game when on wheel mode, that would be very cool. And when the game shuts down, it'll go back to wheel view. Would be cool if this could also happen vice versa. And if no game is playing and you are on 2 monitors, the details screen would auto appear on the screen that bigbox isn't on and during this, the button to show the details screen would be disabled. Kinda like a 3DS. And if no 2nd monitor is detected, it goes as normal.

Also, an automatic option for the marquee screen I would like to request. the specific screens for this option is only useful for more than 2 screen. But if one just has 2 screens, the auto option would automatically place the marquee screen on the screen that bigbox is not on. And if the 2nd monitor is not connected or not on, no marquee screen will be drawn.

A perfect usage for the details screen on the marquee screen is that you would be able to push a gamepad button to go down to the marquee screen so that you could open up a guide from a pdf from the options. Every option that would go back to any of bigbox would be disabled and every option to relaunch the game would also be disabled. Disabled unless the game isn't running anymore. But if the game is still running, only a few options will show on the details screen. This would prevent running the game twice.

Would also be a cool way of switching discs without interruption if emu supports that.

But if there is no 2nd screen detected or on, that marquee/details screen will not draw and will act as the normal bigbox on a single screen would. But if there is a 2nd screen, remember to disable the button that the details screen is mapped to so that you won't have 2 details screens being drawn on both monitors.
