New Simple Bigbox Option (Marquee)

[Kenny B]

I’ve started to play with second monitor option on bigbox. I noticed it’s confined to banner image only.
Which is okay for some use cases, however I want to customize or choose what gets displayed on the second monitor.
For examples. Fighting games I want to show the controls, or maybe the Machine image instead of the banner.
Better yet maybe allow a choice of a custom view. So content creators can create a view for the second screen like videos and animations. I just at least requesting that the global option not to be hardcoded to banner only, give other choices.

The marquee screen is customizable to content creators like any other view in BigBox is. The view just needs to be coded. Below are a couple examples what can be done. You do need to know some very basic coding and edit or create a PlatformMarqueeView.xml and/or GameMarqueeView.xml for the theme you are using or creating.

As far as the current coding, yes platform images are set to the banner image folder and then game level images are set to the Arcade-Marquee image folder. After that it will default to your Box - Front image priorities. Updates to the marquee support should eventually be coming. It has been discussed and just missed out on the last poll.

Our forum would be the best place to be if you want to edit your own marquee view. Lots of helpful information and members there.

Add “Marquee” to title for clarification.
