All-in-One View Combining Platforms and Games in BigBox

📋Summary

Introduce a new hybrid view mode in BigBox that displays both platforms and games on a single screen. This layout would enable smoother navigation and unlock more dynamic and intuitive theme designs — for example, showcasing a platform wheel at the top and a game wheel or grid below it.


❗Problem

Currently, BigBox separates platform and game views, requiring users to transition between them. While this keeps navigation structured, it limits creative flexibility in theme design and slows down browsing for users who want to quickly jump between platforms and games.


💡Proposal

  • Add a new BigBox view type that displays:

    • A platform selector (e.g., horizontal wheel) at the top or side

    • A game selector (e.g., wheel or grid) for the currently selected platform directly below or beside it

  • Enable theme developers to design layouts where both are visible and interactive simultaneously

  • Maintain keyboard/controller navigation focus depending on user interaction


✅Benefits

  • Creates a faster, more fluid browsing experience

  • Allows users to see their entire collection at a glance

  • Unlocks new UI/UX designs and animation opportunities for theme creators

  • Reduces the number of navigation steps for casual users and improves usability for large collections 🎮🖥️🧩
