One thing I am seeing that is an issue is in the manage startup and pause themes in the settings. You have to apply them twice to take effect. And you cannot just apply them back to back twice. You have to exit out of the menu and back to the platforms view and then go back into the settings and apply it again for the second time to take effect. This does not effect the manage themes as it takes effect right away, Only the manage startup and manage pause themes. If you go into the options and then to game startup or game pause and change it that way it takes immediate effect.

Good luck on all your future endeavors, its been great having you here and we appreciate all you have done for LaunchBox and the community. Always do what is best for you and your family. Take care!

See this post also. Sadly there is still no solution. It only happened with BigBox for me. I had to end up removing mine from my cabinet if I wanted to still use BigBox as it drove me crazy. It is a real shame since as they are really nice joysticks. If this issue ever gets resolved I will definitely install them back in my cabinet.

Well if the issue has been fixed, it is still not working correctly. I am still getting the same issue with beta 2. I still did not get a notification to update to beta 2 as I had to check for updates manually. It is not a big deal, just wanted to report what I am seeing.

I think there is something wrong with this newest beta update. My update did not prompt a notification to download when I opened LaunchBox. I had to check for this new beta update manually even though I have check for updates upon startup and update to beta releases turn on in the options. I have never seen that happen before.

@Shredder_guitar That site that you posted is for themes that has been tested for a while and is for the themes manager interface. It is recommended to upload the theme to the forums first for some public testing before uploading to that site. Since it is a startup theme you can upload it here and click in the red box that says "Submit a file" https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/category/31-startup-themes/ Also there is plenty of action going on in the LaunchBox community as the developers are always adding new features and fixing bugs.

Looking great! Looking forward to trying it out. One of the all time great themes in BigBox.

Interesting, are you using Windows 10 or 11?

The VLC and WMP settings in LaunchBox and Bigbox are 2 different settings and one does not affect the other. In order to change to WMP in BigBox you have to change it in the BigBox settings and vice versa if you wanted to change to a different media player in LaunchBox you have to change it in the LaunchBox settings.

Just curious, did you exit out of BigBox after changing to WMP? Then tested again after a BigBox restart and was having the same locking up issue? I have read elsewhere to shutdown BigBox after changing the media player and restart.

Can confirm the issue that @TheNewClassics and @Rlad is having up above with every theme I have tried with no options showing up in the game details screen.

Are you using VLC for your media player in BigBox? Try changing the media player to Window Media Player and I bet it solves your problem. I have the same problem along with other users and switching to WMP fixed the problem.

I tested out the new beta with the VLC updates with the default theme but unfortunately BigBox is still freezing/locking up while in attract mode with VLC but not WMP. Not sure if the other testers are having the same results or not but just wanted to report in.

I have determined that my freezing/locking up issues while in attract mode is VLC. I know VLC is the recommended one to use but I have been using WMP for over 24 hours without any issues where as while using VLC BigBox would freeze within a couple of hours.

I am getting the same issue as well that @Fursphere mentioned about BigBox freezing/locking up while in attract mode in the 13.9 betas. I have not narrowed it down yet if it is theme specific or something involving the ThirdScreen marquee plugin. I did not have an issue before 13.9. I'm gonna try to do more testing however.
