About This File
#01. Description:
BigCouch was designed for use on big TV screen. A clear and clean interface to navigate easily in your games and platform.
Seems to be a display bug for the video alignment for few users on PlatformView 2 . It's random and it sounds like a bug in the video engine.
CriticalCid has bypassed the problem by fixing the placement of the video for the 16x9 screens.
If you have an alignment problem, try its patch. Available next to the theme.
Thank you !
