Hello! I'm having the following problem, in the ''Horizontal CoverFlow 3D With Spin'' view mode when I select it, some covers are visible but the vast majority of covers are not visible, only a few are visible and this happens to me with many platforms, And it doesn't just stop there, but when I publish the theme in Big Box the same thing happens, some of the game covers can be seen but the vast majority cannot be viewed, at first I thought the problem was only with the app' 'Community Theme'' that did not show the covers correctly, but when publishing the theme in Big Box it turns out that they also cannot be displayed. I leave you a sample capture.

Images are cached (via bigbox) so when you run bigbox refresh your images

that popup is not yet supported in CTC.

why do you need to rotate UI 90°, thats typically set on your windows display settings

hi there, i need to rotate it as im using crt-emudriver to output the signal in 15khz on a crt - if i rotate the windows desktop, the mame-ui (needed for variouse slider like blitter delay etc..) will be rotated in a wrong direction.
As I´m only launching tate-stlye shmups on it, i physically setup my crt in tate mode (portrait) - windows is set to default mode and mame uses the -ror / autorotate switch so all games are beeing loaded with the correct resolution and timings via crt-emudriver.

I found no way to setup the ingame mame-UI to be non-rotated while the Tate-Games are beeing rotated, so I figured to use default mode for desktop and just rotate the mameui and games as needed.

seems like a lot of work when you can just rotate the windows display and have it set to portrait, but regardless .. you would have to pull each popup xaml file and apply a rotate render transform to each one

you just brought an idea to mind.... vertical.ini with rotate 0 might be the solution for me to use windows in portrait mode whith the vertical games not beeing rotated as already is and the ingame mame-UI staying in place. will test asap

hi, downloaded new 2.5.2, right clicked and unblocked zip, extracted zip, launched theme creator, filled in author and bigbox path and pressed ok then got this error.  I'm using 13.1 Beta 4. I have restarted the computer and downloaded the theme creator 2 times.  The theme creator folder is in the themes folder, on an external HD if that matters. (E:\LaunchBox\Themes\COMMUNITY Theme Creator 2.5.2) .   Any suggestions?

I wont have a fix for this until next weekend, but ... if you want to use 2.5.2 now then move the following playlists into another folder for the time being (they contain criteria thats causing my app to fail)

Thanks for version 2.5.3. I have played with it for a couple of hours tonight, unfortunately I'm still getting the issue with Sega Mega Drive images (game logos, screenshots etc) not showing in CTC but it's not a huge deal now really.

Just wondering, did anything change with the blur effect in 2.5.1? It's just since that version the performance seems to drop a huge amount in both CTC and BB. However, I  can tell the quality of the blur looks much higher, I can't see any of the banding that was visible before.

I still have the last few CTC versions from 2.3 on my PC and testing the same theme with a fullscreen blurred background is fine in 2.3 and 2.5, then performance drops in 2.5.1 onward.

Blur effect didnt change, but i noticed images were being rendered at a low performance so i changed that, so i assume you are a blurring an image.
