code change to ListBoxScrollCenterNS_04.dll

I'm getting the following error when trying to launch the newest version.    Anyone have any ideas on what is causing this?

did you unblock the .zip file before you unzipped ?

I sure did.... I even tried running a few of the older releases and was getting the same error.  I copied over Theme Creator 1.041 from another device and it appears that it opening up just fine, so I'm even more confused now.  I'll play around with it.   I'm running Win 7 Pro 64 if that makes any difference...

Are both devices running windows 7?

No, the machine I copied from is running Windows 10 Pro

Interesting ... so if you download onto your windows 10  Machine then unblock,, unzip and then copy to windows 7 it could work

I just setup Theme Creator for the first time and it is not pulling images for me.  I am just working with the Plain n Simple theme to get used to things.  When I select edit under games view and select the meta data type for box art none of those images are appearing for my games.   I tried several image types as well.  Game box front, game box 3d, etc..  I just get image not available on everything.  I do have images for all my games, I just pulled the meta data from LB database.  Is there a way for me to change the default location those images pull from, for the different image types?  Or do you have any suggestions on how I proceed with troubleshooting?  Thanks in advance!  A community theme creator is such a good idea!  Great work!

So... when the Plain n Simply Theme displays in the editor, are any of the images/videos being displayed?

 

The clear logo and system logo are working fine when I switch between games.  It looks like its mostly the game box options and screenshots that are not pulling for me.  Box options being 3D, front and back.  I am assuming its because of my naming or folder structure.

I have, for instance, my box front images in

"launchbox\images\Nintendo Entertainment System\Front\"
"launchbox\images\Nintendo Entertainment System\Front\North America\"

etc..

I am wondering if it needs to be named differently than "Front".  Although I never changed it from the default location for it.

 

 

This latest version 1.0.7.9 throws me the following error that is seen in the attached image. The previous versions of the Theme Creator work well for me, I'm using Windows 10 Pro and also unlock the .zip before unzipping it. I hope there is some solution to this problem.

excellent! and again, my apologies.

Hi @y2guru,

I have upgraded to version 1.0.7.9 from 1.0.7.7. It might be an issue with my computer, but it seems that the new version is struggling to display the themes (particularly the animations). Please, take a loot at the comparison videos below.

Any idea?

Version 1.0.7.7 (transitions are smooth)

Version 1.0.7.9 (transitions are definitely not smooth :))

PS. Thanks for this awesome piece of software!

Hello, new here and just tried running this for the first time. Win7 SP1 - 64x. I unblocked the zip and unzipped. Tried several times with same result. Also tried on my computer at work, it's also sp1 win7 64 and same error.
