@C-Beats, @Rincewind, @Mr. RetroLust thank you for the help. I have done all of the things that you suggested and I still have the error popping up. I did have to unblock the zip file but that seems not to have solved the issue after uninstalling and updating to Launchbox 11.7 beta. Any other suggestions would be welcome. @Nineball I just saw your post and turns out I am using an external. I will try your suggestion and let everyone know if it works. Thank you.

Huge THANK YOU to @Nineball for the help. Changed from exFAT to NTFS and that fixed it. Thanks to everyone who helped me on this. You guys are great!

Wonderful theme ! It's on my arcade cabinet.

But i have a question : is it possible to change the number of platforms displayed at the same time  and the size of the clear logo ? (i use Plateform Wheel 3 and vertical wheel 1 views)

Glad you like, thanks  It's not possible to show more than one platform at a time but you can make playlists that contain multiple platforms or use the "all games" feature in Big Box but I'm not sure if that's what you're asking. What do you mean by the size of the clear logo?

i mean, on the plateform wheel, i'd like to show only 5 plateforms at a time (right now i think i have  9 displayed) and have bigger plateform logo.    

I admit i have a little crush in Batocera default wheel  theme which have lesser platform but bigger plateform logo with a fade effect^^ -> screenshot attached )

I'll see what I can do upcoming week, which version of the theme do you use, the regular one or alt views?

i use the regular one with Vertical Wheel 1.

i tried to open it with Community  Theme Créator, just in case i could modify this by myself, but nothing showed up in the software

The Community Theme Creator generates xaml files but it does not open them it uses it's own template files. You can open xaml files with a notepad editor, notepad++ is great. I'm not at the pc atm but maybe you can figure it out for yourself in the mean time, if not i'll help out upcoming days.

haaaaa... i thought it was just a GUI  that could handle any theme...

Well i have to admit i suck at coding. My knowledge are limited to the Microsoft MSX Basic and Amiga AMOS  That doesn't make me any good at Xaml ^^

Well then you know more about coding than me man lol xaml is pretty easy to understand, that is the parameters for the wheels are quite straight forward.

@Elhora Go to Launchbox\Themes\Neon Deluxe Arcade Final\Views > Open the xaml file you want to edit in a notepad editor and search for "FlowControl" and then change the parameter "VisibleCount="16" to a lower number. Sadly it's not possible to change the size of the logo's with these parameters it requires me to change the theme which is too much work.

thank you  i'll do this right away ^^

Wow I'm impressed 

This is a great looking theme.  I found an issue, though.  When using platform view "Text list with details", it displays a section for Favorites and a section for Recently played.  I noticed the two sections are swapped, meaning that my favorite games are shown in Recent and the recent games are shown in Favorites.  How can I fix this?

Also a side question, is it possible to use the other platform wheel list without the list fading out?

Thanks Oh thats weird, I'll look into it when I've got some time.

There's two versions of the theme, the regular one has fading wheels and the alt views version has fixed wheels.

I have tested out your issue but I can't replicate it, it shows up as it should over here. Also in the code it is correct so something is wrong at your end i'm afraid, maybe reinstall the theme?

I see mention of a 12 hour version, but I'm not able to find any setting or file for this, unless I'm blind as hell.  How do I switch it to 12 hour time?

I stopped making this version as it was too much work to keep maintaining it as well.

Ah ok.  Well now I don't have to go crazy trying to find the file/setting.  Amazing theme by the way!  I use this plus the Hyperspin soundpack and Nostalgia 4:3 videos.  It looks so good.

Edit: be sure you have device images in their correct image folders. Platform view 2 should display them.

OK. I have No Images in there. Can i use anything or do you have a package?

Thx for Help
