Sorry. You will have to wait a long time unless you fix it yourself with the CTC-files I have provided or just use another platform view.

np - it is not a showstopper issue. I will see if I can delete the additional action which calls the video for my personal use with the CTC.
THX! :)

I have created a Game Boy Pocket Playlist. But there is no Icon and no Clear Logo in the Platform View. When i create a platform for Game Boy Pocket then the logo and image are visible. But i dont want do import all games again. Is it possible to show the platform images on playlists?

I love this theme, but is there any way to shorten the spaces between games, consoles, etc?

I've noticed that there seems to be a small issue, if i change menus at the wrong time and inturrupt the fade transition for the background images, Launchbox will freeze. I posted a thread in troubleshooting about it too, with a video and copy of the Launchbox directory. I was only able to recreate it with the Pulse theme.

I struggled to find a good png of the Playstation 4 so I will leave these here for anyone who wants to add the PS4 to this theme.

Console goes into; Themes > Pulse > Images > Platforms > Device
Logo goes into Clear Logo. Make sure both images are named Sony Playstation 4

Don't forget to reset image cache inside of big box when you add new images.

Hi, I'm having a minor issue with this on some platforms.

I normally use Horizontal View 1, which displays a horizontal list of games at the bottom with a 3D box image illustrating each game. On some systems like Arcade, Cave, and Atomiswave, the clear logos appear at the bottom instead of the 3D boxes.

This issue seems to only occur on Arcade-related systems.

Is there a way to get the 3D boxes to appear in Horizontal View 1 for these systems?

Thanks.

Beautiful theme and is my main since i discover it!

Just one question: i wanna free some space on my system, what Media should i scrap for my games to use with this skin? For example, this didnt use custom music or videos, so i can delete that.

You could the Media Cleanup Utility for this task. You can read more about it the below link from the LaunchBox Featurebase:

But i need to know what Media this Theme uses, so i can clean up all the rest thats not shown.

Per the writeup, one of the things the utility says it does is:

  Quote

[...] remove [...] Media files that are not being used by your current themes in either LaunchBox or Big Box.

Expand  

I took that to mean, if your Theme(s) doesn't use (aka ones 'not shown') a specific media type (image), it'll add those to the 'remove list'.

I could be misinterpreting that.
