Forget folks. I reinstalled launchbox and Rincewind theme. That's what solved it ! 😒

Hi @Rincewind & all ! My Rincewind BB theme is ignoring xml config style (LaunchBox\Themes\Rincewind\Styles). With that, I have wrong font and menu selector.: I was sure about this when I temporarily removed the stile files in it's folder. The only .xml complained about was the UserControlStyle. Everything else Rincewind theme completely ignores. The failure only occurs with this theme. I have other themes installed and all run OK. I already reinstalled the theme, but it didn't work. Please, any help?

My Specs: Ryzen 3 2200G Nvidia GTX1050 16GB RAM 2400MHZ LaunchBox installed in SSD. I'll try to create a video showing the result at some point. It doesn't exactly seem to be a problem with images. Even populating the image cache I didn't notice any significant improvement. As I said, problem doesn't happen with console, handheld or PC game lists. But yes, just for arcade games, with the same bigbox theme. Older themes like the ones I mentioned earlier don't have the problem.

Thanks a lot guys! I think I managed to solve it with Link Shell Extension . I'm going to do some testing, but it seems to work. The tip here is not to link folders with generic content, such as videos and images to categories, because there are themes that don't allow you to manage these contents and need to be chosen directly from the Launchbox configs. This is precisely one of the things that overrides the settings of another installed theme.

I was wondering if there is a possibility of having multiple installations of LaunchBox on the same PC, with its own theme, however, sharing the same video and images folders. It would be perfect if a paid product like Launchbox had user profile support, but unfortunately we don't. The idea is to have only one Video folder and one Image folder, because together they consume a lot of GB space. I didn't want to have to duplicate these folders. The reason for this is that we can't resolve all image and video preferences and priorities conflicts between themes. So, if I can copy and paste the installation folder and create different shortcuts for executables, it would only be viable if I could to share and point to the same video and image files.

Since the arrival of CTC, many new themes are coming out more frequently. I'm one of the users who likes to have more than one theme and I like to switch between different BB and LB themes. I think Lauchbox developers should separate setup integration between LB and BB modes. In my opinion, what we do in LB mode, should stay in LB only. That's because we often have conflicting about preferences and priorities for images and videos between both modes. @Jason Carr and all LaunchBox Team! Has anyone ever thought of this? I'm not saying that the configuration editor for Big Box mode cannot exist via Windows, but if could be a separate configurator for each one, or one that allows you to choose which mode (LB or BB) the configuration would be applied to.

Most theme creators mention theme setup tips in their posts. These settings are usually what is expected of the user, for the theme to work as it was designed. Wouldn't it be nice to already have this configuration via file, instead of recommendation? I'm not saying that installing this configuration is mandatory. But being able to have a configuration file that does this would be really nice. Obviously, if there is a way to undo the settings, it would be even better.

But that's exactly what I was referring to. The configuration file brought in the theme would overwrite the entire user configuration and would be mandatory.

I was wondering if there is a possibility for all theme creators to make configuration files available to work with themes. These should be applied/installed after installing the theme (or together). This would make all the image and video preference and priority adjustments to get the theme exactly as it was designed. Does it exist?

I think there is some performance issue with these new BigBox themes and any arcade games lists. The problem is that switching between games takes about 3 seconds. I have no problems with old themes. It works just fine with BigCouch, CityHunter 2, Colorful and Defaut BigBox. Among the new ones I tested, the performance is poor with Pulse, Slipstream and Play Box 6. They all have the same problem navigating through arcade lists. Anyone else with this problem? Is there anything to do?

Anyone else with this problem? Arcade games are taking too long to scroll while browsing.

I'm referring exactly to the videos from platforms and collections, sorry! I think I was confused. I saw that all themes have a videos/platform folder. However, what we configure via LB Edit platform overrides the theme's video folder. That's right?

Is there a way to make each theme use its own unique video package? Having to make this choice only in "Windows mode" doesn't give us the alternative of having several themes installed, each one with the video that matches the theme. Themes video folders don't seem to work properly.

Forgive me for asking: I know this is volunteer work, but are people still working on the next Colorful theme version? What do you intend to deliver anyway?
