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?

Thanks, but unfortunately it didn't work. 😕 Is there any way to know where the style comes from? I believe the font size control is being handled by some other file. -
Yeah! The controls are there. I can change the color and font. But unfortunately I couldn't change the font size. Adding the values has no effect. Any tips?

@Rincewind , I'm messing with the configuration files here. 🤠I managed to change some things. I didn't find in the .xml any information that controls the FAVORITES word, at the top of the screen. Can you tell me where the controls are for it?

Thanks for your attention @Rincewind ! Please don't give up on this theme. If you can get it to CTC, you'll be able to change a lot of things and give it a very long lifespan.

Hey @Rincewind . I love this Theme! This is still one of the most beautiful and responsive themes we have in the LaunchBox community. It deserve to be improved, more video resolution compatibility and more support. Is this theme still open for improvement? At first, I have a problem with overlapping items. Can you help me by telling me how to adjust this: Here the scrolling text should be delimited and not rise from the outer edge. I also think the video could be centered with the text below. It would look better if it had rounded corners. Also, it wouldn't be bad to be able to disable the video and have the plattform banner centered in its place. How could I do this? Thank you very much in advance !

New BigBox themes vs Arcade Games poor performance!
soqueroeu replied to soqueroeu's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
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.

Configuration file along with each theme. It's possible?
soqueroeu replied to soqueroeu's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
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. -
Configuration file along with each theme. It's possible?
soqueroeu replied to soqueroeu's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
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?

We need support. Text list view is broken: System icons overlay the banner. That's right ? Gameplay videos do not play on first pass through game list. Only audio is played : Need to advance to the play screen and go back one level to get the audio and video running proper: Wall View 4 is empty: Also, browsing through arcade lists is impossible. Each pick takes approximately 3 seconds to move selector. -
This looks interesting huh? Let's try!!
-
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?
-
In fact, it's not an issue with the theme, but the lack of fanart images for many games reduces the experience. -
I think these latest possible themes with new Launchbox features are really cool. I'm just sad they only look nice with fanart images, but unfortunately most games don't have such images. Using box art ends up polluting the result, along with clean logos.

reflection lights SOQUEROEU TV Backgrounds

Exactly @rancid! Thanks for informing! With Mega Bezel Shader updates, the Soqueroeu pack may not work as expected. That's because the names and structure of the presets changed. I plan to update this preset pack to be compatible with new versions of HSM Shader Pack. I'm also finalizing version 2.0 of the package, with all the backgrounds reworked. -
reflection lights SOQUEROEU TV Backgrounds
soqueroeu commented on soqueroeu's file in Platform Bezels/Overlays
@Azgorath , thanks for reporting this! The Atari 2600 system is one of the few that fluctuates during shader execution. This can happen because the shader tries to scale the resolution automatically. Normally this is fixed when we set the screen format to 4x3 by shader parameters, instead of keeping it on auto. But it's still not a definitive solution. The shader creator is working on improved versions of the package. I encourage you to appreciate the work of HSM. Meanwhile, I'm working on fixes and at some point I might release an update, ok? Thanks again!
