You can't do most of what you're looking to do with the Wall View. Those options just aren't exposed to theme creators. If you look at the Documentation PDF included in the Themes folder of LaunchBox, you'll see the options that *are* available. Things like height and width of the component, scale of the game boxes, scale of the selected game box, spacing of the game boxes, etc. You *will* be able to specify a border color for the selected game as you wanted to. Let me know if you have trouble finding the xaml for it and I can look it up later. The Wall View is not as customizable as you're looking for it to be unfortunately. I just don't think it gets used very much.

Let me know if you need any. I've got a bunch.

By popular demand, this is now done! Please see the latest version of WoodPanels on the site. Tons of other changes too.

Hi everyone please fill out this brief survey which will help inform me of whether or not to include support for cart images (certain platforms only) in the next major version: https://form.responster.com/4urxVf Edit: Closed! The people have spoken, and this has been done. Please see the latest version.

@y2guru Yeah I was hoping to avoid telling theme users to have to do that. This is why I am asking to have the option within the theme creation to override the LaunchBox user settings for fallback images.

So for a brief portion of a second you can see the fallback image there, before the LaunchBox settings take over and load the fallback there (box art in my case)

So I've rebuilt most of the theme in the community theme creator (which is, incidentally, pretty sweet). That said...it's not working for this situation. I imported a game to my library that has no cart image. I specified the below in my theme, where you can see the placeholder image for this specific game in the editor... And yet when I look at this game in BigBox, it's still being overridden by the fallback settings in LaunchBox: This doesn't seem to work when you put these images in a theme folder.

Me: takes deep breath OK I will try it when I have some time!

I figured you'd say that 😉 - I finished my first cut of the theme juuust before you released the tool. I am afraid that I'd have to start over from scratch though if I switch now... 😬 so it's a last resort for me with this theme. I'll definitely start with it if I make another theme though.

I can dig it! I put in a request to specify a default fallback image, so we'll see! EDIT: Getting lots of responses from my request; turns out it may be possible so stay tuned as I try some suggestions out.

Hey all, not sure if this is the right place for this or not, but I have a request to add a feature for theme creators. @Jason Carr I need the ability to specify a fallback/default game art image if none exists, overriding the settings in LaunchBox for fallback images. Here's why in my specific scenario. I would love to be able to show the actual game cart image showing up in certain consoles for my theme, which works well right now assuming you have cart images. I ran a test using N64 for example: That said, I need to be able to specify a fallback generic cartridge to show, otherwise it'll fallback to whatever the user's specified in LaunchBox, which looks...bad. In my case for instance if I'm missing a game cart image it falls back to a box image: Please consider adding this ability in a future version of LaunchBox. Thank you and please let me know if I should move this request somewhere else.
