In Launchbox I have R2 and L2 mapped as the zoom in and out buttons for viewing manuals and stuff. Only problem there is that those button mappings also change the box sizes in Launchbox which is annoying cos it's easy to catch it accidentally. Especially when someone else is using the setup and they randomly press buttons, when I come back to it the box art looks all effed up. I disabled L1 and R1 toggling the side bar and game details panels for the same reason. So far it seems the only solution is to unmap the zoom in buttons altogether, but then I can't properly navigate the manuals or whatever else may require a zoom feature in Launchbox. Is there a way to disable zoom in and out maps from affecting the box art sizes without affecting everything else? It's a small issue but a noticable one. Thanks in advance.

Yeah mate I'm pretty sure it's that i'm using old Colourful cos I prefer the animations. I like the new games lists better but the platform catogories I prefer on the old colourful. Is there any way to mix and match? Thanks.

Never mind, I know why. I'm using the old version of coluorful theme which hasn't integrated the new on screen keyboard.

Whenever I try to search for a game a glitchy keyboard fills the screen with tiny letters and you can't navigate it. Think it might be broken?

Hi, I've changed harddrives recently and in the process I managed to lose a few files along the way. One of them was a Mega Drive platform theme video like this one, except it had a remix of the Flying Battery Zone music from Sonic & Knuckles, I've looked all over for it but I can't seem to find it. Does anyone still have it on their setup? If so do you think you could link it to me somehow? It would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I reinstalled Launchbox and it works now. But if it happens again I'll be sure to screenshot the error log and report it. I'm thinking it's a virus of some sort. If so do you think I can still salvage my metadata and media if I reinstall windows?

All of a sudden the pause menu in LaunchBox and BigBox has stopped functioning properly. It actually launches when I press the PS button (what I've mapped as pause button), but none of the options work. It doesn't exit nor does it load or save a state on any emulator. And when in BigBox it crashes the app and brings up an error message. Also curiously enough my exit game mapping I have on my controller now doesn't work either. I mapped it as 'Share button + Triangle' on Dualshock 4 and now it doesn't exit the emulator. Worked without issue before. Its like Launchbox has stopped recognising hotkeys altogether. Also it doesn't crash LaunchBox (just nothing happens), but it crashes BigBox. A few anomalies have been happening with LaunchBox recently. Like a few xml files in the Data folder were corrupted for seemingly no reason at all. I had to re set up the settings. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

@faeran Here mate, sorry to bother you again. I'm just wondering, cos this theme for me is the best default LB theme, but I want to change a few things. Mainly the background colour/opacity and blur amount. Basically I want it to be less dark blue and more clear coloured so you can make out the fanart background colours better. I had the right colours in the old default theme so I basically just want it like that. Images below. Everything else is perfect really, but help there would be appreciated, thanks.

Nevermind I edited the "COLORFUL_Styles.xaml" and changed the colour codes for those platforms. For those who want to know which platforms I changed and what color codes match perfectly with the platform videos, here: <SolidColorBrush x:Key="Commodore 64" Color="#115BAE"/> <SolidColorBrush x:Key="GCE Vectrex" Color="#4F97D8"/> <SolidColorBrush x:Key="Microsoft MSX" Color="#4157C5"/> <SolidColorBrush x:Key="Microsoft MSX2" Color="#4157C5"/> <SolidColorBrush x:Key="Microsoft Windows" Color="#3AB1E0"/> <SolidColorBrush x:Key="NEC PC Engine" Color="#BB3F42"/>

it actually doesn't look too bad but since the other platforms are all uniform and matching i'd rather just change the colour for these few.

I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix the colours of the side bars for some of the platforms to match the videos? While most of the platforms are colour matched, the likes of Vectrex, PC Engine, C64 etc all have a green bar at the side instead of the colour of their platform video. Examples in the post. If you could tell me how to change the colours in the xaml files that would be awesome. Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot mate! You are a big help and your themes are fantastic.

This is great. I'm just wondering is there a way to remove the game background image from the Game Details panel? Also I want to increase the size of the display game count text, could you give me a hand there? Thanks.

Nevermind I fixed it. Turns out the site I got them from didn't have the latest versions.

Hi, I'm having a problem with some games in my Amiga setup on Launchbox recently. I have my Amiga games set up individually in Launchbox using FS-UAE and an application one of the LB community made called FS-UAE Exporter, which creates code ID's for each game that LaunchBox can boot. Up until recently this has been working fine, but then I started getting error messages with some games. First thing I did was download the latest WHDLoad versions of each affected game, as they weren't showing up in the FS-UAE Launcher itself so of course LaunchBox wouldn't boot them. I tried that and it worked for some of the games, but most were still not being shown on the FS-UAE Launcher, and so weren't booting through LB and getting the same error message. I'm not sure whats going on with it. Is this an issue some of you are getting? Some of the games that aren't working are: Another World Body Blows Cedric Chaos Engine 2 Dragon Spirit Fire & Ice James Pond Lemmings 2 Ruff n Tumble Shadow Of The Beast Syndacite Could any of you do me a favour and try one of these games through LaunchBox and see if they still work for you? If they do then I can only guess that you haven't recently updated the FS-UAE Database, and the old WHDLoad files still work for you. If that is indeed the problem of course. Thanks in advance.

Hi, does anyone know where to find High resolution Gameboy color and Original Gameboy box art? I can't for the life of me find a good collection anywhere. Theres the odd high resolution scan here and there but a lot of them are low res or messy in some way. I've got this OCD thing where I need each box art image to be at least 1080 pixels high because i'm a lunatic, but that's not even why I want these, I simply can't find good scans of these platforms at all. Any help in finding them would be appreciated. If you have some that you've sourced yourself maybe you could share them? I have some i've done myself too. Help eachother out etc. Thanks.

I included Date Added cos I use the "Arrange By" tab at the top of the screen that does it better.

Hi, I have been trying to tidy up my collection as much as possible and I have noticed that a lot of the categories on the side bar aren't used at all really (by me, atleast). Among these i've found are: -Complete -Date Added -Date Modified -Installed -Portable -Source You may use these categories but I was wondering if there's currently a way to sort it so that these don't show in the side bar of LaunchBox or the main menu of Big Box? Like a way to hide them? If not could you consider adding it? Thank you.

So is this the biggest collection anyone has on launchbox?

There are a few Game Gear cart images spread around my collection that are uniform and look like the images below. The other collection isn't as good but I was wondering who created these? And if there is a complete collection of these anywhere? Cheers.

Oh yeah thanks. That makes sense.

Just wondering because I am using the retrofresh theme and I want it as streamlined and quick to use as possible, so the ability to just play the game with one button press would be nice. But that seems to disable the functionality of rating and favoriting games, viewing videos in full screen etc. Is there a way to map those functions to a button on the controller while just hovering over the game?
