You can always change back to the theme you were using previously

The logos themselves are originally embedded in the app. I believe they are available in the downloads section of the website as well

Changing image type in the options should update that image, no need to alter the XAML Steam can be a bit annoying in that regard. What I would assume is happening is that you launch the game and it brings up Steams stupid "loading popup" and then in the time between when it closes and the actual game is launched Big Box is regaining focus and playing the video again, and then the game loads after and Big Box doesn't recognize that fact and doesn't stop the video. We've had similar issues in the past. I'll take a look and see if there is a solid work around while we look at correcting that potential issue.

All platform views have a binding called "PlaylistsOnly" that is true when you're in playlist view. You could use that binding to apply style triggers that affected the items visibility

You probably need to clear your image cache via Options

The document WAS updated, I just forgot we had a modified date at the top when I added my bits to it. You need to run Big Box once for it to appear, but after that you should see the change. The new doc is something like 16 pages longer than the old one so there definitely PLENTY of good stuff in there to be had. @bundangdon The behavior your looking for is listed on the last page of the doc

You can use any version of LaunchBox or Big Box that was released before you license expired for forever with a license purchase. I believe you're referring to what is called a bezel. Bezels CAN be downloaded from The Bezel Project within LaunchBox for use inside of RetroArch and MAME. You simply run the import or the Download Metadata and Media Wizard and as long as you are importing games using either emulator, or have selected any number of games using those emulators there will be a page asking if you'd like us to download bezels for those games for you.

LaunchBox already supports this. Click on a game in the grid so that the grid has keyboard focus and then start typing your navigation string and it will take you to the first item that starts with said string like you are describing.

Playing two videos at the same time requires use of FlowVideo control which I'm unsure CTC utilizes. If you're looking to make an exact copy for things like a reflection it's best to utilize a visual brush that points to the element to do so instead of playing an actual video. Both would require manually editing your theme XAML as far as I am aware.

@Phox can you confirm you're reported issue is corrected in this release?

I don't think there is any plans to add one to the final release, but modifying default to include one shouldn't be overly complicated. It's not entirely out of the realm of possibilities that we could add more views to Default down the line, but because of time restraints I'm not sure it will get in before this release.

Hmm, I don't remember having that view in Old Default. You mean the Horizontal Boxes view? Can you post up a screenshot of what you're referring to?

Nice catch. I'll see what we can do to correct that.

4GB of ram in 2022 is unrealistically low to ever have in a machine. You can easily have more than 4GB in art assets displayed at one time in a theme depending on the size of your artwork or what method the dev used to display the images. 16GB is the recommended amount of machines running Windows 10 or newer. 8GB WILL work, but you will definitely feel the machine come to a crawl when performing certain tasks (or trying to multitask too many applications)

What you're referring to sounds a LOT like our startup themes which can be themed (customized) to show whatever you want to show. You can turn these on in the Options menu of Big Box (or LaunchBox if you'd like to see them when launching from there as well).

I believe Faeran only made two wheels for the new default theme. I can review and make sure though. Are you implying you saw a new third wheel that you aren't now, or hoping a wheel style from Old Default for that view would be reimagined into the new Default theme?

Could you post any errors you are seeing in the beta thread so we can take a look into whatever error you're seeing and get it resolved before the final release?

To do this you would need to create a theme element plugin and intercept the key presses using the plugin to do what you were wanting. It definitely isn't any easy thing to do well, but is possible.

Any emulator that has command line arguments for opening the game can be used in LaunchBox (PC). You would just need to manual create the emulator entry for it.

I'd rerun the installer over your LaunchBox folder, sounds like a dependency is missing or corrupted. Some antiviruses have been falsely reporting 12.13 as a virus and quarantine files. Make sure you don't have a third party app doing something like that as well.

Thanks for the due diligence @JoeViking245. The reason this interacted badly has been corrected, but still good notes when dealing with plugin creation.

Yeah, Faeran and I have been working on that. Some of it may be because of rounding issues in the converters. We'll get it as close as we can before release.

Sounds related to an issue that's been corrected internally and will be in the next release.

Good news is as of this last beta push you don't need a plugin to get the centered text list functionality. We have a behavior you can attach to your ListBox that should do it for you.

What resolution and scaling are you running in this video? Your theme doesn't at all look like what's intended.
