    Hello @djweevil666 Sorry, I'm not very present on the forum and I only see your question now. First of all, you need to have faeran's VisioN theme installed. Then, there are two possibilities. The simplest: In LaunchBox, via the “edit” menu of the playlist (or platform or platform category), use the right-hand pane (+) to add the desired image, identifying it as “fanart” and the logo as “clear logo”. This works very well, but the fanart will also be used for other themes, if you use others, and the dimensions are not necessarily suitable. And if you have several fanarts for the same playlist, they'll be chosen randomly in BigBox, and personally, I don't like the effect when scrolling. On the other hand, this is the method I use for logos. The other method, the one I use, is to copy the fanarts you're interested in directly into Launchbox's “LaunchBox\Themes\VisioN\Images\Playlists\Fanart” folder, making sure to rename the files so that they have exactly the same name as your playlists. Ditto for platforms or platform categories by choosing these sub-folders in “LaunchBox\Themes\VisioN\Images”. This also works for logos, if you want a finer customization, depending on the theme you're using. Any fanart or logos you place in these folders will automatically be imposed and the theme will use them instead of those you might have added using the first method. The fanarts can of course be used for other themes, but they are specifically cropped for the “platform wheel 1” display of faeran's VisioN theme on a 16/9 screen. In short, you can use logos and fanarts with any playlist (however you created it and whatever its content), platform or category of platforms, provided you either use the first method to import fanarts and logos, or match names and folders if you use the second. There you have it, I hope this answer helps, and I apologize again for the late reply.

    Thank you! I must admit that it took me quite a while to put it all together! It would just be a shame not to share it with the community. Glad you like it, unstopable1955 ! 😉

    I love this theme, which has become my main theme since it came out. Many thanks for this incredible work, @faeran ! For those who might be interested, I've just uploaded to the “playlist backgrounds” section a huge number of images I use to customize the theme (250 game collections, some arcade game styles and new illustrations for platforms and platform categories).

    Backgrounds for playlists (303+), platforms and platform categories for faeran's VisioN theme View File Here are the backgrounds I used to customize @faeran's beautiful VisioN theme ! It mainly features backgrounds for playlists, but also a few for platforms and platform categories. Most of the backgrounds relate to 304 game collections. Some are taken directly from faeran's theme, but the vast majority are new, with the occasional alternative version (file name followed by one or more +), and as far as possible directly related to the games in question. All are cropped for the “platform wheel 1” display of faeran's VisioN theme on a 16/9 screen (once again, thanks to him for his themes and this one in particular) . The backgrounds are not, for the most part, in 4k but are of sufficient quality for this type of display. The preview screenshots show them and the logos I used with the theme (screenshots on 16/9 4K screen, unretouched). I've also added the corresponding logos to the archive. What's inside : 689 backgrounds + 390 logos ! - 584 playlist backgrounds grouped into 304 game collections and 19 arcade playlists + 323 logos - 84 platform backgrounds for 58 platforms + 58 logos - 21 category backgrounds for 9 categories (in the broadest sense, also includes "Favorite Games", "Recently Played"...) + 9 logos I hope you'll like it ! All platform logos are from @RetroHumanoid's Refried Theme Platform Logo Set, as well as a few logos for the collections. Some platform category logos also come from his Retro Neon Platform Category Logo Set. I hope he doesn't mind. If he wishes, I can of course remove the logos concerned from the archive, which is simply a copy of the custom theme I use. Also a big thank you to him for his work !

    Thanks Rlad! I've actually used ScreenScraper quite a bit to download images and videos. And sometimes naming can be a problem. It's annoying, but I understand. I'll just have to spend a bit of time fixing it...

    Hello ZeusMP, Yes, I've had the same problem since upgrading to version 13.13. I have a library of just over 10,000 games, emulation only. Of these 10000 games, images and videos are missing for just over a hundred of them. When I switch back to 13.12, the associations of these images and videos, whose files are still present on the disk, are re-established and they spontaneously reappear in LaunchBox or BigBox. Clearly, at my level, the update has caused this problem, both on my desktop PC and on my Legion GO.

    The latest update seems to have fixed the problem for me! Thanks for your help!

    Hi Faeran. I'm using VLC and I just tested with Windows Media Player. No change for me, the problem is still there. Thanks for your help and also for your work. I'm a big fan of your themes!

    Hi guys! Exactly the same problem for me... No update has fixed the problem so far.
