Confirming issue still present in the 13.12 update

Confirming issue still present in the 13.11 update

Some extra information on this issue, I run this from an SSD, but I have a cloned backup on a old / slow external HDD, running from the HDD the headings are visible, running off the SSD they are not.

Yea that will bring it back, but if I close and reopen launchbox it'll be gone again launchbox.mp4 Edit - just confirming this is still the case with the new 13.10 update

Was there ever a fix for this? It's been an issue for me for a long time now and happens like 90% of the time I open the program.

Did the default theme change in this update, im using a modified default theme from the previous version, do I need to reapply the edits to get any fixes or ok to keep using the old theme?

New theme seems nice, i'll probably swap to default and enjoy some of the new UI additions. The only thing standing out to me at the moment is the dynamic scaling of elements in the details bar, I like a large game video preview but the title and play button get huge, personally i'd like to clamp the max size of those elements. Poked around and made some edits, it does feel like the those elements were a bit disproportionate compared to the rest of the UI in this arrangement, a before and after.

A minor thing I noticed, the search text alignment seems a bit off

Nice, been holding onto the old lambda theme for ages but would like to get some of the newer functionality on offer One other question, is there an easy way to add a slight indent back into the side bar on expanded categories? I find it quite hard to visualise when everything is perfectly in line, attempted a few trial and error edits to the xaml but didn't have any luck edit - turned out I needed to close and reopen before that edit applied

Is it possible to have the Platform Details View show the platform video instead of the image?

Took a bunch of screenshots

With the new platform categories option enabled I can't see a way to modify the emulator settings for arcade, it looks like it just considers arcade as a category so you miss the subscreen where you would normally be able to access this. Is there a way to get to this without disabling categories?

Same question, picked this up for android but can't setup switch, some games work great so not just a tech demo at this point. Currently have all this setup in another front end and would like to be able to move over to this.

Yea removing the xml sorted out, thanks

I'm not completely sure how long it has been this way but I recently went to mess around with my Amiga games and noticed a lot of the games were saying the files were missing, I ran a scan for new / removed files and it seemed to clean up the list, but every time I closed and reopened Launchbox the game list would revert to the old list of incorrect games. I have tried just deleting all the games in the list and scanning again and it reverts back to this old list every time I relaunch. I'm not sure if something has corrupted and won't save the changes properly, but how would I go about fixing this? As a test I created a new platform with a new name, that links to the same rom folder and this doesn't revert when launching, but I would like to have the correctly named platform working again.

the functionality was added after this post, i dunno if theres a way to mark as thread solved

My mistake on the video thing, I had been messing with some different views and got mixed up, sorry about that

Im using the pulse theme at the moment, and the open menu bind is on keyboard, sometimes when it happens it seems to trigger the sfx a bunch of times all at once when it misbehaves.

Hi, so I just updated, gone from 11.12 to 11.14, my platform videos no longer seem to be working in bigbox, is there a setting that needs changing for this update? Also I have assigned a button to open system menu and found sometimes when I use it, it will get stuck in the menu, so escape doesn't return to the game list, maybe like 20% of the time I use it and is there any way to reduce the time for the press and hold delay to open system menu, its a nice option but its surprisingly long delay at the moment

I think this is all you'd need for my edit, i've kept the folder structure so should just drop over the top. Pulse Edits.zip

Not something I was specifically planning to upload as it is a bodged personal edit, I wasn't actually aware their was a proper theme editor so just did some trial and error in notepad, but my layout isn't actually a million miles off your last mock up, The text description area is a bit bigger than it was, and I moved the image to the side but it's set to title screen rather than the box, I did debate trying to get the box art under the title screen but I just don't know enough to add new elements, my main focus was on making the video preview larger and tweaked a few bits to work around that. But If you aren't having any luck with an edit then i'm happy to share the file if it helps

It turns out it supports zips so I can unify the launch command going the zip route, bit of a bodge but it works
