Hi, Wll Retroachievements be available again in Launchbox? Is there any alternative to the API?

Hola, ¿has averiguado cómo usar esta plantilla?

Thanks for the fast answer!

Since the last update of Launchbox (the addition of the auto-generated 3D boxes) I'd like to edit some views. Specially the games list view called "Horizontal Boxes with Details". Which XML file corresponds to that view?

Hi, I'm using Big Box 12.14. Is it possible to change the Steam achievements info language on the game details screen (the info shown once you select "View achievements" from the menu). In my case I would like to change it from English to Spanish. Thanks.

Ok, I think you are referring to this line: <transitions:TransitionPresenter Grid.Column="1" x:Name="MainImageBorder" TransitionSelector="{Binding ImageTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding ImageView}" VerticalAlignment="Top" /> I've tried to replace it by: <Image Source="{Binding Path=ActiveGame.FrontImagePath}" /> But it shows nothing (no image). I don't understand exactly when you say "When in Game Details you'd want to make that invisible" Sorry for being so noob. I really appreciate your help.

I replaced in ImageView.xaml: by But I keep watching the 3D cover in both screens: I only want to show the 2D front cover in the second screen. The first one is ok.

Ok, I'm trying to know how it works. I've not achieved to replace the 3D box for the 2D front box ONLY in this screen yet: But I managed to replace the trailer by an screenshot (which I was also interested because the same trailer also appears in the screen before). I've done this by replacing the following code in TextGamesView.xaml: <transitions:TransitionPresenter x:Name="VideoContainer" Grid.Row="1" TransitionSelector="{Binding ImageVideoTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding ImageVideoView}" IsContentVideo="true" /> by this one: <Image Grid.Row="1" Source="{Binding Path=ActiveGame.ScreenshotImagePath}" /> Unfortunately I can't find the code that shows the 3D box (marked in red). Where is it?

I confirm the video does not play in the background when startup screen is enabled. Thanks!

I have 2 startup themes installed (StageBox and the default one) but none of them are actually enabled.

Yeah. The screen with options such as "Play" and "Launch Additional Applications", etc.

What's the name of the file I should edit to achieve this? GameDetailsView.xaml?

I've changed the image type from Launchbox and now it shows the 3D box. That's nice. Now, is there a way to show the 2D front box only in the game details view (the view just before launching the game) while maintaining the 3D box only for the view attached before? I've noticed that if Steam is previously closed then the video doesn't play in the background but if Steam is already opened then it plays alongside the game.

I'm testing the new default theme and I like it except for 2 things: The fist one: I'd like "1" could be replaced by the 3D box intead of the 2D front box. I guess I have to edit a .xaml file in Themes\Default\Views\ but I don't know the code to be replaced. I'm using the view for games "Vertical Wheel". The second issue is very annoying but I'm sure it has to have an easy fix: "2" is a video (the game trailer). Each time I start the game (via Steam) the audio trailer plays alongside the game audio. Isn't the audio trailer supposed to be muted as soon as I launch the game?

Oh, I see. Yeah, it makes sense. Thanks.

Hi, I'm new here. The progress bar is not shown in the recent LaunchBox versions. Is this normal or I am missing something?

Well, I found how to hide the 'Play video in full screen' option by editing the file BigBoxSettings.xml located in Launchbox\Data. It's not a big issue but if this option doesn't work properly I prefer to hide it.

I think this issue has already been discussed but I can replicate it in the Launchbox latest version (12.12). Was it ever get fixed or it appeared again? And yes: if I select WMP as the video engine then the video plays correcly in full screen but if I do this I have other issues loading snapshots in other views so I use VLC as the video engine. I also emphasize that the black screen onlly happens the first time I try to play the video in full screen, the following times it plays correctly.

It works like a charm. Thanks!

Yes, I want just that. I already discovered the TextGamesView.xaml seems to be the view I need to modify to achieve this but I don't know exactly what I should change. I think the part of code that loads the video is: <!-- VIDEO --> <transitions:TransitionPresenter Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" Grid.RowSpan="4" TransitionSelector="{Binding ImageVideoTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding ImageVideoView}" IsContentVideo="true" Panel.ZIndex="4" /> However I don't know how to replace that portion of code so it loads a snapshot of that game (game title snapshot) instead of the video. UPDATE: I attach the original TextGamesView.xaml TextGamesView.xaml

I'm using the 'Unified' theme. I'm also using the vertical wheel view for both platform and games. Once I choose a game from the wheel I can see the trailer and the 3D box which is ok. But when I press enter (or the gamepad button) I see the 2D box of the selected game with the menu on the right (play, launch emulator, view back box, etc) and the trailer again. Is it possible to replace the trailer in this view with a snapshot? I know if the game has no videos then it loads the snapshot instead but if it has a video then snapshots are not shown. Any way to solve this? I'm using Launchbox 12.12. Thanks.

I see. Thanks!

I'm planning to purchase the Forever-Updates License because I like this software but I'm wondering if the license is always priced to $75 or it sometimes receive a discount.

I see. It's a little bit weird because you can play a song per game if you place the file in Music\[Platform name] and you rename it to match the game title but you can't play one file for all games/platforms.

I place the MP3 file in Launchbox\Music\Background If I launch Big Box the music automatically plays just fine but it doesn't work in desktop mode and I can't find any option to enable background music in this mode. Is this normal?
