Hi all -- I found this thread while searching for a way to force Launchbox and Bigbox to just use plain text for ALL playlist names, and I'm confused about where this landed. The BitBucket issue is marked as "resolved" but it doesn't seem resolved to me.
My situation is that I've made a number of playlists, some of which happen to have common genre names (e.g. "Role Playing") and some of which are very custom to my situation that aren't genres (e.g. "Kid Favorites").
LaunchBox and BigBox both are forcing a clear logo image on any playlist that it thinks is a genre (like Role Playing), which means that no matter which theme I use, my playlist view is a mix of plain text (which I want for all), and inconsistent logo images (which I do not want).
As documented extensively by the OP in this thread, I have repeatedly edited and removed the Clear Logo image in the playlists' settings. It always comes back. I have deleted every occurrence of the logo images from the playlist folders, and from both cache folders. They always come back.
No, I'm not going to use the plain text view for the themes. It's too small and I want the rest of the theme's look/animation, I just don't want to be FORCED to use logos that I didn't put in there!!
All this talk about the BigBox theme builders doing a workaround for this is not the solution, or people having to hack in clear logo images that are just text -- for one thing, this is happening in LaunchBox, not just BigBox. Second, that's not really a solution and it's not intuitive. As a user, when I didn't explicitly add a logo image for my playlist, it shouldn't magically get one. Even worse, when I explicitly remove the logo image for my playlist, it shouldn't magically come back with no way to stop it! That is terrible UX design.
I'm a paid user and a big reason for that is because LB/BB allows me to create a beautiful showcase for my games. This bug is a major annoyance, because in order to get consistent look for my playlists I have to manually create logos for all of them, when I could just let them be text. Please fix this.
EDIT: opened a BitBucket issue
I didn't put this image there:
Clicking edit, deleting the image:
Closed, deleted all images from all playlist and cache folders. And it just comes back, and shows in my BigBox themes:
