Copy that. Must be something on my end. Guess I'll dig in...

Hey C-Beats! This was working up until the latest LB update. Did those menu items get cleaned up and folded into another xaml by chance?

Wondering if anyone has been able to successfully "clean up" switchres resolution changes between Big Box/Launchbox and the chosen game (mostly Mame issue). Is there a way to "hide" the ugly resolution resize between the game loading screen and the game boot? Same goes for the game exit back to the BB/LB UI. Maybe dip to black? I know that the loading screen or anything graphical won't work obviously (since the screen is flipping sizes), but a clean dip to black could work? (Guess I should mention - I'm running groovymame and switchres with a CRT cab)

Correct. C-Beats had told us the situation above and said they're updating via their discord. Was just trying to check status...

Any updates on this or are we still in limbo/low priority for the fix?

Cool, yeah there's definitely another XAML file - just can't figure out which...

Do you have a link to that forum post or was that information gleaned from the Discord? Would love to follow along.

@C-BeatsThanks for the above response last month. Saved me a ton of work. Question you might know the answer to (not sure it deserves a full new post) - Any idea which XAML these lines are pulling from? (Attached image is screencapped from the theme I'm working on). I've been all over the OptionsPage.xaml and I don't see lines for the Primary Screen, Marquee, and Framerate (not pictured). Only thing I can think of - it's pulling from somewhere else.

Love it. I'll take a look. Thanks!

I've been poking around editing XAMLs and tweaking them to my liking on my current custom theme for a couple months now (whenever I have free time). I'm wondering if there's a definitive list somewhere in these forums or elsewhere of the "view" file names and a description of each? So far I've been changing fonts and sizes on XAMLs that sound like what I'm looking for and checking in big box after saving to see if I'm correct. Seems... wasteful. I'm sure there's a better way to do it, but I feel like over half of these XAMLs have aged out in the latest VS releases so I can't view what I'm doing. Haven't heard of or seen another program that will reliably open these files that seem to be legacy at this point.

Here's an OG Xbox Wordmark version if anyone wants it.

Created another one that people might be interested in. I've been bookmarking/adding to a "to do" list to check out games I have that I've never played or maybe never heard of - so I made a "bookmarked" clear logo to go with that playlist.

Not sure if anyone needed or wanted this but I created a Neo Geo Manufacturer Logo in this style - didn't see one on here. Cheers EDIT: Apologies I didn't realize the bg wasn't transparent. Re-upped. @ChillDogg070284 Didn't see a reply to your message above and I had the project open. Hope inverted colors is cool. I don't have the white template and I created the black one from the EA logo (easiest to repurpose).

@faeran Thanks for the response! I'll take a gander and post back if I find a way around it. Side note - sorry for the late reply, I never got a response notification.

Apologies if this is posted in the incorrect place but I'm currently trying to customize a 4x3 CRT theme that was posted here (they're few and far between) and I'm having a weird issue. The goal: Vertical wheel slides in from left side and lands (good to go here); user scrolls box art with ONLY the top title changing as the user scrolls (also good to go); user stops at a possible game to be played, 2 seconds in - video of the game play (if available) or alternatively a screenshot of a "main" screen to show the user what the game is slides in from right side (this is the beat where I'm having issues). The problem: For some reason as it stands now when the user stops on a game, the video pops in instantly for .5 second and then disappears (or flashes off and on a few times before disappearing) then my animation plays out as designed. I've checked to make sure there aren't any hidden animations triggering these weird pop-ins and I can't find one. Is what I'm asking for something that's not possible? Is there any way to avoid this video/art pop-in upon game selection? It doesn't break big box in any way, it just gives it an unfinished look. I've attached a video for reference BigBox_AnimErrors_1.mp4 Thanks in advance!
