    I've just found out about LaunchBox about last week and I'm in the process of accumulating roms and troubleshooting emulator settings, and I've been having a blast with it. I absolutely love this theme so far, and the little QOL features is very nice to have, especially the back button sort/random/voice menu. I'm trying to put something together to get a console-like experience so avoiding having to set up controller hotkeys is preferable. I had a couple questions and wanted to take a chance to ask here because my coding knowlege is very limited and I'm at my wits' end. The first is the repeating box art that is displayed on playlists that have very few items in it. In most cases, maybe someone'll have a dozen or more games on each platform so it wont be noticed. Right now my Swich library is at one game, but I expect eventually it will resolve itself. However in the other use case of using voice to search games, the opportunities for this situation to arise increase many times. I've found that this started happening with most themes after the LaunchBox 11.10 update when a new FlowControl system was implemented. I've found that it has to do with the setting Endless being set to True by default. I thought I may be able to alter the BigBoxTheme.sln and find the value and switch it off but at this point I don't know where to look. There's not a lot of tutorials specifically for in depth editing of launchbox xaml files and I'm not about to start adding lines to places and hoping it works. My second question is a lot more straightforward. I much prefer the view of the games details screen than the platform screen. I even prefer it to the built in screensaver mode because the play button is available right there. If I enable Attract Mode, the screen automatically goes from the platform screen to the game detail screen after 10 seconds, however, since another game can't be selected with outgoing back, the detail screen continues as normal for 30 seconds, and then automatically starts the game. Is there a way to prevent the game from automatically starting? That alone would be nice. Going from platform to game detail automatically feels very natural and netflixy. As an alternate form of screensaver, is there a way implement attract mode so that in the details screen, the game shown could be changed so that there's always a background video showing? Thanks a ton for your time, and a ton for developing this theme!
