Beta 2 is out now with the following: Views using the BoxArtCoverFactory now respect the GameImage setting instead of forcing Boxes Wall view was attempting to draw items several times if you had less items than Columns x Rows causing index errors Horizontal Platform Wheel wasn't respecting RotationAmount Images in the new WallView were getting cut off because of a UV Coordinate issue and should now show correctly Corrected an issue importing MS-DOS games via a drag and drop that would incorrectly set the application path of the game (introduced in 11.9)

Unfortunately not @CtinD. To be honest, it's not really much of a priority. Though I'll note the interest.

Hey all, the first 11.10 beta is out now with the following: New Premium Feature: The Big Box default wall view has been overhauled and is now much more flexible (with features such as item selections, row fading, and more) New Premium Feature: There are now 4 different Big Box wall views that are available for theme developers New Premium Feature: All Big Box wheel and CoverFlow views have been overhauled to allow for custom theme templates inside of each element in the wheel/CoverFlow. This means that theme developers can now use multiple images and other elements inside of wheel/CoverFlow items. Fixed: Corrected an issue that sometimes caused the same game to be found for several platforms when scanning for added games (introduced in 11.9) Major changes went into this release with the wheels, wall views, and CoverFlow in Big Box to support the custom theme templates for individual items. This will be a big win for theme developers, as it provides for much greater flexibility. That said, a large portion of the Big Box code was updated, so we'll need some heavy testing this go-around.

Sorry for the delayed reply here. That folder should show up after a reinstall of LaunchBox. You can install over top of the same folder without losing your settings or games.

Hi @GreatStone, do you have an updated version of hi2txt? Just checking to see if I need to update the version included with LaunchBox.

@ultrez Noted. I'm hoping to get back to games database development at some point later this year. Some of these items are already on the to-do list.

I have added it to my list of items for the next poll.

@KKND Please let us know if your issue is resolved or not.

@Kazan22 Are you using a custom theme for LaunchBox? Where is LaunchBox installed on your system? What version of Windows are you running?

This should be fixed now.

...or permanent ones.

Thanks for the report. I will look into it. We updated the forums late last week, so I suspect that somehow that got messed up in the process.

Hi @Njsmooth, thanks for the request. This is on our wishlist for the DB as well.

I reduced the required width to 1200, so hopefully that fixes the background image issue for you guys. It doesn't appear to affect mobile, so hopefully this will be a good compromise.

I've specifically hidden the background images when the perceived screen resolution is too small. When you calculate the zoom level and the screen DPI settings (from Windows), if the resolution turns out to be less than 1640, it won't show up. This is because there were some significant readability issues on mobile devices caused by the background images. I might reduce that number though.

The only other thing I can suggest is to clear your cookies for the site (which will make you have to log back in). Other than that, I'm out of ideas. I've tested that in Chrome without issues, so it seems like it must somehow be a system-specific issue. On second thought, I might know what's going on. Just had a thought. What is your resolution? If it's too low (lower than 1600 pixels across), then it won't show the background for readability reasons.

Just fixed the code issue. When on smaller screens, the Mark All as Read feature is moved to the hamburger menu (just how they build the new version of the forums). Yeah, I haven't seen any issues with this. Maybe try pressing Ctrl+F5 to force a refresh of everything?

Gotcha, thanks guys. I'll get it fixed up.

Ah, good to know. Can you link me to a page with code tags in it?

Hey all, I just upgraded the forums to the latest version of the forums software. It was a major undertaking, so let me know if anyone notices any issues with the new version or the updated themes. It is worth noting that if you were using a theme other than the default (LaunchBox Invaders), you'll most likely need to select it again via the Theme drop down at the very bottom of the page.

Feel free to create your own thread @ultrez.

@G22 Ah, okay, good to know.

FYI all; the latest version of LaunchBox (11.9) should do the vast majority of what folks need for a MAME importer (Lightspeed shouldn't really be necessary anymore, as the MAME full-set importer handles pretty much everything). If not, please tell me what LaunchBox is missing.

Yes, everything requested in this thread can be done already. If you want to tag certain games with something (anything, really), use a custom field. Then there's also auto-populate playlists.

I will take a look at the theme to see if I can figure it out. If we can identify that it's definitely the theme that is the issue, then you can let me know what view(s) and I'll take a look. Did you download the theme from inside of the Big Box Themes Manager? Or did you get it from the forums?
