I don't use a custom theme, just classic--but that's the issue. When I use windows 7 standard it's fine. I just plan on using my PC to setup everything for the HTPC anyway so I guess it's not that big of a deal. Once everything is configured I can switch it back. Thanks!

I like this idea. A little faded out (feature already available) and a little blurry would make the games stick out a little more and make everything a little easy on the eyes. I think you went a little too far in your mock up though.

No. English keyboard. So with the mouse enabled if I click and hold an option, it is highlighted and I can see an faint checkbox in gray. The options then respond accordingly. So it the color of the checkbox, I think the checks are colored white.

I'm running windows 7 Ultimate and .NET 4.5.1. That might be it. Nope. Just upgraded to 4.5.2 and restarted, is the same. Nothing unique about my setup other than the video card which isn't that common (I think) nVidia Quadro NVS 420. Some programs don't like four monitors because it throws their positioning off and full screen can act funny but that shouldn't effect this right?

I can highlight settings but they are all cleared and I can't do anything about it.

Yes those settings. I tried clicking the mouse but it isn't visible to see what I'm doing. I was going to first check enable mouse but everything is cleared, regardless of the actual state of the options. I wonder why I'm having this issue. I currently am on a multiple monitor setup, is that possibly causing the issue?

I searched the forum but I couldn't find anyplace that describes how to set Big Box settings. I hover over any setting (all are unchecked by default, regardless of behavior). I try enter, double press enter, space, mouse clicks. I can't get any settings to budge. What am I missing?

I'm using the additional apps feature to load saved games which is working great! They show up in big box below 'Play' and I just have one request. Would it be easy to add the option to have a screenshot and description to replace the one in the red box shown below for each additional app? There already is an icon used when I right click to access the app in launch box. This would complete the experience for me--Big box is looking fantastic!

I went with this http://www.amazon.com/Avantree-Powerhouse-Multi-Device-Management-Smartphones/dp/B00LAX58YO/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1434563052&sr=8-8&keywords=multi-device+charging+station mostly because the charger is "smart" and will know how to best charge the specific device you have plugged in (android, tablet, older ipad/iphone, etc.)

Well it could be quick and dirty just so I have something to play with. Just create an icon, I choose text and image and command line parameters with some standard metadata. You shouldn't have to do more than that. Unfortunately some emulators don't have the option of command line parameters for saved states but that's on them. Leave the command line option open. Let me choose the whole thing, even the initial program (emulator) name. This way I could run a batch file if need be to a way to implement. There are so many emulators and ways to implement that leaving it open and let users have discussion here on how to accomplish specifics would be a great start!

I would really like the ability to click on a game and bring up a menu similar to when selecting a system that would have all saved states and movies (I think the movie feature has already been requested) for that game. It looks like big box already has the extra level implemented, now just add a folder for saved games. This would only work for emulators that support it but then I could control command line parameters to play a movie and then load a state afterward (FCEUX for NES). With this I could choose the image to go with the saved state, the title and then the command to open it.
