I only have a handful of applications/games in each one of the following 'platforms'.
Applications
Arcade
PC
Tools
Power
I do not need meta data or images for any of the games/tools I am using. Whilst someone has kindly created art for 'Arcade' and 'PC' they haven't for 'Power' and 'Tools' etc. I do not have the inclination to create my own images and actually like the clean look of using Big Box mode but turning everything except titles off.
If I was trying to recreate Hyperspin with thousands of games I could see why having this would be useful, but I just want a simple controller friendly launcher without any additional fluff, which LaunchBox does admirably.
I realise I am very likely in the minority so I will just create a grey image for the platform images :) thanks.
