@Lugawigaming How about this: A simple, yet elegant collection of playlist logos. Not a bunch of flashy smoke being blown up your...waaaaait a minute. This collection just plain works. It's dependable and reliable. Like a '58 Chevy 1/2 ton pickup. When you just need to know what genre you are looking at, this collection delivers. Each one of these logos jumps into the captain's chair and says "make it so". And you know what? That's all we really need in a genre playlist logo collection. Also, you can slap these logos anywhere you need them to go! Currently I'm situating them neatly inside of my Crylen's bordered clear logo template to match the rest of my setup. They don't scoff at me and demand all the attention like some diva broadway star. They say, "oh you'd like me to slide over here? You got it broseph!". They bring their own party; they are content in their surroundings. They give neighboring pixels no gruff, but instead develop a reciprocal relationship so that the entire image becomes better. Not like some other logos that only seek to dominate and strut their flashiness around at the cost of everything else. When the dust settles, I know that my genre logos are better for having meshed with these fine playlist logos. And we all come out winners.

So it may be the .png that is killing it. Good idea. Any recommendations on a little program that will just run through them all?

Yeah, that, and if you have a platform that you keep adding to like say PC Games,...then each time you add a game you have to go use the community theme creator with the template and run a new batch for those games. If Launchbox could call upon box art and clear logo in one shot like the theme creater referenced, then I think this could be a more universal success. Because as it sits right now, you have to have a person who will want to use/be comfortable using the community theme creator to run batches of images, as well as want to have at least over 4 gigs of extra images for this. That's where I sit right now and I have about 10 systems left to do. I can absorb the storage hit just to test out the theme and check it out, but damn,...that's just too big. It needs to be able to use existing assets. Hopefully @Jason Carr can work a little magic just for this little area of the program?

I am missing about 50 banners between NES and SNES. Don't know if I really want to go through all that to make them one by one. Just taking a look through N64, already have like 10 missing from that. EDIT: Seems as though I have to refresh all those games' metadata so launchbox looks up their Database ID so that the theme will show the image for the game. Well for some anyways,...some are still completely missing from the artwork folder (Adventures of lolo DB: 328 for example).

Ok, cuz I brought all the assets into photoshop and was trying to make a few. one-click would definitely be awesome. Got it pretty close with gaussian blur 5.0

After running through it for a while I'm now wondering if there is a way to edit the transitions to be quicker and snappier. Basically to have every transition after you land on a game to happen quicker. Also is there a way to have a default blank banner for games that don't have a proper banner? Or do we have to make one for each game we find that is missing one?

I noticed all the individual game banner file names are numbers. So if we have to make our own banners for some games (homebrew/hacks) how do we know what number to use? - Edit: It's the LB database number.
