Wow that is great to here. I would love to help test. I currently have a 4 screen setup that displays a main game window, a marquee monitor, a smaller monitor that displays the control panel image and the fourth monitor provides general info, graphic ads or the RL pause screen. At one point I had ledblinky implemented but it required too much baby sitting to keep working, so I would rather just see a control panel image. I think a comprehensive solution would allow for additional displays on different monitors or on different regions of the main screen. So, for example, I might have a single large screen and I want a bezel to show the arcade cab bezel art and/or an image of the CP, or whatever. Plugins to various front end would be a plus. Personally I use RL plus Hypermarquee to accomplish this now on my Mame setup; and PinballX to do it on the pinball cab. The brings up the other issue, that the added screen (or screen regions) need to be able to render animation (the backglass screen of a pinball cabinet is commonly animated).

Nope, but I was about to go to my rig and fiddle with monitor orientations to see if I get a similar outcome as you. I also tried editing the theme, GameMarquee.View properties directly. I can rotate and fade the marquee, but I cannot force it onto my marquee monitor. I tried the Transplate.Tranform method, but no luck

How did you solve your marquee display issue? I am stumped with my marquee image hidden behind the main image all on Monitor 1 no matter hoiw I adjust Big Box options

I have a very similar problem. New install, 3 screens all with different resolutions (4K, 1920 x 358 - a true marquee monitor). Regardless of which monitor I assign to the main Big Box GUI and the marquee image, the Marquee image always renders on Monitor 1 (the 4K monitor) behind/underneath the main Big Box GUI.

OP, did you get this resolved? I have a three screen setup and no matter what I do, the marquee image stay on Monitor 1, hidden behind the main BigBox GUI.

OK, so it looks like I need to directly edit the properties of the Marquee View in Visual Studio by editing that particular Solution/Theme. Correct? I iwll experiment.

Did you end up solving this. I am working on a new install and have the same issue. Both main UIO and marquee are on the same screen with the marque hidden behind.

I cannot get marquee images to display on my marquee monitor. The marquee window is there behind the main bigbox display. I have a 3 monitor setup with my desktop "extended" to all 3 monitors. I have change the marquee monitor setting in general settings and tried using the value of 2 or 3 and no luck..just gthe marquee window with proper image aligned behind the main gui on monitor 1 Any ideas?

Update. I did finally get everything working perfectly with GameEx + LEDblinky. Not sure what my issue was but a clean install of everything was the trick.

So, you got Launchbox + LEDBlinky + MAME working? I have tried all the frontends and I can only get MAME + LEDBlinky working with MALA. I use RL for every other emu launched in MALA Suggestion regarding the question about using other emulators with LEDBlinky: I create a new rocketlauncher.exe for each emu simply by copying the original rocketauncher.exe and renaming to "rocketlauncher-emuname.exe" Then, the emulator executable (that MALA looks for) for Sega Genesis, for example, is "rocketlaunchersegagenesis.exe" This allows me to the create a default set of control lights for Sega Genesis in the LEDBlinky controls editor. The issue, I think, is that LEDBlinky can only monitor one frontend at a time and one emu at a time. So it cannot light MALA and then light RL (as a frontend). It can light MALA then RL (as an emulator call). I just could never get LB to light much of anything in Gameex or HS or RetroFE.
