    Do you want them as psd files instead, then you can arrange the layouts a little better, these where just rough mock ups

     

    another alternative c64 based on Lassiveran's reconstructed box, which i think looks alot more clean

    amstrad cpc, weired one,couldnt find any standard box usually made by computer/console creator

    Hope feeran can help, i am after creating some of th older computer based systems for my setup but im at  a loss with the xml files

    i was trying zx spectrum but was unable to change the font (first job)

    i was basing the layout on the gamecube layout so left hand side list, but with a zx spectrum type font maybe in red and around 30 pixels from the left

    the background image would be based on the old style zx spectrum boxes.

    any help much apreciated

     

    **edit** maybe a c64 version based on clowns style box

    another alternative is pleasure dome torrent site, they have full packs of machines by date, i cant imagine you would need any help running them as they are pretty straight forward, the pack i created of around 400 machines all with the same background can be run through rocketlauncher script created by brolly and/or djvj  sorry i cant remember whi created it its been that long, i can upload my stuff somewhere if you want it, the emulators may show as a virus but its only a false posative due to me editing the exe files to remove the menus

    I know MFME is a download from https://www.desertislandfruits.com/forum/index.php?/topic/3062-mfme-v19-release/ but it seems you need to be a member, and then post 30 times before you get anywhere near the Emulator.  Is this not available to download anywhere else ?  I've never seen an Emulator behind a forum wall before, and I've just been reading this thread about MFME and it sounds interesting or worth a little look to see how they play.    However, posting 30 times on a forum just to try it...... thats a big ask.  I've been using Launchbox since day one and only posted here about 5 times.

    Edit/ 4 times just noticed that its under my profile (I am old be nice).

    ah right, i did put a ticket in asking to see if height could sort of control the width and some kind of minimum spacing at present it seems like the width controls the height if that makes any sense (Not had weetabix today so brains num)

    ive been reading on the wpf stuff and wasnt sure if 

    
StackPanel Orientation="Horizontal"

    could be used to achieve this

    im not sure how your using ahk, but shouldnt winwaitactive be used in your script to wait for the emulator to load before switching the screens, not sure how it would work having it wait for various named windows, the ahk guys on there forums are pretty helpful though

     

    lol i keep reading your post, as i've never used ahk with launchbox so not sure how it calls it, but if possible have the ahk that loads with launchbox sleep then load another ahk to create the correct sleep, obviously both would need the exit command to close them both

    Thank you, the biggest issue i have is the box overlaps on different sized boxes, i keep trying different nox style themes so we can have a bunch of views, but theres a few limitations at the momnet

    hopefully jason carr in the near future can get the likes of grid, grid with details and allow different themes on a system basis everything should work quite good.

    i tried dark13s date and clock in swf and that works pretty good to add to the theme , also weather but i think yahoo as changed something
