  1. Hey guys- having a very weird issue- Unified Redux isn't finding any of my background images (video borders, fanart, etc) when I moved launchbox onto a portable drive. Nothing I do seems to fix it. What gives? An image of the issue is attached and yes- the fanarts are in the proper folder (LaunchBox\Themes\Unified Redux\Images\Theme\Background) with the proper format (.jpg). -EDIT- Looking into this issue deeper ... it seems like this only happens if you launch BigBox on a portable drive?? Slapping everything even onto a different PC will make backgrounds work again. I just don't even understand.
  2. So it's been almost a month since I've reported my issue and I was still bummed out that I couldn't use this theme because IMO, Retro808 probably made my favorite StartUp theme for Launchbox. I decided to get my hands dirty with the code to see whats going wrong in the .xmal files, until I found this: <Grid.Background> <SolidColorBrush Color="Black" Opacity="{Binding BackgroundFade}" /> </Grid.Background> I decided to remove these lines of code and voila- the backgrounds were visible to me now! Granted I'll have to make this change for every platform, but now this theme is working great.
  3. Nope, its all the way opaque on my end.
  4. I can confirm that this is the case, yet the BGs are still not showing up. Just to be sure, I reinstalled the theme. Does the images require IEXPLORER.EXE by any chance?
  5. Menu doesn't seem to show up on LB 9.3. Installing plugin then using "PCSX2 Configurator" on the bottom of the sub-menu (right click) of a PS2 game doesn't do anything.
  6. The background images don't seem to show up at all for me. Anything I can do?
  7. For me personally, I won't actually be using loading screens for emulators. I use Launchbox for PC games too. And certain Windows games on slower PCs (ex. Slay the Spire because of the Java Runtime) load particularly slowly. Having startup-screens "mask" the time between hitting the LAUNCH button and the executable actually booting into exclusive fullscreen would be pretty cool.
  8. Hello @faeran. I've already uploaded my review of these themes, but the tl;dr is that they're all great, but suffer from design inconsistencies across platforms (some has video scanlines, some rotate covers, etc). For this post I wanted to propose a primary suggestion for this project: Uploading a 'general' theme. Something to use as a placeholder for systems without it's own custom theme yet, or those unlikely to have custom themes at all. I believe this is a good idea because it'll match people's less popular platforms with the rest of the project without looking too out-of-place. Maybe have it be some generic retro/pixel look or something. Otherwise, the only other suggestions I have are mostly a wishlist of platforms to add that are less reasonable to divest energy/time into, but I'll list them anyways in the off-chance they catch your attention: NEC TurboGrafx-16 Nintendo WiiU Nintendo DS Nintendo 3DS Sony PSP Sony PS2 And these are less reasonable because these systems lack actual "game covers" to design around. I feel that they fit better under the 'general' theme idea than having dedicated themes themselves, but regardless: MAME platform PC-Based Arcade Systems (Taito-X, Tekno Parrot, etc) Sega Model 2 & 3 MS-DOS Modern Computer Games (Steam/Windows/etc) Overall your project is great and I hope to see it updated to be even better over time. Thanks.
    One of the best theming projects on the site, next to Emulation Station and the GPD Win theme. However the major criticism I have that stops this collection from being ideal is all the inconsistencies across the themes. What I mean is things like: PS1 theme has a scanline effect on the videos (which I love), but not the others. Sega Saturn theme features the covers/discs being spun around after X amount of time (which I hate), but you don't have a choice to disable this if you don't want it. Following this, the N64 theme doesn't seem to rotate covers/carts at all while the PS1 theme gives you a choice. Sega Saturn theme puts clear logos at the bottom for some reason. Etc All these inconsistencies just makes each theme stand out in a bad way, beyond just the cover art. I believe it's in the author's best interest to sit down and decide what exactly he/she wants for every theme in the project and apply it equally across all themes. Otherwise, this is fantastic work and I hope to see more platforms added soon. 4/5
  9. It was the reboot that fixed it.
  10. Sorry about that, didn't realize there was a dedicated thread for that. Thanks! This seems to have fixed the problem for me. For whatever reason, Launchbox Next was completely broken after the update until I followed your advice. Windows were not selectable at all and graphics were broken. Hopefully anybody else who runs into this issue can easily resolve it now.
  11. Updated LB today and my client became this: https://imgur.com/a/KqKIyiN Would someone mind pointing me to the previous LB beta download? Lost my local copy.
  12. Hey there- love LB. I have a question regarding LB/LBN. Is there currently a feature-freeze on the "current" LB to help LBN catch-up?
  13. Hey Grila, nice theme. By far, this is the most performant BigBox theme on the GPDWin- even beating out EmulationStation. My problem is that the customizer lacks a "white" color for the banner. If I want to put in my own custom color, where would I go to do that? Thanks in advance.
