  1. It's strange, because my theme is actually very simple in its code. The command that call background image is the original one. From Jason's documentation PDF. But I did not really follow Jason's latest updates for lack of time. There may be some changes on its side that I did not affect the code of my theme (?) Another track: Your LaunchBox is on too slow hard drive ? Your images are those downloaded automatically? Or custom too big / heavy? EDIT : It's an interesting track! (stop a second effect) It goes in the direction of the code not up to date on my side. If that's right, it's this part of the code that must change, I guess? (Here for Platform view) Image Source="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.BackgroundImagePath}"
  2. It's very strange On views without video background, I used a XML coded blur on the backgroud images. The problem can only come from there, I think. Too CPU demand ? In the XML, try to remove the code for the blur and leave the background image. Try to replace that: <!-- FANART BACKGROUND BLURED--> <Image Source="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.BackgroundImagePath}" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="117" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="25" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Stretch="UniformToFill" > <Image.Effect> <BlurEffect Radius="75" RenderingBias="Performance"/> </Image.Effect> </Image> By that : <!-- FANART BACKGROUND BLURED--> <Image Source="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.BackgroundImagePath}" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="117" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="25" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Stretch="UniformToFill" > </Image> And tell me if that fixes the problem. You can also change the value of the blur. Maybe a smaller value consumes less power ? Or maybe update .NET framework ? Your Windows 10 is up to date ?
  3. @chrisl23 Thx ! But it's not me who created this ClearLogo set! I make this one :
  4. Yep. I do all my visual in fullHD only. Mainly because it is difficult to find high resolution photo sources. (For forgotten systems and accessories) A possibility : http://waifu2x.udp.jp/index.html
  5. I don't save all the PSD, but I can give you some overlay ! Ready to use, juste adjust opacity Reflect : Scanline :
  6. @Cauptain : To delete the date: Find the good platform view file in : LaunchBox\Themes\StationEmulation\Views In this file, find and delete these lines <!--"DATE" IN SMALL LINE--> <Viewbox StretchDirection="DownOnly" Stretch="Uniform" Grid.Row="2"> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.ReleaseDate, StringFormat=yyyy}" Foreground="#393a3b" FontFamily="Segoe UI Semilight" FontSize="40" TextAlignment="Center" Opacity="0.9"/> </Viewbox> Save the file To delete the grey line , also remove : <Border Grid.Row="2"> <Border.Background> <SolidColorBrush Color="#c8c8c8" Opacity="0.9" /> </Border.Background> </Border>
  7. The difficulty is to find a good photo source. Large size, no blur/noize, and a perspective that sticks with the set.
  8. @Shingo : You are right ! I just tested and actually it doesnt work. Very strange bug. The thing is, the "category" pages are not special. These are the same as for the platform view. Same file, same code. I dont see what I can do about it. An idea someone?
  9. @poisongoomba Thx ! To delete the date: Find the good platform view file in : LaunchBox\Themes\StationEmulation\Views In this file, find and delete these lines <!--"DATE" IN SMALL LINE--> <Viewbox StretchDirection="DownOnly" Stretch="Uniform" Grid.Row="2"> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Path=SelectedPlatform.ReleaseDate, StringFormat=yyyy}" Foreground="#393a3b" FontFamily="Segoe UI Semilight" FontSize="40" TextAlignment="Center" Opacity="0.9"/> </Viewbox> Save the file To delete the grey line , also remove : <Border Grid.Row="2"> <Border.Background> <SolidColorBrush Color="#c8c8c8" Opacity="0.9" /> </Border.Background> </Border>
  10. @keltoigael Strange ... Did you try : BigBox option> Image> check "Use the platform fanart as background" BigBox option> Image> uncheck "Use the platform logo as background" ??
  11. Thx all ! @defleppard : Atari Classics ? With what hardware ? Arcade cabinet ?? @odygeo : I already make a Android one, with Samsung Edge. Not good ?
  12. @Detran : Sorry for the delay in response. But I had already done this kind of logo. They are not good?
  13. Yep. Or set "ESC" and "F10" on my button, with JoyToKey. F10 will do nothing on other emulator. Just close CD32 emultor. I'll do some test. Thx !!!
  14. Ok I understood. Thank you for your help ! The problem is that it is for an arcade cabinet. I have a physical button that I have set on ESC keys, that close all my emulator. I would like to be able to close FS-UAE too. For Amiga and for CD32 ... I dont know how to do it!
  15. Thx ! I test with this : But it's dont work ... any idea ?
  16. Thx @Zombeaver for this tutorial !!! Everything works fine and for the first time here! Awesome !! I have only one question : Thanks to your WHDLoad.prefs file, I can close the emulator with the ESC key. ($45) But it doesnt work with CD32 games. Who are not WHD files. How to assign ESC to close the emulator when a CD32 game is launched? The classic dont work here ... $Esc:: { Process, Close, {{{StartupEXE}}} }
  17. @johnugamer @alexis524 : I have not time to do this now. But it's don't seems difficult to do. =) @moppedz : Unfortunately, I dont think that is possible. In any case, I did not find where to change that value. The easiest way is to create or use a ClearLogo for these playlist.
  18. OK OK. I didn't understand. I dont have a LaunchBox installation under my eyes to check where the problem comes from. I look as fast as I can.
  19. OK. I added to the download page the PSD file for ClearLogo "categorie". This style :
  20. This is not a theme issue. The information displayed is not in the theme, but in LaunchBox. Same for pictures (FanArt, Video, Screenshot, ...) Metadata for platforms are automatically downloaded by LaunchBox. Except for generalist platforms. For example, "ARCADE". LaunchBox doesnt know what kind of arcade to download the right info. Same for the playlist. In these few cases, you will have to enter the information in your hands. In LAUNCHBOX, open the "PLATFORM" menu, select the correct one and enter the information by hand. They will be displayed in BigBox. For the problem of video/screenshot, this is ""normal"". In BigBox, there are some display and video alignment bug. To minimize the problem, I had to code this way. There is no other choice, unfortunately! Unless someone has the solution and sharing! I hope that helps!
