So after some more searching on the forum I came across this thread. The issue is due to launchbox not knowing if a steam ID is running or not. There is a AHK script that can be run to work around this. So far its working great for me.

Hi, I'm trying to play some PC games on my arcade cabinet. I basically got everything working and I imported the games in the LEDBlinky control editor and created the layout I want. When I select the game in LaunchBox it show the preview of the controls just fine. When I enter the game the controls show for the demo time set in the LEDBlinky config then switch back to the LaunchBox light setup. I have been messing with settings trying to figure this out but I need some help... Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks

No Im using Bigbox's built in marquee support. It works really nice. I was using marquee magician before but it had bugs that would cause it to show the wrong marquee.

I got my arcade cabinet back online today and I thought I would show it off to the community. Its been offline for about a year. It used to run hyperspin but I am now running Big Box and love how much time it saved me in the setup. Most of the buttons have been swapped over to RGB buttons and the top marquee has a 16x10 dell 2407 display. I still need to get my Aimtrak guns working and the center controller is getting swapped out for a spinner in the next month or 2. Cabinet Tour Games Demo

Im using the bigcouch theme. Thanks for replying

I have had this issue since starting to use Big Box. In the game details the option to mark as favorite or broken do not show up. The option is checked but the arent there. If i go to options and turn the option off and back on then it shows up for a while. I havent figured out what or why is causing this. Big Box auto starts on windows boot and I dont do anything else on this machine but play roms. I thought maybe it was a bug in the beta but now that 7.0 is out I am still having this issue.

Well Im glad Im not the only one with this issue. For not its motivating me to go through my list and try to create some of these clear logo's no idea how to upload them to emumovies but I should figure that out.

Hey @viking Im really liking the new vertical view with clear logo's. Its the only one that runs super smooth for me. The boxes seems to be too much to keep up with for the little NUC. My only issue with that view is that any game that does not have a logo is displayed in white text. Its readable but just barely. Im messing around with the theme files to try to fix it but I havent figured out what view file does that game view come from. I would love to make it be black text. Not sure how to do that but Im willing to poke at it till I figure it out.

Hi, I am trying to edit a theme so that it includes the Recent games list. I added the code <transitions:TransitionPresenter Grid.Row="9" Grid.RowSpan="3" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="11" TransitionSelector="{Binding BottomBoxesTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding BottomBoxesView}" Margin="0,0,33,0" /> and that made the Recent games show up and look great but I am having a hard time accessing it. It seems the controls are different depending on what Platform View I am using. On Platform View 2 I cant access it at all. On Platform View 3 I can access it by pressing down and continuing to press down to move through the list. What I would like is to press up to access the list and left and right to move through it. Does anyone know how to make this change. Here is the bitbucket ticket I opened and screenshot of what I am trying to do. https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/2060/adding-recent-games-to-a-custom-theme Thanks,

@viking ya Im not sure its something we have control over right now. I put in a ticket for it. I could use some votes to help get Jason's attention if you wouldnt mind. Help me out people. https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/launchbox/issues/2060/adding-recent-games-to-a-custom-theme Take a look at that screenshot. I think the recent games looks great right there. For now I will copy the code to platform view 3 and use the down arrow till I can fix it. Thanks again Viking.

So somewhere not in the view. I copied "platform view 2" code to "platform view 3" and now the same controls work with the video playing view. Might have to reach out to Jason. Any ideas Viking?

@viking So I kinda figured out my issue with adding the recent games. I added the same line to Platform view 3 and that displays the recent games as well but now I can press the down key and it will move to the recent games menu. up and down move among the list. This isnt ideal since I want to press up to access the list and then left and right to move through the list. Any idea where these controls are set?

Thanks for the reply viking. I will reach out to the dev's and see if they can help me as well. Here is my setup that is playing the videos just fine. Intel NUC http://ark.intel.com/products/84861/Intel-NUC-Kit-NUC5i5MYHE running windows 10 pro. I installed VLC from their website but havent loaded any codec packs or any other video player. Both VLC and WMP are working for me. VLC had the issue where it would play sound but no video but that is fixed in the latest version. I also have a windows 10 pro desktop with I5 6500k geforce 1080. Its the machine that I am doing theme editing on. Its playing the videos just fine as well. Wish I could replicate the issue and help more but thats all I go on the subjest of video playback.

@viking The videos have been working fine for me Viking. I have been running your theme for a week now. alignment hasnt been an issue. I updated to the last version tonight and alignment is still fine though I now get a black flash at the end of the fade to the next video. I have question though that Im hoping you can help with. I have gone through all the theme editing videos and have started to mess around with your theme. I would like to include the recent games list. I added this code the platform view 2 <transitions:TransitionPresenter Grid.Row="9" Grid.RowSpan="3" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="11" TransitionSelector="{Binding BottomBoxesTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding BottomBoxesView}" Margin="0,0,33,0" /> I can see the recent games just fine when I load up the theme but I cant select them. Im really new to this. How to I add that function back in? Thanks
