  1. I wish! Unfortunately Dave has limited the theme creator to BigBox only - there is no equivalent for Launchbox at present. No, I just edited the .xaml files myself.
  2. Previously the game controller icon would show in the top right of the game details pane. In the latest beta (13.19-beta-3) and maybe previous betas, this no longer shows. Would be great to have this fixed, thanks. Running on Windows 11.
  3. Version 1.0.0

    Here is my Launchbox theme, imaginatively titled "Frogg". This is a rework of the default theme, as there were a number of things I wanted to change. See the second screenshot for a list of the changes made. Most of the changes were to the game details pane. I also removed the rounded edges from the boxes in the main grid view. The platform tree is the same. Overall I wanted to maximise the use of available screen area and show as much metadata as possible, minimising the necessity to scroll. Some scrolling is still required to view the retroachievements and related games, but for general game browsing often no scrolling is required to see the banner, images, metadata and notes. The very latest default them has returned to having the related game in a separate tab; I might update this theme at some point to incorporate that. I have an ultrawide monitor and this theme makes good use of the extra screen real estate. If your monitor isn't quite as wide you can resize the game details pane to your satisfaction. Also, I have a separate marquee screen on which the banner is displayed. That's why I kept the scratched arcade marquee aesthetic with the clear logo in the game details pane. It probably fits the theme better than the marquee anyway. There is one thing I still want to change - the height of the image preview area. For videos this will utilise the space well, though for the images it only uses around 80% of the available height. It looks OK but it's something I want to improve in a later update. Also, vertical videos take up a bit too much height; I plan to fix this also. Note: the controller support icon should appear in the top right area of the banner; this appears to be a bug which is currently being looked into.

  5. Aren't these boxes meant to be square? These kind of look rectangular.
  6. That works, thanks - though the folder structure in the download doesn't work; you have to move the plugin items into a Thirdscreen subdirectory.
  7. Nice....would look even better in 2.5D
  8. Happy to share, if you're still looking for this? Sorry for the delay.
  9. Would be cool to have a Nintendo NES Black Box collection video
  10. It is indeed fixed - but it does seem that scanning for new roms (at least from a local NAS), takes quite a long time.
  11. I just checked and it seems to be fixed - thanks!!
  12. No, I'm talking about the bug which you confirmed earlier - "We've confirmed there is an issue with the import wizard and are able to reproduce what you're describing. The team are looking into this now." The problem was that the "scan for added roms" feature wasn't picking up the added roms (but was behaving as though it had). Sorry, I know there's a lot to keep track of!
  13. Any progress with the import wizard bug @AstroBob?
  14. Regarding the creases - what's the problem with this? If the box image resembles the source scan rather than a pristine photoshopped version, then all the better.
