Retrofrogg

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.

Frogg theme View File 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. Videos fill 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.

That works, thanks - though the folder structure in the download doesn't work; you have to move the plugin items into a Thirdscreen subdirectory.

It is indeed fixed - but it does seem that scanning for new roms (at least from a local NAS), takes quite a long time.

I just checked and it seems to be fixed - thanks!!

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!

Any progress with the import wizard bug @AstroBob?

Think there might be something up with the "tools/scan for added (platform name) roms" feature with the current beta. There are a bunch of new roms in the NES folder; I do the scan, it says "searching for additional roms" - this seems to take quite a long time - around 2 minutes or so. I then get the "import ROMs from files wizard", asking me if I'd like to download metadata for my games. To me this suggests that it has found some new roms - otherwise it would say no new roms found. So I go ahead and select the media I want, and on the next screen tick "force importing duplicate games". On the "ready to import" window however there are 0 games. I click finish and it doesn't seem to import any.

Well I did the other things it suggested.....and it made no difference to the problem, unfortunately .

Thanks - I'll take a look. The very first instruction seems out of date; I don't have the "content type reported to the display" option.

Any progress with this issue @Sbaby?

Improved auto-playlist logic seems to work as intended....bravo!

You can't download games from Launchbox. Launchbox is only a front end to display, manage and launch your games. You have to download the games elsewhere, and then you can put them into Launchbox.

1. You're in the themes forum - your message should be in the "noobs" forum 2. You'd have better luck translating your message into English 3. You don't need a login and password to download or open Launchbox

You have to set the background for that item as transparent.
