View File Lucent Lucent is a modern take on an Android theme and heavily uses custom images to achieve its light and airy flow. It uses custom platform backgrounds and clear logos, and its inspiration is found in many different themes that came before it including hydef's Light, which was inspired by Radiance, which was inspired by iGarikoitz's line of themes. This theme is best downloaded within LaunchBox for Android, through the Manage Themes section of the app. This post is mainly for support purposes only. Available Views: 1 Filters view is available 2 Game views are available, 1 supports videos while the other does not Requirements: It requires Android 1.10 or above due to its reliance on the Animation engine and custom image control included with this version. While touch screen controls do work, it is highly recommended to only use this theme with a controller This theme will adjust to different aspect ratios and orientations, but was mainly developed using a landscape widescreen device Credits: Thanks to hydef and iGarokoitz for design inspiration Thanks to Dan Patrick and his wonderful white clear logo set Submitter faeran Submitted 10/23/2023 Category Custom Themes  

By default, LaunchBox does combine discs into the same game entry, allowing you to then select which disc to load up. If you want them separate, then during the import process you'll want to uncheck the "combine games" option that you'll see on one of the later pages. You'll also want to make sure that disc 2 isn't already imported and associated with your main game by editing the game and checking your additional apps section.

One thing you can do is simply delete the games that you don't own. The system is designed to not re-import them again automatically once deleted.

Things are progressing well. With any new person there's always a bit of an adjustment as they get up to speed, but things have definitely progressed nicely. We will have something, at least in beta form sometime soon. We are hopeful for this week.

You posted two screenshots of your Edit Emulator - Details page. One is showing an application path filed in, and the other is showing it missing. You need an application path, so definitely make sure it's there.

I assume you'd have to go game by game, but just checking the first game in your image "Go Go Ackman" it does look like the LaunchBox Games Database has fan made 3D box images for NA sized boxes: Should be easy enough to edit the game, go to the images section and download available 3d box images and see what you can get. You can also search directly on the website, which is what I did to find this: https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/3459-go-go-ackman

Are you asking to replace the vertical space on the NA boxes with horizontal space between the Japanese boxes? Or, are you wanting to completely replace the Japanese boxes with fan made reimagining's of how they would look if they were horizontal boxes?

Essentially, what C-Beats is referring to is the thing you are referring to as a "pic" is really an actual 3D Model based on Box - Front, Box - Back, and Box - Spine images. What you are wanting is a 3D Box image, which I'm guessing you currently don't have for that game. A quick search, and it looks like there is no 3D Box image for that game on the Games Database. I'm thinking that game was excluded because it's a ROM hack, but that's just a guess. Looks like the set you are using is this one: WallyWonka was nice enough to include the template for it, so you could potentially create your own.

The way SelectedScale works is that "1.0,1.0" means X value is 100%, and Y value is 100%. I forgot that SelectedOffset is actually "x,y,z", and I would adjust things by decimal points until you understand what each one can do. With the code you keep posting, you are probably seeing odd results because you are trying to combine the legacy wheel properties with the new wheel properties. Instead, a good starting point is the default theme. Here's the example from one of the platform vertical wheels from the default theme, but I do recommend just diving into the default theme files, and use that as a resource, along with the documentation.pdf: <coverFlow:FlowControl x:Name="FlowControl" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" SelectedOffset="0,0,1" CurveAmount="0" CameraZPosition="3.0" PageSize="8" Columns="1" Endless="True" SelectedScale="1.4,1.4" ItemSpacing="0,-0.8" SelectedItemSpacing="0,-0.6">

Check for SelectedScale and SelectedOffsetProperty in the doc, using them in the same spot as the ItemSpacing. SelectedScale is what you are looking for, while SelectedOffsetProperty would then allow you to position that item to where you want it to be (if you want to move it from center). Something like <coverFlow:FlowControl SelectedScale="x,y" SelectedOffsetProperty="x,y" />

Just in case someone is reading this thread in the future, the preferred way to add images to a playlist is, in LaunchBox, right click the playlist and choose Edit. On the right side of the edit window there's an images section where you can manage the images for that playlist.

Have you use the itemspacing property on the coverflow itself? Something like: <coverFlow:FlowControl ItemSpacing="x,y" />

This means you are on a beta, which are work-in-progress builds, and not related to what this thread is about. If on a beta, best to check the beta section of the forums to get caught up on beta specific items.

The only thing I could think of is for you to delete your EmuMovies credentials from LB, restart the app and then enter them in again. The setting should reside in your LaunchBox\Data\Settings.xml file. You could also try and remove that file temporarily, relaunching LB and seeing if entering in your credentials again works. If that doesn't work, deleting the app could be an option, it shouldn't delete any of your actual library, since deleting the app won't touch the LaunchBox folder and everything inside. So, it's fairly safe to delete the app and install it again, but if you want to be safe.

Design-wise, what are you trying to accomplish?

I think you misunderstand. EmuMovies set up a separate way for LaunchBox to connect to their services. It will use your same EmuMovies credentials, but it's not hitting the same server as if you were to use their own services, like their syncing app. LaunchBox has no way of knowing why a particular user may be having connection issues with EmuMovies services, all we can really do is confirm whether LaunchBox's specific connection to their services is working or not through the app. I just checked again for you and I have confirmed that the connection to their very specific servers through LaunchBox is currently working. This would point to some sort of issue with your EmuMovies account when hitting the special servers that they set up for us, and unfortunately the only people that could help you with that would be the EmuMovies team.

LaunchBox uses a different API and an entirely different server than their own tools, so it makes sense that you wouldn't see the same thing happening between them. Since I've confirmed that their API and their server does seem to be functional through LaunchBox, I'm not sure a reinstall makes sense, but you could always give it a go. It could be as simple as a mistake with your credentials in LaunchBox.

Beta 6 is out to help fix the issues some users were having with their Options menu. Fixed: Options menu refusing to open for some users due to a conflicting process
