Yes, I do believe that's a known issue with that theme.

What theme are you using?

It's possible. There are badges that appear in the top right, you'll have to decide what you want to do with them. I can't remember exactly how I coded it all, but it's possible you just need to change the alignment to the parent containers, and potentially adjust the margins.

Probably not what you want to hear, but I have my computer set to sleep, but when it comes out of sleep mode, Big Box remains responsive for me. So, I'm interested to know why it's happening for you. Maybe there are some adjustments to the Windows power options you could make.

If it's playing a preview video, you may have accidentally imported a preview video into LaunchBox, instead of the ROM. However, based on what you are saying here, you should first figure out what ROMset your files came from. That would be pretty important to determine. You said that they work inside of RetroArch, do you remember which core you have working for them?

If you did it multiple times, but it wasn't working, it sounds like you may have some bad data files inside of your LaunchBox\Data\Platforms folder. I would check inside of that folder and make sure you only have 1 file per platform, and no more.

Few things you can do is to only download the image groups that you want to use, and to turn on the media limit option to only download one image per image group. But just to set expectations, LaunchBox has about 9 image groups, and a MAME fullset with default import settings will net you just under 3k games. Let's say each image you download averages around 500Kb, and you only get 1 image for each image group, that would be 9x0.5x3000 = 13.5GB of images.

This is correct. None of that has been tackled yet, so if you are seeing something that is worse, it wouldn't have come from this update. At this point, we recommend that you do not randomize your Screen Transitions, but use one that won't cause you issues. We still need to determine how we want to tackle this one internally, and it may not come with this next update.

Sounds like you may be using a custom theme with an older version of the Game Marquee View file. You can solve this a number of ways, but the easiest way would be to go into Options > Marquee Screen, and enabling the option to Ignore Theme Marquee Views

Beta 2 is out with the following fixes: Fixed: Possible crash with the LaunchBox context menu for GOG games with application paths that don't exist Fixed: The Change View popup in Big Box was sometimes playing the select sound twice when selecting a view Fixed: Videos will now play correctly in more themes when backing into Platform Views and Game Views

Yes, but you would have to jump into the code of that view and duplicate the trigger that is used for SNES to also work for Nintendo Game & Watch.

What format are your games in?

The first 12.16 beta is out now and the thread for it can be found here:

Hey everyone, We are looking to put out a bugfix/QOL update, hopefully next week. In that vein, we have the first beta out and would love help testing the following changes: Improvement: Big Box RAM usage over time has been significantly reduced Improvement: Image region prioritization has been improved in several ways, which should help to reduce any region mismatches Improvement: When first starting LaunchBox as a premium user, game and platform details videos will now be automatically enabled Improvement: Added logic to allow LaunchBox to more accurately identify an additional app as a version instead of an app Fixed: The related game context menu now says "Install" instead of "Play" when a game needs to be installed Fixed: Auto-played music is no longer stopped by loading up game details when the Auto-Play Video setting is off inside of LaunchBox Fixed: Playing music in LaunchBox now pauses video playback in game details Fixed: Auto-played music that was paused when leaving LaunchBox now resumes when you return Fixed: Sometimes backing into a platform view in Big Box would not reload the details and resume video playback Fixed: Big Box platform views were not always respecting the Use Random Game Video setting Fixed: Starting LaunchBox with the Games Missing Media sidebar filter would sometimes throw errors Fixed: The FlowVideo control (used by theme developers) wasn't respecting the Use Random Game Video setting in all circumstances Fixed: Platform categories were not always displaying game totals correctly inside of Big Box Fixed: Some changes made by plugins weren't being saved correctly Beta 2: Fixed: Possible crash with the LaunchBox context menu for GOG games with application paths that don't exist Fixed: The Change View popup in Big Box was sometimes playing the select sound twice when selecting a view Fixed: Videos will now play correctly in more themes when backing into Platform Views and Game Views

My hunch is that it's the Screen Transition. Enable all your transitions, but keep Screen Transition to something like fade and let me know if you still see it.

Yeah, you'll want to post your xaml file, as what's interesting is that you posted the wrong TextBlock earlier in this thread that would only display the date, and not the time, so there's probably another TextBlock in the xaml specifically to display time.

Which theme do you use?

You may want to comment on the file itself, so the creator will get notified and be able to look into it when he has time.

If you would like to find out which program on your computer may be pulling focus away, this seems to be a good program to do so: https://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/Window-Focus-Logger.shtml

Yes. you've basically created a fork of this theme in the CTC. Maybe best to give your version a different name in the CTC and then publish it. Any new changes, you could download the new CTC files and see if there's anything you would like to update from them. CTC is pretty robust that you can copy and paste what you want and apply it to your theme. You could also do this in reverse and apply your changes to any new CTC files that come out for this theme.

All themes that are bundled with Big Box are designed to self-heal themselves. If you create a custom theme, by making a copy, you won't run into this issue. A user also has full control on which views they would like to see. If you go into Options > Views, you can set the default game list you would like to see. You could also create a keyboard or controller mapping to Switch View, and use that to switch views on the fly, while on a games view.

This is all true what @Retro808 posted. You could also just grab the SideBarView.xaml from the Default theme, and copy/paste it over the one in Default Plus.

You would have to remove that code from SideBarView.xaml

You would have to custom edit the theme and remove that code from PlatformFiltersDetailsView.xaml

Can you guys tell us which theme, or theme variation you are using, and whether you are coming from the Game Details page, or do you bypass that?
