I'm not sure why you'd be seeing the image changes. I'm not seeing what you are. It could be related to your margin or aspect ratio settings within LaunchBox. Check them out and see what happens when you adjust them. The top bar issue is definitely because of different languages. I'll have this fixed in the next update to this theme. This was a choice I made during its development. Design decisions will be made based on a full screen 1080p monitor. However, with the above issue, I'll probably float the working view just below the top bar to compensate for the menu changing its size based on language.

Just add your Arcade - Marquee image type into your Background priority group in your Options. Set it as the highest priority and it will try and load an arcade marquee image first, and then try and fallback to whatever you have under it.

You can do this. However, I tested this out before releasing this theme, and instead of looking at the top of images, you end up looking at the middle of people's bodies, or a messy middle portion of some scenes, so I chose the top as it was personally the better of the two. If you want to give it a try, you can change this by opening the GameDetailsView.xaml file, diving into the code, finding the Binding GameBackgroundImage and changing the VerticalAlignment from Top to Center. This is coded into the BoxesContentView.xaml. You will have to dive into the code and remove the opacity mask. If you do this, the opacity mask will be removed from all image groups. Get rid of this portion of the code: <Border.OpacityMask> <VisualBrush> <VisualBrush.Visual> <Border Height="{Binding ActualHeight, ElementName=ContentImage}" Width="{Binding ActualWidth, ElementName=ContentImage}" Background="#2A2B34" BorderThickness="0" CornerRadius="10"/> </VisualBrush.Visual> </VisualBrush> </Border.OpacityMask>

The size of the image box dynamically shrinks to the size of the largest item within your given row. The only reason it would not be doing this is if you have Dynamic Box Sizing disabled in your options, found under Visuals > Boxes The spot where you see the developer is actually a dynamically changing text binding that will change depending on your Arrange By value (as an example, if you arrange by date, that value will change to the date). Currently, you would have to dive into the code and remove that line if you want to get rid of it. In the future, I could make the option Show Subline affect it's visibility (Same place in the options as above). Something I can add to the list.

Thanks exodus. I have no current plans to do this. Personally, I believe this is a good solution. Anything else there will be compromises. You wouldn't be able to group them together, as that would negate any other form of arranging done by the user. You can force a height and a width, cut off parts of one type of image, but no matter what, you end up causing other problems. If you are not really concerned with authenticity, you can always download packs of uniform images, which would solve that type of issue from the get go.

Guess you better get uploading them to the database But seriously, what I end up doing in my personal build is including game play screenshots in my background priorities. You can also set a default background image to display on a platform-by-platform basis, by right clicking a platform and adding a background image.

You can adjust what you want to see there within your background priority options, under Options > Media > Background Priority
