Good deal. If you want to make sure this new theme will take on new future theme changes to Default more easily, you could delete every xaml file out of your Views folder, other than ControlsView.xaml. This will make your theme fall back to the default theme, other than your one change you made to the controls view/buttons bar.

You linked to xamarin.forms page but are posting in the pause themes section, which uses WPF. Are you trying to build a pause theme for Big Box?

This would probably be the easiest way to get what you want: Make a copy of the Default theme in LaunchBox\LBThemes, call it whatever you like. Go into LaunchBox\LBThemes\[theme name]\Views, and open the ControlsView.xaml file Find this line: <Grid Background="#D0111111"> Switch it to this: <Grid Background="#111111"> In LaunchBox, switch to your new theme.

This means that when you imported your games, you told LaunchBox to use the 2048 core with RetroArch, as your emulator for 3DS games. @bundangdon is correct that you can adjust this in the Associated Platforms area under your RetroArch emulator (found under Tools > Manage > Emulators).

I believe this is just a design choice for the default theme. You would have change the way the bottom bar acts by creating a custom theme, or use one of the themes available within the Tools > Manage LaunchBox Themes window (or here on the forums).

Beta 2 has been released with the following changes: Improvement: LaunchBox themes can now use theme specific media by creating the same folder structure used in Big Box themes. Fixed: Epic Games Import Wizard is once again working Fixed: Repairing or Updating a theme that is in use via the LaunchBox Themes Manager would sometimes fail to apply the theme correctly Fixed: Corrected Platform Details strings inside of Big Box (introduced in 12.14) Fixed: A Popup within Big Box's Themes Manager was not focusing properly on the selected item within its list (introduced in 12.14) Fixed: FlowImage can now be used inside of LaunchBox Fixed: Preview images inside of LaunchBox's Carousel control could sometimes show up blurry due to bad DPI metadata embedded in the image itself Fixed: Images removed from the Add/Edit Playlist window were not being removed correctly Fixed: In Big Box, the Platform Marquee was not being loaded when returning from a Game view (introduced in 12.14) Fixed: In LaunchBox, videos were not always being displayed correctly in Platform Details

While not the same, LaunchBox for Android has the ability to mark games as favorites, and then list them at the top of your game list.

Only certain platform/filter views will play platform videos, like Wheel with Details. Here's a video showing how you can install themes on LaunchBox for Android:

View File Faeran Startups - (Launching Views for LaunchBox for Android) Now that Launching Views are themeable in LaunchBox for Android, I was playing around with making a bunch of them. I will be using this post for any extra Launching Views that I made that don't quite fit into a particular theme. Therefore, this download will only add my collection of Launching Views to LaunchBox for Android that are not tied to any theme. When I come up with an idea for another Launching View, I will update this file with it. What's Included Big Logo - Influenced by Surhvivors great Startup Theme for Big Box Pure Color - Dynamically changing colors inspired by the Colorful theme by Viking Installation Instructions Extract the [theme folder] from zip file (Make sure you do not create a second folder while extracting, creating a [theme folder]\[theme folder]\files situation). Place folder on your Android device, inside of the LaunchBox\Themes folder. In LaunchBox for Android, navigate to intended Game View and click on the top-right menu button and select View Settings. Find Launching View and select a new one from the menu. Submitter faeran Submitted 08/30/2022 Category Custom Themes  

Based on your screenshot, it looks similar to problematic integrated graphics cards. Certain integrated graphic drivers have issues with WPF programs. I believe it's caused by their hardware acceleration mode, which you can disable but does require messing with the registry. I would definitely make sure you have the latest graphic drivers from the manufacturer. Some people have said it helped when they did that.

Yeah, after the page renders, it would require a storyboard to say "at this time make this go away and make this appear". That's where the limitation is with Xamarin.Forms.

It's a remnant of an old keyboard view file. Deleting the keyboard view file for those problematic themes should solve your issue with them. You can find it in: LaunchBox\Themes\[theme name]\Views\KeyboardView.xaml

Sorry to say that a fade is animation

Good to know that migrated well to the Odin. Sounds like a good idea, however Xamarin.Forms doesn't actually have native animation support, so we may be stuck there at the moment.

If you have LaunchBox for Android installed, check out the Documentation.pdf file, which will be located in your LaunchBox\Themes folder on your device. Here's a quick intro video you can watch as well:

Can you take a picture of what you are seeing and post it here?

The old default theme was not really made to support resolution sizes this low. The new default design keyboard should better support it (although I haven't tested), so what you could try is make a copy of the Old Default theme folder inside of LaunchBox\Themes. Call the theme whatever you like. Now in your newly created theme delete the following file: LaunchBox\Themes\[theme name]\Views\KeyboardView.xaml Now load up Big Box and switch to your new theme.

View File Pure I created Pure to be a lightweight custom LaunchBox for Android theme for my Retroid Pocket 2+. This means that it's geared towards a 640x480 screen, is not optimized for portrait mode, and only uses box front images. This theme also demonstrates the use of a resource dictionary of colors that is used to change the frame color around the selected item based on the game's platform. A launching view is also included.

At this point, there are things that you can do on your end that could help out with attract mode crashing: Use VLC instead of WMP. WMP has a known memory leak that can crop up after a prolonged period of time when using Attract mode. You could have certain types of videos that are partially corrupted, or in a deprecated file format (like flv), that could be causing the crash.

If you are referring to images within the wheel, it's because of the image cache. You'll need to clear it in order to see your changes reflected. Find the setting in Options > Image Cache.

The CTC is looking for images like 2.8.png If that's not working for you, then it's most likely just a configuration issue that you'll have to solve within the CTC itself. A lot of people have shared their CTC project files that you can use to learn from if you are having issues with getting it to display. Here's one that seems to have star rating images as part of it:
