It will update both the program and its cores to the latest stable version.

I haven't ported this theme to the CTC yet, although the CTC is getting close to be able to support a theme like this, so I may circle back and spend time to do this in the future.

Right click a game, go into Edit > Edit Metadata/Media. On the left side, with all the sections, it's under Metadata > Sort Title

I haven't heavily looked into this, but one would think that a game that has a colon in it wouldn't always be the first in a game series, so if you were to change a global setting of some kind, you would end up messing with the order of other series. So, while not the answer you were looking for (since you said it would take too much time), LaunchBox does have a special field called the Sort Title, for every game, which can change the position of a game in your list, without needing to alter the game's name. You can find this if you edit any game, and go into the Sort Title section.

You would go into the Unified theme files, and find the Views folder, which should be located in the following path: LaunchBox\Themes\Unified\Views In there, you'll see a bunch of xaml files that you can open in your favorite text editor. You'll want to find the file that correlates to the news you want to change and open that (eg. if you use Vertical Wheel 1 for your game view, you'll want to open WheelGamesView.xaml). Then you make the changes that you want. The code is in WPF, so you'll need to know at least a bit to make changes.

Now that I have a clearer head, I'm pretty sure I never officially released the CTC BannerBox files because I didn't actually build the whole thing inside of the CTC (it's currently not possible yet). Maybe I'm remembering that wrong though, but if I'm not, it's actually not possible to load this theme into the CTC yet. Not until CTC 2.4 is released.

It's possible that you didn't unblock the CTC zip file that you downloaded before unzipping it. Use your original download (or download it again), right click the zip file, go into properties, and unblock it. Then extract it to a new location and move the BannerBox CTC files into it. See if that helps. If you publish a theme correctly from the CTC, it's designed to never show errors like that in Big Box.

One thing you could do is create a shortcut to a folder and then add the shortcut as an additional app.

Sure, they are also all available in the default theme.

Some updates to LaunchBox for Android themes: A new theme has been released: Emblem Alisia has been updated to 1.01 - It now uses a font converter to help with font size consistency across more devices Unified Lite has been updated to 1.01 - the layout of the platform logo, video and boxes have been adjust and should now be more dynamic across different devices.

View File Emblem Emblem is a brand new theme for LaunchBox for Android with a focus on banners that are used to display information about a platform and game.

I will just be taking what's already available in the original theme and porting it over to a Big Box theme.

I've taken over the development of this theme. It's about 75% complete, but has been put on hold for now. It may come out later on this summer, if I can find some time to work on it.

The error reads like a theme issue. Looks like in the screenshot you are trying to use Unified Refried? My guess is that inside the view you are loading, for that theme, there's a coding issue.

LaunchBox just uses the Microsoft built-in directx controller support, so there must be some miscommunication happening between that particular controller and directx. You could try a third party controller mapping program that would convert your inputs into an emulated xinput controller. I've had good luck with x360ce in the past.

Assuming you've already imported your PS1 games correctly, and have associated them with a particular Emulator. You would go to Tools > Manage > Emulators, double click on the RetroArch emulator that your PS1 games are pointing to, go into the Associated Platforms section and make sure you have a PS1 entry in there, and that the core dropdown has the correct core selected.

I think you lost me on "RetroArch theme". Do you mean Big Box theme? If you do, and they are game specific clear logos, they are most likely made for a specific theme, and my guess is that you could drag/drop them into the themes folders and they would work. If you are wanting to use them in an unintended theme, it's still possible, but would require more work. Where those images go, are usually inside of a folder path like: LaunchBox\Themes\[theme name]\Images\Games\[random custom image name] Then in the theme's game view you'd like to use them in, you'd have to change the image type code to match the custom image folder name. This process is mapped out inside of the theme documentation.pdf located in your LaunchBox\themes folder.

Are you saying that you have custom categories and you want to add images to those categories? In LaunchBox right click the category, go into Edit, and add the images on the right side of the window, making sure to label each one properly. If you want theme specific overrides, you'll need to place correctly named images into LAUNCHBOX\Themes\[theme name folder]\Platform Categories\[image type folder]\ Both may require image cache refreshes.

The unified theme is a custom Big Box theme that uses custom code. Therefore, in order to make changes to the theme, you'll have to dive into its code and make the changes from in there. All of that is possible if you want to get your hands a little dirty.

This is not a CTC feature, this is just a general user setting in Big Box using the transitionpresenter. There are a number of transitionPresenter elements that can be used in a Big Box theme, and when used, a user has the ability to change what kind of transition will be shown for that element. The CTC can only use 1 of these transition elements by default (the video element). Others would have to be added via source code, and even others (like the game details view element), need to come with a separate xaml file you'll have to code yourself and include with the CTC files.

Did you download it from the LaunchBox Games DB or EmuMovies?

Themes may only contain game or filter views. Enter into a games view and you'll probably see the other views to choose from. While probably not out of the realm of possibility, I wouldn't hold your breath for a long while.

Thanks Vader. However, just remember that when building LaunchBox for Android themes you have to take into account all different screen sizes and resolutions. As an example, here's what it looks like on the Odin Pro: You can always jump in and make a galaxy tab s7 plus specific version of the theme with those changes for your needs.

Sure. In Options, set the Default Secondary Filter to None.
