Hi @HarryFlowers. Glad you have been enjoying the theme. For the stretching, you'll find a bunch of platform specific game xaml files inside of the following folder: LaunchBox\Themes\The POC\Views\WallGamesView There should be one for Sony PlayStation. You might have your platform named something different. If so, rename it to whatever your platform is called. For Sega Saturn, make a copy of a platform file that has similar size as your Sega Saturn boxes. Potentially Sony PlayStation might be a good fit, so make a copy of that and give it the same name as your Sega Saturn platform. You can essentially do this for any of your platforms where you need a specific size box. As you can tell, the rectangle portrait boxes are the default. As far as that black fade behind the boxes go. If I remember correctly, it's there to make sure that it remains clean in-between the boxes. You can remove it, but it might look a bit messy if you do. You can remove it from WallGamesView.xaml by deleting all this code: <!-- Rectangle 1 --> <Grid x:Name="Rectangle1" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Visibility="Visible" Width="{Binding ElementName=Grid2container, Path=ActualWidth}" Height="{Binding ElementName=Grid2container, Path=ActualHeight}" RenderTransformOrigin="0.5,0.5" Panel.ZIndex="10" > <Grid> <Rectangle x:Name="Rectangle1rect" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Fill="{StaticResource Gradient1}" Opacity="1.0" Stretch="Fill" RenderTransformOrigin=".5,.5" Width="{Binding ElementName=Rectangle1,Path=ActualWidth}" Height="{Binding ElementName=Rectangle1,Path=ActualHeight}"> <Rectangle.RenderTransform> <TransformGroup> <RotateTransform Angle="0" /> <ScaleTransform ScaleX="1" ScaleY="1" /> <SkewTransform AngleX="0" AngleY="0" /> </TransformGroup> </Rectangle.RenderTransform> </Rectangle> </Grid> <Grid.RenderTransform> <TransformGroup> <SkewTransform AngleX="0" AngleY="0"/> <RotateTransform Angle="0"/> <TranslateTransform X="0" Y=" 0"/> </TransformGroup> </Grid.RenderTransform> </Grid> <Grid.RenderTransform> <TransformGroup> <RotateTransform Angle="0" /> <ScaleTransform ScaleX="1" ScaleY="1" /> <SkewTransform AngleX="0" AngleY="0" /> </TransformGroup> </Grid.RenderTransform> <Grid.Style> <Style TargetType="Grid" > <Setter Property="Width" Value="{Binding ElementName=Grid2,Path=ActualWidth}" /> <Setter Property="Height" Value="{Binding ElementName=Grid2,Path=ActualHeight}" /> <Style.Triggers> <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=Grid2, Path=Width}" Value="NaN" > <Setter Property="Width" Value="Auto" /> </DataTrigger> <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding ElementName=Grid2, Path=Height}" Value="NaN" > <Setter Property="Height" Value="Auto" /> </DataTrigger> </Style.Triggers> </Style> </Grid.Style> </Grid> <Grid.RenderTransform> <TransformGroup> <SkewTransform AngleX="0" AngleY="0"/> <RotateTransform Angle="0"/> <TranslateTransform X="{Binding ElementName=Canvas,Path=ActualWidth,Converter={StaticResource ScalePropertyValueD},ConverterParameter=X;-333.3333333333333;2560}" Y="{Binding ElementName=Canvas,Path=ActualHeight,Converter={StaticResource ScalePropertyValueD},ConverterParameter=Y;0;1440}" /> </TransformGroup> </Grid.RenderTransform> </Grid> You'll also have to do this for every platform specific game xaml file that's inside of: LaunchBox\Themes\The POC\Views\WallGamesView I haven't tested this, but I'm pretty sure it should work.

Next release I'll add an experimental Platform View 3 where the start of all animations will be cut in half so you can get a feel for it. It means you'll have less time while navigating the wheel before things start animating away, so for slow scrollers it may not be ideal. I'll also have the box size fixed on the text games view.

Screenshots should now make an appearance in version 2.01, out now on the forums.

While this is a confirmed issue on EmuMovies end, if you do run into EmuMovies download issues, we encourage you to open up a support ticket on their website: https://emumovies.com/support/

Based on the example above, it would be: <ItemsControl ItemsSource="{Binding Game.AlternateNames}" > <ItemsControl.ItemTemplate> <DataTemplate> <TextBlock Text="{Binding Name}" Foreground="#FFFFFFFF" /> </DataTemplate> </ItemsControl.ItemTemplate> </ItemsControl>

The metadata is local. However, if you are missing boxart, they do get downloaded from the LaunchBox Games Database. This is an EmuMovies server issue. We will see what we can do about poking them about it. If you import using the new MAME Arcade Full Set wizard, then you'll see that rompath argument, which helps user get up and running quickly, without having to open MAME or dive into any ini files first. Like JoeViking mentioned, you can either remove it from the command line which will then read your mame.ini file's paths, or add your CHD folder path to the command line. Either one will work for your specific case.

The first release won't have theming capabilities in Big Box, but the plan is to eventually allow for this in the future.

Beta 3 is out with the following: Fixed: Navigating with a controller in Big Box's Related Games pop-up.

Thanks! We'll have this fixed for the next beta.

Beta 2 has been released with the following: New Feature - Related Games has been added to Big Box. It can be accessed via the Game Details menu Fixed - The View Achievements pop-up within the Pause Screens was improperly displaying the tab item headers Fixed - Opening the Edit Emulator window would clear settings for some emulators (introduced in 12.10 beta 1)

If I had to guess, there may be some disconnect between where LaunchBox thinks your images are, and where they actually are. Your videos show indication that you may have some cached clear logo images, but then LaunchBox is having a hard time finding your actual clear logo image. Are you able to check your Images folders and make sure that images do exist in the correct folders? Maybe a screenshot of what they look like in your Clear Logos. Also, in LaunchBox, right click a platform, go into the folder tab, and take a screenshot of the clear logo folder path.

Thanks SpaceMidget. This is a known bug in the latest beta. It will be fixed for the next one.

The last community poll was last year. A new one is on the way though, so stay tuned.

There are a bunch of reasons to have the black bars there. I do feel like I mentioned this somewhere before, maybe in the beta thread that it was part of. It will remain in the default theme, but we made it so it's themeable for custom themes. This also is true for the game banner. So while possible with custom themes, we won't be adding it to the default. These don't appear to be related with the beta, you may want to start a separate thread for them. EmuMovies is definitely out of our control. What was in our control was the cancel button we added to their queries.

While you can edit the music notification's style and contents, I don't believe there's a way to edit its size and position. With a custom theme, you can edit the MusicNotificationView.xaml file, which is inside of LaunchBox\Themes\[theme name]\Views (if it's not there, you can copy and paste the one from the default theme). You cannot directly edit the themes that come with Big Box, which include the Default and CriticalZoneV2 - Default themes.

Glad you figured it out. For LaunchBox themes, the code will always be available in the Default theme.

If you don't want them in the actual wheel, then you can add them as an image element within your view. If you are using the CTC, then you create a folder inside of your project's Media folder. Call it whatever you want. Place your images in there. Then when you Edit a view, create an Image Element and choose: Image to display: Metadata Metadata image: Platform Image folder: [choose your folder you created above]

If you want them inside of your Wheel, make sure they are all named the same as your Platforms in LaunchBox, and then place them inside of this folder: For Platforms: LAUNCHBOX\Themes\[your theme]\Images\Platforms\Clear Logo For Categories: LAUNCHBOX\Themes\[your theme]\Images\Categories\Clear Logo For Playlists: LAUNCHBOX\Themes\[your theme]\Images\Playlists\Clear Logo Then refresh your image cache.

Sorry to hear Andy, but glad you are on the mend.

Please continue to use the forums to release your themes and get the bugs out. Then, when you are ready, upload your theme to the Themes Manager. At that point, we may provide some feedback for improvement.

At the moment, this is not currently possible, but on the long list of items to investigate. If you'd like, you can make a formal request we can keep track of using the HELP & SUPPORT > REQUEST A FEATURE link at the top of the page.
