Thanks for the heads up. A simple change in the COMMUNITY Theme Creator, should be forced to 16:9 for the next release.

Hi @Albatross. This is only possible using the new FlowControl that was introduced in version 11.10. You can read up on it in the Documentation.pdf (located in LaunchBox\Themes folder), and see examples of it in the default theme, like you mentioned. The COMMUNITY Theme Creator doesn't yet support the new FlowControl, which is why you don't see the option in there. It's definitely planned, and I know @y2guru is hard at work trying to integrate the new FlowControl into it. For now, you'll have to manually add the code to any theme that you create.

Beta 2 is out now with the following changes: Improvement: Added Complete, Favorite, and Installed fields to the new filter button Fixed: The filter button's "Save to Playlist" feature should now work with all sidebar drop-down filters Fixed: Added the new filter button to the "Old Default" theme

Hi @HopelessArcader. Right-click Arcade (the one without the arrow) and choose Edit. Go into the Parents tab and make your changes in there. You have control on where you want to see your Arcade platform show up in your hierarchy. The Arcade with the arrow, is your Arcade Category, where you can add different arcade platforms/playlists to it.

Changing colors will be fairly easy once it's out, as you will be able to do it in the COMMUNITY Theme Creator. In the meantime, if there's a color missing and if you know what it is, post it here and I'll add it.

The 11.18 beta thread is now out and can be found here:

Hi everyone. The 11.18 Beta 1 is now out with the following changes: New Feature: Filtering games in LaunchBox is now much more flexible; you can filter to pretty much anything on the fly with the new filter button in the left-hand sidebar, next to the search box New Feature: Anything you filter on the fly with the above new feature can be easily saved to a dynamic playlist Improvement: Performance while selecting games in LaunchBox is now faster due to improvements in populating the game details sidebar Fixed: Login screen would immediately close when checking "Force New Login" in the XBOX import wizard if you had previously logged in Fixed: The ROM import wizard wasn't always importing all games when using MAME metadata (the full-set importer was unaffected) Fixed: The keyboard focus border wasn't being drawn correctly in LaunchBox's Grid View with the default theme (recently introduced) Fixed: Big Box CoverFlow views can once again use "Box" as image type in addition to "Boxes" (recently introduced theme compatibility issue that was affecting some older themes) Thanks for the help with beta testing LaunchBox.

Hi @Retrofrogg. I haven't been able to duplicate this on my end. Does this happen every time you are scrolling through LaunchBox, or is it more random? Also: Do you have videos set to auto-play? Are your options set to use VLC or WMP?

Hi @pocket. While I've never used MAME 2003 core, you made me curious to do some research on it. Looks like it requires the 0.78 MAME ROM set. So, I got one and went through the process of importing it all and getting it ready. I didn't run into any "Audio sample not found" warnings though. Which process did you use to import your ROMs into LaunchBox and which games are you seeing that warning?

I see. It's quite possible it's a webm videos compatibility issue with the new flowvideo control, although I don't have any videos to test with. LaunchBox has it's own bundled VLC player, and therefore it doesn't use any VLC players you have installed on your computer. So, that would be why updating your VLC player wouldn't have worked.

Hi @mavisbeacon. First, thanks for teaching me typing. I've tried to reproduce the issue you've been having but have been unable to. Whether I'm using VLC or WMP, the theme seems to act normally on my system. Definitely wondering what's happening with your system. I did do a fresh publish of the theme out of the COMMUNITY Theme Creator and posted it just now, just in case it may have some fixes since the last time I did that. I doubt it will fix your issue, but worth a shot.

Hi @Tanooki_Style. LaunchBox does need that version of .NET core. Are you able to confirm whether you downloaded and installed the .NET Desktop Runtime 3.1.18 (middle one on the right, x64 version more than likely). https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/3.1

Hi @cheguewara. There's currently no way to exclude directories or only tell it to look for a particular set of names. This is because LaunchBox allows you to basically add anything you want into it. You do have the option to select only the files you want to import and then drag and drop them into LaunchBox. I'd definitely recommend to keep your files and folders all organized, it definitely goes a long way. If you end up with more than 1 image per image type, LaunchBox will keep all of them and append a number to the end of each file [game-name]-01, [game-name]-02.. etc.

Hi @dmaker. Try this: On any platform view, hold down on a platform until the context menu appears. Delete should be one of the options.

It's definitely in the works, unsure of an ETA at this point, as I only have the revamped text view (mostly) done. On another note, the more people I can get testing the COMMUNITY Theme Creator version of Colorful, the better: Much appreciated for anyone willing to test, as it will eventually replace the version of Colorful on the forums and within Big Box.
