Thanks everyone. Super happy to be on the team, and excitedly looking forward to all the wonderful things to come. ?

Hi @Stigt. Kind of curious. If you moved those screenshot images to another folder (like your downloads folder), and then tried to import them, does it work? Just a guess, but there may be something strange going on with file/folder locking (or a permissions thing), either with the folder you are trying to add the images to, or the images you are trying to add to the folder.

Hi @Loud_Lou. Normally, you shouldn't need to rename your files or game titles in order for LaunchBox to launch your games. Are you able to clarify a more specific use case, for particular games, for what you are wanting to do?

Hi @whyevenman. Are you able to show is a screenshot of what you are referring to. Is this because you hide your taskbar?

Yup, that should work. The standard for image files is: [game name]-01 (replacing symbols with underscores... eg Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus becomes Oddworld_ Abe_s Exoddus-01) Alternatively, naming them the same as your imported game file also works.

Hi @tastyratz. This is expected behavior. While you can run another import while media is downloading, you cannot scan added or removed roms. This could potentially change in future versions of LaunchBox.

Hi @jayrox. That does sound like an interesting issue you are having there. I tested on my builds and don't seem to be having the same issue. Are you able to check your platform data files and make sure you don't have anything odd going on in there. You should only have 1 xml file per platform. If you see anything else in there, you will want to clear it out. \\LaunchBox\Data\Platforms

Hi @Charlielorentz, Are you able to try and install LaunchBox over your current broken instance of LaunchBox and see if that makes any difference? Do you remember doing anything specific that may have caused LaunchBox to get messed up?

Hi @Johnny T, I'm assuming that you've imported the folder of your Atari 2600 ROMs. Is this something that has happened to you consistently, or just once? Were you able to tell whether it's finding the exact same games again that it needed to remove?

Hi @Archmage_R, This update definitely addresses a number of under-the-hood issues plaguing people that update more than one game at a time. I can see where you are coming, I like your idea regarding some kind of tickbox. If you'd like, I'd go open up a feature request on bitbucket to get the most exposure for it. It's in the top menu under Help & Support > Request a Feature.

Hi @Zeaede. Big Box does structurally work differently. Big Box has the system and options menus, which are themeable in their own right, but they are separate views.

Hi @universeofgamer. I see what you mean here. There's a few different ways you can accomplish this. Let me first explain what the new version is doing: It uses logic to determine the names of the platform, and then shows the image that is tied to the appropriate animation. I did not anticipate all scenarios, like yours, with you having a music platform. I've added it and will be part of a future release. For now, you can replace your WheelGamesView.xaml file with this one, by dropping it into the following folder: LAUNCHBOX\Themes\Retrotastic\Views WheelGamesView.xaml Let me know if this works for you.

And to add to @neil9000, this is usually some type of theme error. Your error message is alluding to an issue with the Unified Redux theme on your system, and it's pointing to: G:\LaunchBox\Core\Themes\Unified Redux See what happens if you remove/rename the Unified Redux folder in that location, along with: G:\LaunchBox\Themes\Unified Redux

Hi @messiah81, If you have any payment related questions, best thing to do would be to send an email to support and they will be happy to help. You can use this link below: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/contact/ And as of now, unfortunately, there is currently no plans to port LaunchBox to Mac OS. But, please feel free to vote (or add) this feature by clicking above: Help & Support > Request and Feature

Hi @Logrim, There's a few different ways you can accomplish what you are looking for. However, since you are using the theme creator, one solution you may want to consider is to position a black rectangle over all your elements and animate it so that it will immediately fade out after a second or two. This will give enough time for all the elements to load, and provide a nice fade transition into your text list view.

Hey @SiriusVI. Seems like you've done quite a lot to try and solve your colorful theme conundrum. Here's my 2c on how you can try and troubleshoot further. This probably works best if you can create a copy of your existing LaunchBox folder. First, you'll want to remove any LaunchBox plugins, just remove that variable altogether (all files within the LAUNCHBOX\Plugins folder). Test and see if that helps any (don't think it will but it's good to check). Then, start removing playlists from LaunchBox, one by one, and then platforms, testing in-between until you get to a point where the theme is finally functioning properly. This will, at the very least, give you some more info you can work with. Just know that the colorful theme was built using a special themer plugin, which is used to accomplish certain theming functionality. It could potentially be this plugin that's conflicting with either other plugins that you may have used (or are using) to build your particular library. I'm just not entirely sure how. Good luck. Hope this, at the very least, gives you some more insight as to your issue.

Hi @kal9000. This functionality will only work in BannerBox 2.0, which is (currently) only downloadable on the forums.

So, I just want to make sure that what you are testing for each theme is specifically the text based menu platform views, and not any of the other views. I just went through about 8 themes and none of them showed the marquee on text list platform views.

I have this feeling it's not this theme but the particular platform view that this theme uses. Check the default theme whether the marquee shows up with the text list filters view. That should confirm my suspicions.
