    Hi @y2guru,

    I have an issue that maybe you can help me with. The theme that I am working on, once published, BigBox will not load any user defined image or video.

    This is a screenshot from the theme in your creator:

    imagen.thumb.png.92c00e36fed6b99f0ae0b6309100abd3.pngAnd this is how it looks in BigBox (I've tried refreshing the images cache):

    imagen.thumb.png.1dc7a7432b4c1ac6652d4ec50e3f7cfc.pngThe blue stripe on the left and the marquee are platform specific. The cabinet and the video overlay are fixed assets.

    Any idea?

    zip up your published theme from the launchbox/themes folder and send to me directly

    Ok, that is very helpful and thank you. Sorry to keep going back and forth but can you also answer the following:

    1. What happens when you restart BigBox, does it crash immediately or does it choose another theme?
    2. What theme are you switching from when you choose my theme? 

    i just uploaded theme creator 1.0.8.1 and should fix that issue

    Ok. I built this theme for 1080p resolution. This is more than likely the reason it is not working. I am not sure why though because I load it up on your resolution and it works fine. Same on 4K tv and I know that it works on other systems as well but sometimes it does not.  If I find a solution I will post it here for sure. Sorry I don’t have more help to offer.

    probably works for you depending on the DPI you have your resolution set to

    My Win7 64 bit is getting the same error on  startup that chrisk11 is. Here is the error log:

    Is there a repo of previous versions until this is sorted out? Thanks

    Please wait a week or 2, I’m still working on 1.0.8.0 which amongst other things fixes this issue

    Hey there, sorry if this was covered already but I searched and didn't see it. I have never used this app before but wanted to give it a try. This is my second attempt with fresh download each time. Every time I open the app I get a ton of this same error. The error repeats anytime I try access anything else in the default template, after I cleared out of the first set of errors. It does not make the app crash, just can't do anything.

    Is there some dependencies that I am missing?

    Hello, new here and just tried running this for the first time. Win7 SP1 - 64x. I unblocked the zip and unzipped. Tried several times with same result. Also tried on my computer at work, it's also sp1 win7 64 and same error.

    I do not have a computer running win7 as Microsoft discontinued support of win7 earlier this year, I can try building an installer after work today and send it to you but again I have no way of testing it

    Hi @y2guru,

    I have upgraded to version 1.0.7.9 from 1.0.7.7. It might be an issue with my computer, but it seems that the new version is struggling to display the themes (particularly the animations). Please, take a loot at the comparison videos below.

    Any idea?

    Version 1.0.7.7 (transitions are smooth)

     

    Version 1.0.7.9 (transitions are definitely not smooth :))

     

    PS. Thanks for this awesome piece of software!

     

    Hows this?

    This latest version 1.0.7.9 throws me the following error that is seen in the attached image. The previous versions of the Theme Creator work well for me, I'm using Windows 10 Pro and also unlock the .zip before unzipping it. I hope there is some solution to this problem.

    All fixed, download the new 1.0.7.9 ? 

    sorry about that

    The clear logo and system logo are working fine when I switch between games.  It looks like its mostly the game box options and screenshots that are not pulling for me.  Box options being 3D, front and back.  I am assuming its because of my naming or folder structure.

    I have, for instance, my box front images in

    "launchbox\images\Nintendo Entertainment System\Front\"
    "launchbox\images\Nintendo Entertainment System\Front\North America\"

    etc..

    I am wondering if it needs to be named differently than "Front".  Although I never changed it from the default location for it.

     

     

    you will need to change the image priorities within launchbox

    @y2guru I love the revised theme apart from the video bounce. Can I remove this by editing one of the XMLs?

     

    Thank you

    You can download the Community Theme Creator 1.0.7.9 and this theme is included, video bounce has been removed and the UI cleaned up, it comes with clear logo templates that you can use to render all your platforms, platform categories, playlistss and games

    I just setup Theme Creator for the first time and it is not pulling images for me.  I am just working with the Plain n Simple theme to get used to things.  When I select edit under games view and select the meta data type for box art none of those images are appearing for my games.   I tried several image types as well.  Game box front, game box 3d, etc..  I just get image not available on everything.  I do have images for all my games, I just pulled the meta data from LB database.  Is there a way for me to change the default location those images pull from, for the different image types?  Or do you have any suggestions on how I proceed with troubleshooting?  Thanks in advance!  A community theme creator is such a good idea!  Great work!

    So... when the Plain n Simply Theme displays in the editor, are any of the images/videos being displayed?
