    Loving this theme, and the awesome game backgrounds you guys are making! Hope to contribute a few myself at some point. I was wondering, would it be possible to have a view without the box art? The game backgrounds are so great, sometimes it would be nice to not have them blocked. And/or, is there a setting that can adjust the size of the box art? Thanks!

    Hey Retro, thanks for the reply. Yes I'm aware of the setting, I was just thinking how useful it would be if it could be applied per platform/playlist. If others are also interested, I'll create a BitBucket request.

    I love it -- thanks for making this!

    I was thinking, now that we can use a different theme with each platform/playlist, and the themes have become more graphically impressive over time, that it would be super useful to have the option to choose theme video vs. gameplay video by platform/playlist. I can understand why in the past it wasn't necessary, but certain themes look much better with the theme video, and others seem designed to have the gameplay video playing (with more artwork around the video). Curious if anyone else thinks this would be a useful option to have. R

    These are great! Thanks for sharing.

    Wow, this theme is truly spectacular. I'm not sure I was able to appreciate the artwork until I saw it running on my system. Each platform is detailed and beautiful. Giving each system a different background in the platform view really takes things to another level. Well done! There's only one problem. Now I'm going to want to obsessively create backgrounds for each and every playlist but I have no time or skill. Seriously though, is there software other than photoshop that can manipulate these files? And can you recommend any simple tutorials that might be helpful? Again, congrats on this theme, it's absolutely amazing.

    This is great! I can finally use platform categories without clogging up the platform list. Thank you! Would you ever consider allowing a playlist or platform to be in multiple platform categories? (So for example you could have a "Handhelds" category and "Nintendo Handhelds" category. With that kind of flexibility you almost wouldn't need folders.

    My playlists marked under a platform category are still showing up in the platform list. (In BigBox) UPDATE: Actually they're only appearing in a text view.

    Pretty sure the game options screen doesn't work in Cover Box themes.

    Gotcha. I had Malwarebyes installed but was not using it. I did a complete un-install and I'll see how that goes. That's for the quick feedback!

    I'm not sure exactly which update this started happening with, since I haven't used LaunchBox for awhile (as opposed to BigBox) but at least starting with beta 6, and now with 8.6 official release, I'm having many spinning beachballs and crashes in LaunchBox. If I select all games in a platform (MAME for example) the screen will shift slightly and I'll get the beachball. It never will go away unless I hard-quit. Happened several times now after a restart. Thanks, R

    I'd be happy to beta test the theme in 1080p.

    Love this! Question -- how do you hide the details sidebar? Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place but I don't see it in the change log.

    I think people waiting for LaunchBox to replace Rocket Launcher's features will be disappointed. Sure it'll be nice for non-RL users to have some of these additions. But I doubt LaunchBox will ever do: pause you can customize, loading screens, key-mapping by emulator/platform/game & multiple bezel controls. I love LaunchBox and hope I'm wrong! But I also don't mind using LaunchBox + RL.

    I use this one to switch between horizontal and vertical. It attaches to the back of my cabinet. I pull the monitor out slightly, then rotate. Works great! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MIBN16O/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Nice! What vertical theme are you using for Big Box?
  17. alnyden
    I didn't combine the two versions, what I'm doing is using the older version with the text view on certain platforms and the new version on others. To do that, I re-named the old version NostalgiaOld. Then I had to go into the View files, searched for "Nostalgia" and changed them to "NostalgiaOld" when it was part of a link to a file. If there's a way to move the old text view into the new version, that would be even better I suppose.

    In Lanchbox Next, for text view, the heading says "Community Star Rating" instead of "# of Votes". (The actual Community Star Rating column is correct)

    Working great and performance is much improved from 1.2! Only thing I noticed is Collecovision videos are not fitting properly in the monitor. Also, in the old text view for a playlist, I think the name of the playlist was at the top, and now it shows the system name instead. I could see an argument either way but personally I preferred having the playlist name up top. Thanks for the fixes and love having Apple II included!
  20. alnyden
    There is an option in Bigbox to launch in Playlist view. To switch to the other views, though, you'll have to use the hotkeys.

    Okay, I'll wait for the next update then. I'll give this a shot. Thanks for the tip!

    I got it working! I re-installed the Default theme and removed some plug-ins. Not sure what did the trick but it's better now. Thanks Jason.
  23. alnyden
    Sorry I haven't had time to troubleshoot the theme yet, but I should do it soon. As for the old text view, I do use it a lot since you added the feature of having fan art background, which is nice for specific playlists. Curious -- how many files would I have to tweak if I wanted to rename the theme to keep using the old version for certain platforms?

    Now I'm getting error messages in other themes, such as this one in coverbox. All I did was insert some code into one of the views In City Hunter and install the randomizer plugin before all these theme errors started happening. I re-installed City Hunter and removed the plugin, but the errors have continued.
  25. alnyden
    I was using City Hunter, but I re-installed it, and it didn't solve the problem. I've tried other themes as well including the default -- same issue. If you didn't change the code, maybe it does have something to do with the randomizer plugin from @Grila, however, he said that it shouldn't affect the options screen. Also, I have removed the plugin, and restored any changes to the theme. I updated to the latest beta this morn but that didn't fix it either. Any ideas? Thanks, R
