    @faeran It seems like the default view/fallback for platforms that are not themed yet, doesn't seem to play videos when you have VLC media player set as your default player.  If you use Windows Media Player it does seem to play videos though.  Thought I'd let you know.  Other than that, great them as usual :)

    Nothing big. I've changed the position of the year + platform and the developer row, changed the video height to be dynamic and re-arranged some fields in the side panel.

    @CriticalCid Would you mind sharing your edited version?

    FYI, just found something interesting.  I opened LB, enabled debugging, then entered BB with this theme already selected, moved around the theme, selected different platforms, etc, then closed it.  It closed immediately as it should.  So, I then opened BB again, when into options/views, did not make any changes, then exited that and closed BB, and it's now hung up again.  Maybe the issue is related to something in the options/views?  Waiting for BB to close out properly before attaching the logs... but thought I'd mention my findings while trying to reproduce the issue.

    The log files would be helpful in this case. Hopefully that will clue us in to what's going on.

    No problem.  I'll turn on debugging and reproduce the issue.  Do I need to wait for BB to finally close before sending you the log.... it might take a while looking as how it's going so far?

    @CDBlue @CMOSS @neil9000 @Mr. RetroLust @Mute64

    Some important notes:

    • If LaunchBox or Big Box isn't closing properly, that isn't a theme issue; it's an issue with LaunchBox or Big Box.
    • The LaunchBox and Big Box processes do not immediately close after the windows disappear. This is because they still save data in the background after closing. It's important to give the processes a minute or two after closing before assuming that they're locked up and killing them, or you may end up with corrupted data.
    • That said, we fixed a number of minor issues in the closing processes for 10.14. Previous versions did have some issues there, but they should be fixed.

    Please let me know if anyone is still seeing any issues with LaunchBox or Big Box closing in the 10.14 release. Remember to wait a few minutes before reporting it as an issue though.

    Hi Jason, as mentioned above I can report that something is still happening as of 10.14 (which I'm running)... but only with certain themes like this one, which is why I thought it might be theme (or more likely theme creator related perhaps).  I closed BigBox (running this theme) and about 5 minutes later it's still running in the background.  It's not frozen, as it does use up CPU/Mem every once in a while, but mostly it remains unchanged from this screenshot.  If I switch to another theme, such as CoverBox (as an example), when I close BB, it closes and ends the process in the background within a minute.  Let me know if you need me to turn on any logging or provide you with anything.

    Thanks @CDBlue. I doubt it has something to do with how I'm creating the themes. The Creator is pretty structured in how it works.

    Which themes were created in the theme creator that you feel don't have this problem? I can bring it up with y2guru and see if he can identify.

    Artbook and Retro Console are two that I can think of that I've tried recently that do not have this issue.  I believe this one and Banner Box did that strange behavior for me though.  Right now I'm using mostly CoverBox, and it also has no issue.

    Hey @faeran, fist of all thx for all these themes you've been putting out lately.  Really great stuff, this one in particular is high on my list of must have's. I've noticed something though.  It seems like most of your recent themes seem to cause BigBox to not close properly when I exit it.  It stays running in the process list for quite a while, sometime I need to actually kill the process via task manager in order to relaunch BB.  I'm not sure if it's related to the Theme Creator, or something specific on how to create your themes.  I don't think I've noticed it with any other themes created by authors who also used the Community Theme Creator, but I am not 100% sure on that.  Anyway, I thought I'd mention it in case it's an issue that anyone else is having, and it might be worth looking into.

    I was hoping for this to be a nice clean theme with subtle animations etc.... my expectations were well met :)  Excellent job! I look forward to this theme maturing and being officially released.
