    It doesn't like the window size parameters it was given, which implies something in Kodi has changed and AutoHotkey isn't detecting what it needs to detect to get size and position information, I am guessing you have a multi monitor setup. If you check the logs in Kodi's userdata/addon_data/script.launchbox.launcher/scripts folder it will show either invalid or blank where numbers should be for "Loading blank gui" info. If post a sanitized launcher log it will give me more information. I will try and take a look at it more this weekend.

    Thanks for getting back. I do have multi monitor setup  (4k monitor + 4k TV, with monitor as primary). It works great when using kodi v20.1, so I went back to it. It may be an issue in the kodi 21.0.2 as it is a release candidate. If I get some free time I will test again or maybe when they they have another update. I will make sure to check the log. Thanks

    My guy ..... this is clean. Sheesh must have taken a while, nicely done 👏 👏 👏

    Thank you my friend. I am working on an update as we speak and hope to have it done and maybe uploaded today or tomorrow.

  2. Hey Dave: Not sure if this has been reported or not, but when doing Wheel Item Template, the very last option for the "Image Canvas is Foreground. When wheel item is not selected Opacity" it's not working for me. It works fine on the GameWheel. See screenshots (platform, not game):

    1.thumb.jpg.42f54db2cd1b9cb4ce220dc3dc58ca9c.jpg

    and not selected

    It isn't working in CTC or the theme after it's published either.

    @The Papaw @Thornback Another quick update to the pop out window....

    **Added - The new pop out game details window icon is now in. Simply choose the game and the icon appears in the top right of the game details panel.

    **Changed - The default size of the pop out window is now almost full screen, allowing you to still see the interface behind but taking full advantage of the screen of the game details.

    Looks awesome, I knew you'd figure it out! B|

    @The Papaw Apparently I can make it a certain size as default but it will always default to the size I set it, so I was thinking full screen is that what you were thinking also? 

    Not sure, depends on how you need to edit it, if by % or by pixel size. I think it is a good height, but needs to be 2-3 times wider. The dialog (pop-out) that opens is a regular windows windows that has a full screen option at the top right.

    I don't know enough about the variables used though, if monitor resolution/screen size factors into it, etc. ya know.

    If this helps, here is what I see on a 4K monitor: 

    Screenshot 1 is original

    Width stretch that stretches banner some, maybe a bit much even

    I never adjusted height

    @The Papaw Yes @neil9000 is correct, I have uploaded the theme to the LB team and it will be in the theme manager when they have tested it. So until then you would just download the forum version (4.4) As for the remembering the window size that is exactly what I thought after testing it, I will look into it but it might be a LB issue and not theme specific issue.

    I think the re-sizing is more a LB theme, as I tried it with one of @faeran's themes and it doesn't remember the re-size either (it actually threw error if the re-size was small enough to were it needed to move items downward (line wrap)). As far as the other, was just giving feedback.

    Another question about the pop-out, should they remember re-sizing? It looks good BTW, but doesn't remember the resizing

    Themes in the app need extensive testing by the devs before inclusion, so i doubt it would be available in app yet, you would need to download it from the forum instead.

    Yes Sir, I just didn't know if this was one of them

    Just curious, is it suppose to show the update in the LB Theme Manage? If so, it isn't yet

    its the video, it has a black border only on the right hand side, it displays this way too within the CTC

    Something is very strange, I think it is actually WMP.

    If I play the videos in question with Movies & TV player (not sure if that is the actual name of the newer windows player) or if I load it into Premiere Pro, I don't see any black border. So I tried changing the video player to VLC in BB and no more black border. Strange, I am not sure what would be the best way to approach this one, not for me personally, but other community folks that might be having this issue as well because of WMP. We already know CTC created themes doesn't play as well with VLC as well as it does with WMP.

    Change bigbox settings to use windows media player instead of vlc

    It was. I noticed it is doing it on oddball sized videos (like from steam). I replaced one with a youtube video that was 1280x720 and it works fine, it seem to not be stretching the oddball ones quite right.

    I noticed the video options doesn't provide a stretch BOTH like images, is it only stretching it one way, like vertical only?? Just curious

  5. @y2guru Howdy Dave:

    Not sure if it's a fix needed in CTC or error on my part. I just noticed that the last theme I did entirely with 2.5 has an issue with selected item video (HorizontalWheel1GamesView) isn't going full screen quite right. Looks right it CTC, I only see it after I publish it. It's like the video is either shifted left or cutting off about 30-40 pixels on the right side or not stretching correctly after it's published.

    Screenshot showing fanart (full screen, stretched) is working correct
    Untitled.thumb.jpg.0e4e91d253b2da566f47c934399b835d.jpg

    Fanart fades out and video fades in at 3 seconds it is missing on the right side (white arrow)
    Untitled-1.thumb.jpg.a87404ff97850ba26bc111e68472cbc2.jpg

    All's fine in the platform views though with the same settings (full screen & stretch)

    Any ideas my friend?

    I must be as old as you, because I love neon!! (question of generation surely): Not without laughing, great theme man! And it's cool, it makes a nice alternative to Neon Arcade!

    We feel that there is a big potential and a real research on the artistic direction, it is important to set the tone, and to instill an atmosphere and you have succeeded,

    can't wait to see how it will evolve;)

    Thank you. Gonna probably wait for CTC 2.5 update before another update, but will try to continue to improve it and better my photoshop skills.
