Thanks guys! Now it works like a charm.

I kinda got it working by replacing this in Wheel2GamesView.xaml <Image Source="{Binding Path=SelectedGame.BackgroundImagePath}" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="117" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="25" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" Stretch="UniformToFill" > <Image.Effect> <BlurEffect Radius="75" RenderingBias="Performance"/> </Image.Effect> </Image> with this: <transitions:TransitionPresenter TransitionSelector="{Binding BackgroundTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding BackgroundView}" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="117" Grid.Column="0" Grid.ColumnSpan="25" Height="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualHeight}" Width="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualWidth}" IsContentVideo="true" /> Now there's a delay and transition animation between the background images. I know it's probably totally butchered (I have no experience with XML) but it kinda works Sadly I don't have any ideas how to implement blur to this.

The hard drive is actually pretty old and probably very slow. Is there an easy way to move it to my SSD without doing everything again manually? Images are automatically downloaded. Edit: Average file size seems to be 2,77 MB, .jpg and something like 2100 x 1534 Edit2: I managed to find the file location settings for media and moved the background images into my SSD. No effect

Now that I think about it. The only difference between your theme and every other theme I have tested is how it handles the background changing. Yours tries to change the background for every game you ran through the list. The other themes change the background only if you stop for a second in the list. Though it is pretty weird that my system cannot handle this when everyone else's can.

Thanks for the quick reply! I actually tried already removing just the background blur-effect and it didn't make any difference. .NET framework is up to date and so is Windows 10 (well I don't have the latest creators fall update yet). I've also tried the usual general performance tweaks from here: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/35368-bigbox-performance-and-how-to-make-it-better/ , tried removing all transition animations etc. My system is relatively good: 2500k @ 4,4Ghz, gtx 1070 so it shouldn't be the problem. Also, I have less than 30 roms and only 3 platforms so that isn't the problem either. User Ripklawe seems to have similar problem in this thread: https://forums.launchbox-app.com/topic/39319-background-images-question/ (If you read the whole short thread) Though he seems to have similar problem with every custom theme. I've tried CleanBG theme with rather similar gameview (with game dependent background) and it doesn't have any performance issues and as I said the two default themes don't have either. This isn't a huge issue because the theme is really nice looking even with white background, but it would be interesting to find the culprit. Cheers!

Hi! Am I the only one who is having performance issues with this theme? Background images are causing major stuttering for me while scrolling through gamelist. This happens in every view mode. I disabled background entirely from the xaml-file and now it runs like a dream. Its especially weird because I have above average desktop computer and background images don't cause any stuttering in defaul themes.
