Rhedox Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Is it possible to disable the dark background/ outline of game titles? I'm using a single color grey background where plain white text would look much better. Here's a quick mockup so you guys know what I'm talking about: http://i.imgur.com/R7IlZyX.png If thats not possible at the moment I'd like to request it. I'd also like to disable this border of selected items: http://i.imgur.com/p1B8TV3.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hi @Rhedox, welcome. You're actually the very first person to ask for both of those options. :) I'll add them to my list. Per the selection one, without the border you wouldn't be able to tell if any game was selected. Is that what you're looking for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhedox Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Nice to hear that. :D Keep up the great work! @The border: the white highlighting of a selected game is more than enough. When multiple games are selected I'd make the last one a bit brighter. That's not really all that important as the border is barely visible at all anyway.

Jason Carr Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Ah, I see what you mean on the border. For some reason I was thinking you were talking about the enter white selection border. Sure, I'll add those options to my list. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subatomic09 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Hi, sorry to resurrect a year-old thread, but I would really like the option to turn off the black outline around the game titles, too. Any plans to add this feature? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 Hi subatomic, we do have a ticket for it somewhere on the Bitbucket I think. You can get to it by clicking Feature Request in the header. I tend to implement the most-voted tickets first, so feel free to vote on it. Let me know if you can't find it. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseBlue Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 So it´s 2018 and we still have the thick black outlines. Please Jason, show some mercy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white text won't be visible against a light-colored fanart background if we remove the black outline. So if we added an option to remove the outline, we'd need a different solution...

JesseBlue Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Maybe an option to choose the thickness of the border? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Makes sense. Though if you look closely, the surrounding outlines are actually not pixel-perfect to the text (due to some unfortunate issues with Windows rendering and ClearType text), so that would require going back to the drawing board somewhat. That said, makes sense. I'll try and gauge how popular this request is based on how many times I've heard it requested. Is there a BitBucket ticket for it?

spycat Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Would it be possible to dispense altogether with the border and add a new option to LaunchBox (under Tools, Options, Theme, Fonts) to select the text colour? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could certainly add that as an option, but it still won't solve the invisible text problem with changing backgrounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subatomic09 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 (edited) Count me in on this too. With so little to complain about this amazing piece of software, it's something minor like this that just bugs me, for some reason. I would love the ability to have clean titles under my box art without the thick offset border. Not high priority for most, I know, but seems like an easy thing to add the ability to choose how you want the text displayed. (Says the guy who knows nothing about coding software....) With black border, without, and maybe a choice of color. Edited March 17, 2018 by subatomic09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
