You have two completely different images there, you can see that the second one has a Capcom logo at the bottom left where as the other does not, and the top one doesnt look like it has a transparent background on it. I just realized that. Essentially even though they are different images, this is the issue I run into with every single image. As you can see from the bottom image, the spine looks completely different from the top. The spine looks lighter and I can't figure out why. I want the bottom image to look like the top in big box. You can see how the top image's spine look consistent and the same throughout. The top image is when it is viewed outside of LB or BB. It might be a LB issue too as I noticed that it also looks like this in LB. This is the only console it does that for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, well i just installed this theme and i dont see what you say you have, my box looks just fine. Its probably just the images you have for snes have some sort of reflection on them.

GreenGriffon Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 JPG's don't support transparency. I would double-check to ensure your box art is all PNG's, which do. I've come across a few that were JPG's (mostly with disc images), and that may be why you have a white border/background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a way of taking screenshots of what you mean, that would be helpful here. I'm having the same issue as the other user. Basically after installing the theme, the startup screen has the time, platform wheel and scrolling description at the bottom but the main part of the screen is black. There's no images showing the platform or a video or anything, just black. Does the startup screen in my settings need to be tweaked? When I change it to anything other than "platforms" I get no scrolling wheel at all and no options to select. At least when it's set to platforms I can scroll through them and choose one. Once I open a platform the theme appears as it should with no problems. It's just the startup screen that's black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need some platform videos for the platforms screen, that is why you have a black background it's designed to play videos of the various platforms when you sit on one. Videos are not included with themes, but can be downloaded in Launchbox. Just got to Tools/Download platform/Playlist Videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is correct, you need a fullscreen Platform video, these shots below are fullscreen videos, they are not artwork with a small video window, the whole screen is a video.

Ah understood. Thank you for your help. Will launchbox know where to find these videos based on the theme simply being installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be able to select the video type you want via the dropdown on each platform. Or select a global video style via the dropdown at the bottom of the screen. You can also click the preview button to stream the video to see what it is like before you download it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not included in theme downloads as that would make themes absolutely huge downloads, and there are many different styles of platform videos so its up to you to source the the style of videos you want to use.

RB2021 Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) I have an issue where the name of the console is too large and covers up menu options on the right side. This is happening on GBA also. My monitor is 2560x1440 if that is what's making the issue? Edited July 23, 2019 by RB2021 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am aware of this issue; it's on my list to fix, though I will admit that it might be a while because it's currently competing with LaunchBox development.

BlockABoots Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 For MAME why am i not getting the game logo art in the wheel its just generic text font Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clear logos are not part of the theme. Also if you called the platform "Mame" instead of "Arcade" you would need to make sure the file is named Mame.png or Mame.jpg and stored in the correct \Images\Platforms\[Platform Name]\Clear Logo folder.

Ah that makes sense ill give that a go. 2 Other questions.... In the Arcade platform is the Marquee of the Arcade machine supposed to change to what ever game is selected in the wheel? Im not see the box art appear next to the wheel for 80% of games only a few actual have the art appear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have box art for all your games? Like the clear logos these are not included in the theme. These are downloaded media that support your games in Launchbox and in theme views in BigBox. You have to download these like other images and videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do we know if adding the marquee to alter with the game selected will be added in an update?, as that would be such a nice touch to the frontend for arcade. Or is it easy to alter yourself?
