Aevans0001 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 (edited) I am having an issue though I have multiple displays but only 1 screen active in Big box and sometimes it loads like this. Quite often today ( i just moved i to screen 2 (which is larger) and I have rebooted multiple times. Sometimes it comes up right, others not so much Edit 1: If I load big box directly from the big box shortcut I get this, If I load launchbox and then big box it works ok Edit 2: If the shortcut is on my smaller screen, big box loads like above on the bigger screen. If the shortcut is on bigger screen it loads correctly. Is there anyway to fix this? Edited December 7, 2018 by Aevans0001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alnyden Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I'm not sure when this happened (this beta or previous release) but BigBox lost all my associations between platforms/playlists and themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great to be able to set platform specific views - for example setting box size settings per platform! Setting box sizes for each platform is planned. However, this is not part of what's in the works currently (will be a separate thing), and true separate themes for each platform in LaunchBox is not planned as it kind of flies in the face of a desktop-type interface.

I tested 2 keyboards. Have great day. Check your Big Box keyboard mapping options. Nothing has changed with that code recently and I haven't heard this reported anywhere else, so I'm guessing it's not an issue with the new versions.

I am aware of this issue though on some machines and I'll be coming back to address it here soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you explain exactly what you mean by this? We did have an issue at one point for users who use the betas, so I'm guessing this is a relic of a bug we had with a previous beta release.

Keith Krummel Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I didn’t map it yet because it was working with escape to get to the mapping, but it fixed itself today but couldn’t get there yesterday and kept having to force close Bigbox yesterday.

I'm guessing there was some other kind of weird input issue going on with the system, most likely some kind of input conflict. If a reboot fixes it, that's most likely the case. If it happens again, try looking at what programs you have running in Task Manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Previously, Big Box remembered which theme I had associated with each platform/playlist. Recently, I switched the main theme to Unified - Refried. Since then, or around that time, all other platforms & playlists have changed to Unified - Refried as well. Big Box has forgotten the previous associations. Hope this makes sense, thanks.

I know this could be more clear, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, I'm pretty sure it didn't used to do this, as I've changed the main theme many times without resetting the others. (Also, I changed it in the pop-up box, not the options screen, does that make a difference?) Either way, it seems to me you should be able to change the main theme without re-setting the others, given how long it takes to make all those associations for multiple platforms & playlists. Could it be an option to choose if you want to reset them all? Thanks Jason. Edited December 7, 2018 by alnyden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it should do this with the popup views though (but maybe it does either way any time you change the main, non-platform-specific theme).
