vaderag Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I just bought a lifetime subscription, predominantly for BixBox and playlist support, but sadly it's really not as 'plug-and-play' as I was led to believe... With this in mind I have a few questions/expectations that I was hoping to tick off fairly simply, and hoping people can help 1) I seem to just get a list of Systems and a list of games within each of those systems, favorites at the top 1a) what I was really hoping for was a representation of the structure contained in Launchbox - Arcade / Compuer / Console / Handheld at level one, Systems at level 2 and Playlists/Favorites at level 3 - how do I do this? 1b) One of the things I want there is the recently played as well - overall across launchbox and equally per system - how can I add this into the mix? 2) I'd really like to be able to search from Level One - is this possible 3) Many of my systems seem to be missing artwork for even the system name - these aren't obscure systems so I'm sure they exist, I just don't know why they're not showing as I've scraped both LBGamesDB and Emumovies... 4) Is there any way to show the list of games with the clean logo instead? Is this theme dependent? 5) I've tried many themes and many of them just don't look at all like they do on the forums - it seems as simple as drag and drop to install a theme but I get artwork misplaced etc - am I missing an easy way to correct for this? I'm sure there are other things as well, but what I thought was going to be simple is proving a learning curve almost as high as setting up my original HyperSpin setup, and I moved to LB thinking it would be a relatively quick process... so I think these questions kick me off...!

DOS76 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 1a you have to go into the BB settings and change your view to platform categories to see that view 4 Clear logos is also a setting in BB it is most likely set to text list you have to adjust it to show the clear logos 5 All of the themes have multiple views so by default they may not be set to the same views in the images on the forum. You can set a button on your controller or a key on your keyboard to be able to quickly cycle through views. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm finding on most of my themes, one of the views I have is a text list with details that I want, but I want the clear logos instead of text list... Am I right in saying that whether this exists or not is down to the particular theme creator? Or can this be overridden? I'm also still struggling to see how I get a list of recently played games Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well those are two separate things, the text list view will only ever be text, hence the name. If you want clear logos you cant use the text list view. Recently played has to be coded by the theme maker, and very few bother with it at all. I personally am not a fan of cluttering the platform view with recently played art, but hey each to there own.

It's one of the primary reasons I moved to LB as was finding it frustrating not being able to find a game i was experimenting with to get back to it in HS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
