Just finished setting up launchbox this week. Everything is working great (cept for cemu crashing on exit but i think that is my video card) I have purchased lifetime bigbox and am setting it up. I am having an issue with the platform logos on the wheel. I have a few that have no image in the directory (playstation, turbografix16,psp mini, etc..) So i searched the forums and found a couple logo sets and put them into the places they needed to be, no more text and logo is there but is half the size of the other logos and i cannot seem to find anything in the forums about setting sizes if anyone knows how to or a set of logos that are somewhat the same size that would be great. My only other issue is that in my all category in launchbox i have the normal arcade, Nes, SNES etc... under arcade i have the 2 player, 4 player, beat em ups etc. what i am wondering is if there is a way to take what is under the arcade tab and bring it up a level to be in the same list as consoles, pc, handhelds, etc. if these have been answered i am sorry for posting these questions again. but i have searched the forums for a couple of hours now and haven't found anything,. thanks in advance

There isn't any setting you can do change the image size. Themes can use XAML to stretch the image to fill the same amount of space but if the image has a lot of dead space in it the theme/xaml can't do a great job at increasing scale. May just need to find a better logo for your use case.

You can change the playlist parent in LaunchBox by going to the Playlist via the Playlist or Platform Category filter. Right click the playlist you want to change and hit "Edit..." Go to the parents tab and select where you want it placed.

Thanks for the reply, I went in and used the repair option in bigbox for the theme i am using (unified) and that fixed my logo issues (loading new platforms after a theme is installed doesn't install the logos unless you repair it) As far as the playlist goes i don't quite seem to understand how i am supposed to use the check boxes ie i have a list of platforms arcade,snes,nes etc. what i want to do is take everything in the arcade list and place it with nes, snes etc... So my list will be snes,nes, sega, 2 player, 4 player, cps1, etc... but no matter what i check or uncheck it doesnt move what is in the arcade up a level. what am i missing here?

Open Launchbox.
In the far left where you pick filters, select "Playlist Category".
Find the playlist you want to alter (2 Player, etc). By default you will find them under "Platforms > Arcade"
Right click the playlist and hit edit.
On the form that just opened go the last tab titled "Parents"
Click the category you want the list to show with (in your example set it to "Platforms".


When in Big Box make sure you are viewing by Platform Category and not Platforms.

Did you refresh the Image Cache? Also is the image named exactly as the platform is named?
