Delete the whole Pulse theme folder, unzip the 2.0 and from the theme management options change theme to something else then change back to Pulse. Remember to clear image cache from options. I’m probably doing something completely wrong. But when I do that the theme looks completely different, it does have the box art but it’s like it’s not even the same theme. I originally installed Pulse directly from Big Box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't really figure why it's not working for you. Try a clean separate Launchbox install maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny T Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 I installed Pulse last night. Wow! It's an awesome theme!! My one issue is that my stretched LCD display has an unusual resolution. In the past I've overcome this by changing the GameMarqueeView.xaml and PlatformMarqueeView.xaml in the Theme/Views/ folder but I noticed that Pulse doesn't have one? Does anyone know how I could alter the position/size of the marquees from Pulse? Many thanks for all your help 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks for all your help 🙂 I'm not entirely sure what you need to change, but I bet you could make all the required changes to the theme with the Community Theme Creator and the files I have provided here: Please remember that these files do not include the wallviews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny T Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Okay, thanks for that. I'm planning on spending a bit of time to learn CTC anyway so will look through them and see if I can work it all out. I have a Fruit Machine cab and want a vertical theme so was going to use CTC for that. Seems like an amazing piece of software. Thanks for all your help and, of course, the superb theme. It's brilliant. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styphelus Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I don't know why but I'm still getting crashes with this theme. It's by far my favorite but it constantly crashes when scrolling through systems or games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried to change the video playback engine from BigBox options (VLC / Windows Media Player)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockovissi Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Hello all, wondering if you can answer a question for me regarding the Pulse theme. I have games set to Text List with Details, I do have the boxart showing up now but there's a blank square to the left of the boxart. What metadata is that looking for? And can I disable it so the box isn't showing? Is it a screenshot, emumovies? Thanks to anyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very (VERY) new to Theme Creator but, if it's the box I *think* you're referring to, then it looks like a box with the background set to a "scanlines.png" and it's supposed to have the video snap running on it. But, I'm sure someone a lot more knowledgeable will pop on and confirm that or correct me. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise I think you'd be basically changing the theme itself through the Theme Creator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll just download the metadata but I didn’t know what it was looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just downloaded a title screenshot and gameplay screenshot but it did not populate. Are there specific Theme Settings for Pulse or Settings in general in Big Box that will show the screenshot? I'm sorry I'm so confused. I'm just trying to either get rid of the blank box or put something there. Not sure why after testing it out with a couple of games that it's not now populating after downloading a couple of screenshots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a look at your screenshot priorities in Launchbox, maybe you have other images you don't have with higher priorities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
