Looks like the old Pulse version. 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.

Sorry to hear that. Can't really figure why it's not working for you. Try a clean separate Launchbox install maybe.

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 🙂

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.

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. 🙂

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.

Can you post your system specs? Do you experience slow down with the theme? Have you tried to change the video playback engine from BigBox options (VLC / Windows Media Player)?

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!

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. 🙂

Is there a way to disable that so it’s not looking for the videos? If so, is that in the Theme Specific settings or Big Box itself? Thanks!

I'm not sure if you could use another 'game view' or not - which would be selectable through Big Box.

Otherwise I think you'd be basically changing the theme itself through the Theme Creator.

Thanks. Is that what it’s doing though, looking for emumovies? I’ll just download the metadata but I didn’t know what it was looking for.

As I said, I'm not 100% sure. I'm just very new to the Theme Creator. Just watched a few videos on it and still trying to get my head around it. It *looked* like that to me but I might be wrong. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along to give you a definite answer :)

Here's a screenshot for reference for anyone that might know! Thanks!

Or maybe not. 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.

Have a look at your screenshot priorities in Launchbox, maybe you have other images you don't have with higher priorities.
