Visual bug:

Beats 1.8, LB 13.12

When the download progress bar makes it to the far left side, the rounded corners are not shown and the rectangle of the progress slider is shown. It's as though the Z-order is not correct for the progress bar left rounded corner. I tried to capture a screenshot but it was almost impossible, sorry.

Really Don't Want to Use Another Theme. This is the Only One I Could Find That Doesn't Have Clear Logos on Top of the Game Details Section.

I doubt this is theme related. This is related to the preview image the video player creates in the control from what I can tell. Sounds like you have a malformed video on some of your games and when the app is attempting to load it fails a bit more spectacularly than it should.

How do I show only the Game Title? Currently it's showing the game title followed immediately by the file name

In this example, on the right above the video, it says: "Dead or Alive 6 DOA6". I'm not sure why the file name DOA6 is being shown.

In the View menu there is an option for showing the version of the game in the title. Sounds like you accidentally pressed it. Ctrl+R turns it on and off as well. I've tapped it a few more times than I care to mention....

Is there a way for me to show Clear Logo instead of, or alongside, the game title in Game Details panel? Maybe a 'simple' xml tweak? Love the theme anyway, just switched to it recently

You'd have to add a FlowImage control where that text is, set the ImageType to "Clear Logos". You should be able to find the syntax for it by looking in the default theme (or really any theme with a logo displayed there). I didn't in this theme to simply save vertical space in the details view so I could use that space to view metadata which I tend to care more about.

That's cool. Thanks for responding quickly. I'll leave it as is for now, always got Bigbox. Also a 'Flip Box' or 'View 3D Box' button would be nice but gamepad hotkey is ok for that Thanks again anyway

Hi C-Beats,

first, I love this theme, as it displays the covers within the list view.

But I got this problem: after installing FBNeo, my MAME-platform games now show the RetroAchievement (RA) details and the RA progress bar within the list view. Even, when I disable "show RA" from the badge menu or when ALL badges are disabled. Then the progress bar still remains.

I even de-installed FBNeo but that didn't help. I can't get rid of the RA-details of the MAME games and the progress bar (which have no RA). Repairing your theme doesn't help either, nor a de- and re-installation. 

This only occurs with the Beats theme and I truely hope, you can help me.

Cheers

EDIT: Sorry, I found out, the issue (remaining progress bars) also occurs with other themes. But maybe you, as a programmer, have a good solution.

You already identified this isn't a theme issue and is something you're seeing several places across several themes. Not sure what response you were hoping for here. File a bug report if you haven't already and as we get time to look into possible causes the team can let you know then.

Thank you, I filed a bug-report. Cheers
