Looks like a setting regarding the GameDetails size may be broken for some reason. I'd hide and unhide Game Details (press Ctrl+T twice) and see if that corrects.

Yes, I have the same issue as Revv23.

I believe it is happening because the background image is somehow showing itself at full size driving everything else down.

Is it possible to change the fanart as background for the banner to a Marquee video of the game? that would be so awesome to get done... got a bunch of Marquee video's but don't have a cabinet with marquee... so this would atleast give me use for them 🙂

This is absolutely my favorite theme to use with LB!  Unfortunately, after a recent LB update, it will only load media for every other game selected.  For example, I can choose the PSX game "1 Xtreme" and none of the media (video, box art, disc, etc) will load in the expected window however if I then pick "2 Xtreme" all media loads as expected and the video clip plays.  I can then pick "3 Xtreme" and again, nothing loads.  Then, I can go back and pick "1 Xtreme" and ta-da, the media loads and the video clip starts to play.  So you might think, maybe it just needs to cache, but no, if I then go and pick the previously successfully media loading "2 Xtreme", no media.  Hopefully this is an easy fix or just a setting I can change to fix this as I would hate to stop using this theme!

Verified it's a theme-related issue as all media loads with the default theme loaded, another custom theme loaded, and in BigBox.

I'll have to take a look. There is probably a binding not getting refreshed correctly. It's been a long while since I made this theme so will have to track down what I'm doing differently in it vs Omni

Thanks!  Hopefully it's an easy fix or it's not something you're noticing on your end so it means there's something wrong with my installation and can be fixed.  I'd hate to switch LB themes after using this one for as long as I have, lol.

Omni can be set up to use the same layout as Steamy (or extremely similar). That being said I know a lot of people still utilize this theme so I can try and get it up and running again.

Hmm... I just tried this on my setup and unfortunately not seeing what you are. What LB version are you using?

13.21, if it's not a universal issue, I wonder what's causing it on mine?  I switched to 4 other themes just to make sure and this is the only theme it happens on.  I've manually uninstalled and reinstalled it as well as tried a "repair" which I know just does the same thing but figured it was worth a shot.

Also, if I switch the view to "Images View" and change games, the media loads and plays just fine.  I switch back to "List View" and it's back to only loading the media pane every other game.

I know what you're reporting IS a thing we saw in some themes when we made the change but thought we had resolved in all of them by the time the release went out, so it's entirely possible. I just have to track down the exact settings required to make it trip up. Could you post up a screen shot of your Game Details option page? The one that shows which elements are turned off/on? I'll mimic it and see if that produces what you're seeing.

Sure thing!  If I need to turn something off to match yours let me know and I'll try it out but I haven't messed with these settings so it should be default.

In the mean time, you had mentioned that Omni can be adjusted to mimic Steamy "mostly".  Do you happen to have a screenshot of the settings I would need to change to accomplish this?

@XvXPhoenix 13.22 Beta 2 may have some code in it that resolves the issue. Once you see it's released on the forums would be it be possible for you to do the following:

Open LaunchBox
Go to Tools menu and create a backup
In LaunchBox open options and go to the updates section and enable beta downloads
Check for updates (I believe in tools, may be in help not at a computer with LB installed)
Let it update to beta 2 (again, once out) and see if you have the issue still there

Omni settings depends on the view in use in Steamy. Do you use Image View or List View?

Image view you'd select Image View in LB (or there is a selector on the right side of the theme, you want the left most button), then in the second grouping click the one that has two horizontal bars in it. That view should be essentially the same as steamy image view
List View you'd want to press the 3rd button on the left grouping and the two vert lines in the second. Then drag the separator that is between the list and the details view (it's invisible but there) to the left until the list turns into a Steamy-esque list and you should have Steamy List view. It works better if you hide the Side Panel (no worries a new drop down appears so you can still use it)

Thanks!  Sadly, Beta 2 did not resolve the issue.  I was able to get Omni configured per your suggestions however it's just not the same, lol.  I mean it's close but by default the video snap is cut off at the bottom and I liked having the game description/summary show up where the game stats load in Omni.  Any other thoughts on what might be causing this?  If it's an issue specific to me, is there anything else I can try to remedy it?
