LaunchBox: Disable cover art background in Game Details panel

[VulcanBrady]

As the title says. Once I downloaded my cover art and got everything going, the Game details panel now uses a fading transparent image of the game cover art under the top of the panel.

I find this feature annoying and messy. I makes it hard for me to be able to read the title from the game detail panel. Is there a way to disable this so it's plain again like the system selection panel?

You would have to create your own custom theme, and remove that part of the code. Or use a different theme that suits you better.

Thanks for the fast response! Well that sucks. Guess I'll try other themes. Where can I find info on how to create a custom theme?

Literally copying the default and removing this one thing would be perfect. Smattering random images behind dim text... Why lol

Copying [the 'Default' folder] and modifying one thing (in the GamesDetailsView.xaml file) is essentially creating your own custom them.  As suggested.  

The line you're wanting to remove looks something like this.

<Image Source="{Binding GameBackgroundImage}" Stretch="UniformToFill" HorizontalAlignment="Center" ClipToBounds="True" UseLayoutRounding="True" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="Auto" />

Yes, thank you! That's exactly what I was trying to accomplish. Thanks for the help. Spent a lot of time researching this stuff today, I learned some cool stuff. Fun day.
