Fursphere Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Is anyone else seeing the memory leak issue? Or is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are wanting to learn how to do this you can make a post in one of the theme sections and I can reply there. Okay, thanks for the response. Actually, I tried to use Grilla's original plugin and followed his instructions but I don't think it applies to this theme. The code looked a lot different than his examples and instructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultra God Azgorath Posted July 23, 2022 Share Posted July 23, 2022 Hey guys. I found a bug with the popups and options overhaul. The achievements page in pause screens don't display anything anymore. I used 3 other pause screens, including the default and same issue on all of them. Great job on the overhaul though. I'm loving the new look and feel of BB.

TheNewClassics Posted July 24, 2022 Share Posted July 24, 2022 (edited) To add to that, when Viewing a Manual in the Pause Screen, it opens in a smaller window. Also noticed that Page Up and Page Down don't seem to work when using the controller for me. Edited July 24, 2022 by TheNewClassics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RULLUR Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 (edited) We need to do something about Old Default no longer displaying the Platform Details, and as far as the new Default, I'm not too fond of the fact the background has a translucent grey layer that doesn't let you clearly see what's back there that you can't seem to adjust on how grey you want it to be. I think the new Default has potential, but would love to see the background layer being adjustable, and maybe even allow some color options too Edited July 25, 2022 by RULLUR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the details in Old Default on all the views that had it previous to this version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RULLUR Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Forgot to also mention that whenever you back out from one Platform go to another too quick now, everything on the right from the previous Platform will been seen instead of the next you shifted over too. Didn't used to be that way until the new Default was introduced. Still hoping the new Default will have an option the adjust the translucent grey background layer because for what little a checked it out, that grey background is what hold me back from making the jump to using the new Default as my main Theme. I work far too much on Background art to have it covered in a layer of grey like that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted July 25, 2022 Author Share Posted July 25, 2022 I am currently running this beta on 7 different machines overnight in order to test for any further memory leaks. We did introduce some memory leaks in the previous betas, which in turn caused some performance issues. None of these memory leaks are in the 12.13 official release, however, and they do appear to be fixed now. Thanks for the reports. Also, this beta contains an update to the Export to Android feature that will allow you to export MS-DOS games (it zips them up for ease of use on Android). A new Android beta will be out shortly to add MS-DOS to the Android app itself. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make version control a lot easier. Edited July 25, 2022 by shadowfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All new converters should also function inside of LaunchBox themes as well. New bindings to the various details views are Big Box specific changes, no bindings were added to the LaunchBox Game Details. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cab-a - BB process @ 1.2 GB Cab-b - BB process @ 800 MB Both felt response as well at this point. Not sure why there is a difference, but I'll take it. Memory consumption is much better at this point. Thank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I'm at it, any chance there will be something in there to customize the game count summary in ControlsView.xaml? I would like to shorten "Displaying 123 of 4567 games." to something like "123 / 4567". (I did a feature request on Bitbucket a while ago but at that time it seemed impossible.)

kmoney Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 One thing I noticed while having VLC chosen as the media player in BigBox. When you exit out of a game, the game video autoplays on the game details screen but then when you exit out of the game details screen into the regular game view the video does not autoplay until you move the wheel to another game. The videos do autoplay correctly however if you have WMP chosen as the media player or have the "Skip Game Details Screen" chosen as an option. This might have been going on for a while and did not notice since I have skip game details screen chosen most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C-Beats Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 @kmoney @Suhrvivor - We've noticed something similar in testing. I believe I have it resolved internally. I'll ping ya on the next release so you can verify we got it resolved on your end too. @shadowfire - Can you send me that ticket link? I can take a look. As I recall the issue was more about where/how you wanted to access it then the bindings itself but would be worth reviewing while we in there making all these theming changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-Beats Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Found the ticket. Seems I may be remembering wrong. I'll take a look and see what I can do. No guarantees though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
