Old Default theme - Another bug with the new release

Is this theme no longer supported? Once again I have found a display bug within seconds of firing up BigBox after updating to a new version. All Platform details that used to display and scroll on the top right are now missing:

Was there a setting change I missed? I verified the Platform Detail options I had before are all still checked.

I use the Old Default theme in BigBox 12.15 with no issues that I can see.
In your theme specific settings for that theme have you tried a Platforms List view using wheels 1, 2 or 4, as 3 doesn't display the platform details.
I use a different platforms look, but I can get the details to overlay by changing my wheel from 3 to say 1. See pic.

Thanks, that was it. The view seem almost identical in the Old Default theme aside from the details text.

So the update changed both my selected Platform list view and my Games list view - it defaulted me to cover wheel images, but I have none so I had to change back to text list view.

Is it possible to make it so that updates do not modify your selected views every time?

I haven't come across any issues with my Old Default theme's behaviour whenever I update the BigBox official build.
I have the necessary options for my Old Default theme set via the Theme Specific Options rather than depend completely on the global settings so maybe that's why I never see any oddities in my theme when I update BigBox. Who knows?

You're right.
Prior to updating from 12.15 to 12.16, out of curiosity I changed my Old Default theme Platform Details View to Wheel 2 and my Games Details to Text List.
After updating to 12.16 and launching BigBox those two settings had changed to Wheel 3. Perhaps that's normal but it would be nice if they retained the user settings.
Looks like that all along I've been using settings that just happen to be the default on update ones!

Same thing happened with the new update today.  These 2 selections are auto-changed (both to wheel option 3 I think it was?) I have to change them back every time:

Thanks for this screenshot. It helped me realize you were talking about Theme specific settings and I was able to find the cause of what you're seeing. The issue has been resolved and shouldn't happen in the next version. Thanks for the additional information and the report.

Just wanted to mention that I am 95% sure that several Platform detail options that I had turned off were turned back on after the update - CPU, Graphics, Memory, Sound ,etc.
