How can I disable infinite/endless scrolling in themes?

EDIT: In many themes, you see this kind of strange repeating display when you have a few items...
In the image below, I only have two games for that particular console. 
But from the third slot, the theme starts to repeat the sequence:

Obviously this was designed to aid users with large libraries.

But there will be cases when you have a few games or consoles in a playlist...and having them needlessly repeat looks ugly and non-sensical.

I tried looking into the theme settings, but can't identify any setting that can disable this behavior. 

Can someone tell me how to disable this?

After much research this morning, I've learned a few things.

I edited the topic with the correct terminology: "infinite scrolling".
I think Kodi also has such a feature, and it can be disabled easily via their settings.

Unfortunately, from my research on LaunchBox - it cannot be disabled via settings.
The logic provided is that most users will have huge game libraries, so there's no motivation to accommodate other use-cases via a setting:

 


However, if one were familiar with skin-editing, there seems to be a way to do it via coding.
But it doesn't look to be a simple task...and probably requires some experimentation:


As a noob, I think I will test out the advice in one of the comments linked above...and switch the views to avoid "clear logo" views that seem to come with this "infinite scrolling" feature.

This behavior is driven by the theme. The property that drives it is called "Endless" and is located on the FlowControl of the view (there is only ever one so finding it is pretty easy). You simple need to either change the existing Endless property to false, or add a Endless="False" property to the FlowControl.
