JoeViking245 Posted February 14, 2024 Posted February 14, 2024 To show a games Background Image in LaunchBox's main view, Go to Tools Options Visuals Background Check the Box "Use Game Background Images" To show a games animated Background Image (i.e. gameName.gif) Using the Default Theme as an example... Enable Game Background Image as shown above. Note: Blur Amount has no effect on animated gifs. But the Fade Amount does. Add animated gifs to your games as Background Images. (saving as 'Fanart - Background' works well) You will need to find (create?) your own images. Animated gifs are not available from the LaunchBox Database (nor EmuMovies??) In Windows Explorer, make a copy of the folder ..\LaunchBox\LBThemes\Default\ i.e. D:\LaunchBox\LBThemes\Default - Copy\ In this 'new' folder, navigate to the Views subfolder and open "ContentBackgroundView.xaml" using any text editor. In the declarations, add xmlns:gif="clr-namespace:WpfAnimatedGif;assembly=Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows" On the line beginning with <Image change Name="Image" to Name="Image2" On the next line, after "HighQuality" add a space and then insert gif:ImageBehavior.AnimatedSource="{Binding ImagePath}" Save and close. In LaunchBox, go to Tools - Options - Visuals - Main Window Theme Set the Theme: to the one you just copied (created) / saved (Default - Copy) Click OK to save this option and restart LaunchBox ContentBackgroundView.xaml After making the above changes: 1 Quote
