tkssitch Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 shot in the dark here but worked on one of my themes so may help with yours. Try setting the image you want to background-fan artwork. I found easiest way to do that is to go into regular launchbox, go to your game or magazine in your case. Right click to edit-metadata, scroll down the left-hand column til you find media>images. Then you can just drag and drop the picture into the menu, and it will populate, there should be a pull-down bar somewhere, and it would say something like boxes or front cover. Click on it and pulldown to background, then you should see more options and pick the fanart one. No guarantees that will work, but if you haven't tried that yet, wouldn't hurt.

Thanks FRK There are different things going on here. 1. The Unified themes (all versions) for the area left of the text list or wheel list uses images stored in image folders within the theme for the background, the video border, and the platforms clear logo that would be at the top. So you would need to add custom images. The image would be named after the platform and then placed in the corresponding image type folder located in \Launchbox\Themes\Unified & Ultrawide\Images\Theme\[Image Type]\ 2. For any box art/cart art (in your case the magazine cover) that would normally display in the area between the video and the game list on the right once you have added those images to the correct LB image folders be sure to go into BB settings and refresh the image cache. Typically those image would be located in \Launchbox\Images\[Platform Name]\[Image Type]\ 3. The video within the frame you would need to add a custom video to the \Launchbox\Video\[Platform Name] folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to the folder path listed and you will see the various image types used. Video border would be \Launchbox\Themes\Unified & Ultrawide\Images\Theme\Video Border\[name of platform].png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
