Startup Themes Black Background

[Kedog]

Hello everyone,

why does no background image appear here?

I have all the media downloaded.

looks like this is the Default Startup Screen

if so, as far as I know it uses Fanart Background image. if said game doesn't have such an image downloaded no image will be displayed. said game does have these images available, so makes me wonder if you actually downloaded the proper image(s).

The Default StartupTheme binds the background to 'BackgroundImagePath'.  Double check in LaunchBox in Tools-Options-Media-Background Priorities that you have Fanart - Background checked.

OK, but now when I switch between the games in Lb, the background color always changes, before it stayed black. You can probably only have one or the other. Correct?

Are you still talking about Startup Themes?  Its default background pallet (for at least the Default Startup Theme) is hardcoded to black (like your original image above).  Then the [whatever it finds. If any] background image for the game sets on top of (and covers) that.

If you're talking about the background in LaunchBox behind the main middle section, that's a discussion for a different [unrelated to Startup Themes] topic.  That said, that 'background' is customizable in the LaunchBox setting (Tools < Options).
