I've done some looking around and haven't seen where anyone else seems to be bringing this up so...

When I moved to 13.18 LaunchBox stopped using my Fanart Background images for the Game Details view. Instead its using Screen Shot Gameplay images. All of my images are still there and they have retained their names and folder structure just as they were before the update, but for some reason they've swapped.

I'm using the Default theme for LaunchBox. BigBox doesn't seem to be having the issue.

Well I've confirmed at least that the issue is with the Default theme. If I apply Default Plus or Old Default the images are correct. Once I switch back to the current Default the images go wacky again. I have an older version of the software that I'm running in the living room. Just for shits a gigs I grabbed the Default theme out of that build (13.12) and swapped it into 13.18. It didn't resolve anything though. I'm guessing there is an xml file somewhere that didn't get a correct value assigned when the software updated. I guess I need to track it down. ...I guess? Doesn't really makes sense given that the other themes don't have an issue. Its so weird.

Triple posting for the solution.

When opening the LaunchBox application, on launch, it changes an entry in "LaunchBox\LBThemes\Default\Views\GameDetailsView.xaml"

In my old version of the software that displays the images correctly this entry looks like the following.

(13.12) 

<!-- TOP BORDER IMAGE & ALL FALLBACKS -->

Which to my uneducated eye looks like its probably faster to execute because its shorter, but it seems to have the side effect of borking my background images.

 

To solve the issue in my build for now I just made a new skin folder titled 13.12 and copied the contents of the default skin from that older build into it. I applied it as the active skin and launchbox no longer messes with it when I open the software. My background images display correctly within gameview.
