how to apply 1 startup theme to all my games

[DonellHD]

Hi everyone. I set my startup theme to be stage box, applied it, but I still see the default startup theme on some occasions. How do I apply stagebox on every game I load in LB?

Can you break down "some occasions" a little?  Does the Default Startup Theme show on games in a certain platform?  Do you have any other .xaml files in with your \Stagebox\ folder (ither than Defaul.xaml and Default Shutdown.xaml)?

Like for one instance, it may work for windows but it won't work for wii u for example. No there are no other xaml files but the one that comes with stagebox

To clarify, for Wii U, is there no startup screen then?  It you switch startup screens, does one then appear for Wii U?  If not, check that startup screens are not disabled for the emulator.  If it's only certain games in the Wii U platform that don't show it, they may have an override set, disabling them.
