issue with horizontal wheel

[hyunchris]

I remade a NesicaxLive 2 theme to show mostly Japanese letters instead of English, but for some reason the banners in the game wheel will have a few games that  are sized incorrectly. I would say 90% of the banners look fine. I cant find out why some are smaller. See the screenshot with the KOF 13 banner. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong in the community theme creator? All banners are the same size for all the games. I have been trying to find out for months.

Thanks

This might be a silly question, but have you tried cropping all your banners so they are exactly the same size, and then reassigning them?

Even if all the images look identical visually, Big Box can sometimes keep using old dimension data stored elsewhere (cache / metadata).

Typical result:

• 90% of the banners display correctly

• 10% appear smaller

• even though the files themselves are identical

In that case, it’s no longer really a layout or theme issue, but more of a cache or “ghost dimensions” problem inside Big Box.

Things to try:

• Crop all banners to the exact same resolution

• Clean / regenerate the image cache

• Reassign the banners for one or two affected games to see if it fixes the issue

Surprisingly, this is often the cause… even though it sounds too simple to be true 😉

If you're seeing this issue inside of Big Box then clear your image cache and let it rebuild and see if that helps. If not you can always set the stretch on that element to "Fill" or "UniformToFill" and then it'll make the image always fill up the space. Fill makes it stretch and UniformToFill will cut off what it needs to to make it fit.

thanks, I actually fixed the issue. it wasnt a cache issue. It was only happening to titles that had very long names. For example, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" Shredders Revenge. After I went into the metadata and shortened the names, all of the banners showed up correctly
