  1. Indeed, i have a six screen setup (3 small apron screens). Haven't had any issue with screens changing or moving (except after some windows updates 🤬). @2huwman instead of screen numbers, you can instead adjust the X & Y offsets as relative values from the leftmost screen. That may work better for you if you don't want to clean up the monitor number entries in the registry. Can't really comment on these as i use images rather than videos for the topper screen but make sure you have the latest LAV codecs installed , and my instruction card screen is 4:3 so wouldn't stretch in game as you see, would probably need @Tom Speirs to investigate that anyway.

  2. Hey @Mike_da_Spike and @scutters! Many thanks for modernizing this project, indeed the performance seems improved. I am however now getting the following error using the Create Videos function (no videos are recorded): ERROR INFO : CreateVideos ServiceController enables manipulating and accessing Windows services and it is not applicable for other operating systems. Also, the button font sizes are not uniform, range from micro to full size.

  3. Version 24.06.07.0 has been released. This major update has kept @scutters and myself occupied for an extended period. Last year, we upgraded DBM from the .NET Framework 4.0 to 4.8, which only caused us minor headaches. I had been suggesting to @scutters that we should upgrade to .NET, but the migration path seemed too extensive. However, last month we began some tests and migrated our 'legacy' .NET Framework code to .NET Core code. Even though Microsoft offers a helpful migration assistant, it wasn't sufficient for our needs. We had to change a significant amount of code and forms, and acquire new NuGet packages to get everything working again. But now, the final result is here! We have successfully built a version based on .NET 8! What does this mean for you as a user? The application launches faster, and overall performance should be improved. Moreover, .NET 8 includes security enhancements, such as improved memory safety and mitigations against common vulnerabilities. With .NET 8's cross-platform compatibility, we may be able to support new platforms if PinballX does as well. We have also restructured the installation folder: - The INI file has been moved to the config folder. - Additional files have been placed into the resources folder. - PDFs are now located in the documentation folder. - The number of DLLs in the parent directory has been reduced. As always, a big thanks to @scutters. Without his help, we would never have been at this point (even though he was hesitant to take this path and upgrade to .NET 8). Thanks, mate, buddy, friend, for everything!
