Unfortunately not at this moment. You have to manually change the Games View for that.

Gorgeous job Critical! I love the unified concept from HS, and the additions you have from LB makes this the ideal theme

An update??

No theme update, I've just replaced a screenshot in the description. Sorry if you got an update notification because of that.

Incredible theme CriticalCid, congratulations ! Simple, functional, beautiful and has a great performance, I loved it! Loved the little details you added to each system too.

Any plans to add community rate ?

I thought about it but I couldn't find a nice spot for it. I'll see if I can come up with something for the next update.

You made my day with this theme! I've been trying to get HyperSpin running on my PC just because I loved the way it looked, even though I prefer LaunchBox. Now I have the best of both worlds!  Thanks soo much!!!

Maybe in the game info line, next to the play mode?

On a side note (as I know you will be releasing more views), just wanted to leave here my preferences just in case; have a vertical straight list instead of curved, have it on the left side of the screen,  and have regular text instead of logos in the game list. Thats it.

Too excited with this theme. Arriving home in a couple of hours and will test it out as soon as I can. 

Thanks for making this theme..it's great so far.

Unfortunately is that line already on its limit when it comes to longer publisher or genre names respectively combinations of many genres.

I definitely plan to modify the default TextList Games View as well. I’ve played around with it and unfortunately I can’t properly fade it in and out due some technical reasons for triggering the animation. That’s why it didn’t make the cut for the initial release but I’ll definitely come back to it.

Wow! This theme is basically the "nail in the coffin" for hyperspin! Nicely done! However, after several years I've grown really tired of their traditional wheel-style. It would be perfect if there was a more "bigbox-style" wheel available with a simple vertical direction instead of the circular direction  

Can you explain me how to install it? Because i'm having difficulties installing it.

I want this theme so bad!

There are install instructions in the top of the post.

What exactly are you having issues with? Themes just get unzipped and put in Launchbox/Themes folder, and for this one you may need to unblock the .dll's in Themes/Unified/Plugins, just right click them/Properties and unblock at the bottom. Then in Launchbox go to Options/Views highlight the current view and cycle through them until you get to Unified.

 

Did you go to the setting in BigBox and change the theme?

also check to make sure you didn't unzip the file to a folder and then it will be in unified inside of a folder called unified and BB won't be able to use it.

very nice work sorry i love amiga so i changed the pics

I always have the same default background with the BigBox logo for each platforms.

What am i doing wrong?

From the download description:

Individual platform artwork not showing up?:

The media files that are inside the “..\LaunchBox\Themes\Unified\Images\Theme\..” folder have to be named exactly like your platforms inside LaunchBox. I've went with the HyperList/RocketLauncher naming conventions for the filenames in this package.

If Big Box doesn’t show any individual artwork for a system that is listed above you may need to manually rename the relevant files for that platform in all four sub-folders.

i'm so confused right now, i just extracted the zip file into: LaunchBox\Themes and it doesn't show me the artwork for each system. And also, what am i supposed to do with RocketLauncher?

Can you make a tutorial about it?

You don’t have to do anything with RocketLauncher. Forget that part if that doesn’t say anything to you.

Let’s say you have a platform called “Playstation” in your LaunchBox setup. The theme can’t find the proper artwork for it because it’s looking for a platform called “Sony PlayStation” instead. What you have to do now is to rename the artwork to make it match with the names you have in your LaunchBox setup. You can find the artwork in the following folder: “..\LaunchBox\Themes\Unified\Images\Theme\..”

In this folder you have 4 sub-folders which contain the different parts of the artwork. Now you have to go in all four of them and search for the platforms that don’t work. In my example you would now need to find all images that are called “Sony PlayStation” and rename them to “Playstation” so that the names fit to your platform names inside your LaunchBox. I hope that was now clear enough.

I'm also having same problem BUT when I first downloaded and installed it, it worked 100% but then I fiddled with some settings in LB and/or BB and now all platforms only load default background, border, logo and pointer and I've checked the file names and they are exactly the same. If I reinstall LB into a new folder and setup all over again, it works 100% so its some setting or option that messes it up. Now Im trying to find out what causes it. Sorry forgot to quote Cid's previous comment too.

Thanks for the info. I already found something that breaks it. Make sure that in the Big Box Options -> Views –> “Show Games List Title” is enabled. Let me know if that fixes it for you or if there is still something else causing problems.
