About This File
Here you can download alternative versions of the CriticalZoneV2 theme that comes bundled with every LaunchBox installation.
CriticalZone is a BigBox theme designed for the usage of widescreen platform videos and utilizes videos as backgrounds.
This theme was designed for widescreen displays with 16:9 aspect ratios and optimized for a display resolution of 1920x1080. It will also work with other widescreen resolutions and 16:10 aspect ratios but it may not look as polished.
Available Versions:
- CritcalZoneV2 - BlueBox: A blue color variant of CriticalZoneV2. It features blue texts instead of green and has a different Default background created by @SentaiBrad
- BackgroundVideoOnly: All Views, except the TextList Views, will only use video loops as backgrounds. Also available as BlueBox version.
- BackgroundFanartOnly: All Views will only use Fanart images as backgrounds. Also available as BlueBox version. -> Use this version if you have performance problems!
- 1.8: The original and now old version of CriticalZone. It's officially EOL and won't get supported by me in any way. It's just still here for archiving reasons.
There’s also a red 80’s/Cyberpunk themed version of CriticalZone called “CityHunter”. It’s maintained by @keltoigael and can be found here:
How to install:
Just download the version of choice and extract the archive into:
“..\LaunchBox\Themes\”
Open the Options menu in BigBox -> go to “Views” and change the Theme to the version you just have installed.
IMPORTANT: CriticalZone V2 requires LaunchBox v7.11 or higher!
Known issues:
- The description texts in all Platform Views and CoverFlowWithDetails Games View won’t fill the whole space of the descriptions box when you use CriticalZone with a higher DPI setting than 100% or a lower display resolution than 1902x1080. It gets progressively worse the higher the DPI settings and/or lower the resolution is.
Thanks & Credits:
Thanks to @SentaiBrad for creating the new Default background video for the BlueBox variant.
