theme CriticalZone / CriticalZone - BlueBox 2.3

cool, thanks for the reply

What banners are you using for the Platform Titles?

These here: http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/files/file/11362-main-menu-wheels-bordered-crylen-style-43-genre-wheels/

Really enjoy this theme, but the one issue for me is that when in the horizontal lists view, pressing down brings up an opaque bar where the alphabet should be to jump to a particular letter/number, but now letters or numbers appear.  Is this a glitch in the current version or something odd about my installation?  I've replicated the bug on 2 machines.  Any help is appreciated.

Great theme! Thanks

I like to change the default wheel clear logos with Vikings clear logo set but can not manage to change the playlist logos. The platform logos is just fine. Any ideas?

@JABlekken You have to put the put the playlist clear logos in the LaunchBox\Images\Playlists\"Playlist Name"\Clear Logos folder and will probably have to refresh the cache in the BigBox options menu.

Thanks. Just found out but the clearing the cache seems to take some time because not every logo changes at once. 

Aften tried for hours I think there is a problem with clearing the cache. Not all logos will show and when I try to refreash the images random logos change back to default logos.

Hi. Is it possible to show a clear logo for Playlist and Favorites in the platform wheel?

Thinking Playlist button shows the different playlists and Favorites button shows the different games that you have marked as favorites in bigbox.

ok. i give up. ive spent days (literally days) and asked for help on the forums. I cant get this theme to OVERRIDE videos/images. the only folder that functions is "Default".

 

someone. anyone. if you have figured out how to make this work. please help me. 

For me this is the best theme, the best performance with all the themes that I have had is using the horizontalwheel3 of your theme, thanks for this!

Can you add the weather for further updates?

Not at this point. As this is one of the bundled themes that comes directly with LaunchBox I’ve decided to not add any custom plug-ins to it any more due to stability reasons. So unfortunately I won’t add the weather until it becomes a native feature of Big Box.

first of all thx for your Theme!

a request... There is the possibility to add "recent games" launch in the orizontal platform view (with video) in place of console/pc description ?

 

Great theme and my default at the moment. Nice and clean. One issue - I have the games list view set as "horizontal boxes with details". I also have the game image type set as "3D boxes". However, many of the games are being shown as the flyer rather than the 3D box. If I switch from BB to LB, then it shows the 3D boxes fine. Any help appreciated!

What this view?

If so you may of accidently changed the image type as it can be changed per platform. I believe its I on the keyboard to cycle through image types. 

 

No, I mean the view with the slightly smaller boxes along the bottom of the screen.

I don't think I cycles through image types for the game details screen - it just lets you see the images for the selected game.

Yeah that view is hardcoded for box front, its very easy to edit the .xml file though as I have done myself to show 3D boxes.

Just open "HorizontalWheel2GamesView" in the views folder find the line that says boxes and change it to "3D Boxes".

 

Is it possible to make the game menu window to only show video snaps and never videothemes? Since the video space in the game menu is so small, when showing video themes there, I find the gameplay part of the theme it's too small. I Think it would look much better if it just shows a videosnap instead of a super small videotheme.

There is a option in options/videos to prefer theme videos, just uncheck it.

If you uncheck that, the videothemes will never be shown,. I want them to be shown everywhere but the game menu, where the size would be too small for a videotheme.

I don't believe its possible to use 2 different videos for the same game in Bigbox themes.

Critical Zone is the best in my opinion! the only thing is it hasn't scrolling details support! so, if you want add the scrolling notes support you must open the theme in visual studio search and replace this values fields:
