Unified Redux 1.8

too hyperspinny ?

It was built on purpose taking that into account and reimagining the Unified HS collab. 

As a theme (be it "hyperspinny" or not) it is a great creation, and it took a lot of thinkering to achieve its current state and features.

A very nice theme, clean, simple, and pretty. Only thing I would like to see is a dark theme for the unified hyperspin theme. N64, Snes, genesis, those are nice and dark backgrounds. But things like wii and DS, they're so bright, would be nice to have a dark version.

You can easily manipulate the background images of the theme and either inverse them or substitute them for the ones you like

It was mistakenly deleted by a moderator. Feel free to add it back if you feel so inclined.

I can't speak for how or who deleted it by error or mistake, but I did read it when it was up there and thought how can a theme that's main purpose is too look like Hyperspin be negatively reviewed for looking "too Hyperspinny".

love the changes except the disc now going way to fast. 

ok for Hyperpsin, but in 1920x1080......?

 

Awesome theme. Just curious, is there a way to remove the date and clock? Also is there a way to remove the scrolling info text at the bottom? I've tried turning off Scroll Details and Scroll Notes under the Game details tab and it didn't turn anything off as far as I can tell.

Sorry for the late reply. You would unfortunately have to modify the theme in order to do either of those things, though it should be relatively obvious what to remove based on the comments in the code. You'll have to modify the XAML files in the Views folder of the theme.

very nice theme here. i was wondering if we can put on top of that a moving background or if you have to modify everything like for the clock or the scrolling?

It should be fairly simple with the VideoControl element. Not a bad idea; I may try tackling it here at some point.

I just updated to the Unified Redux 1.2 and I can't get it to look like my previous Unified theme or the layout you have in the videos. The wheels in this one seem to be different. What view settings do I need to make the theme look like the video above?

It should look like the video straight out of the box. No customizations are necessary at all. Did you change the folder name at all? It should be in LaunchBox\Themes\Unified Redux. Any other folder name will mess things up. Post a screenshot if you're still having issues.

Per the description at the top of this page, 

• Reduced the size of the theme by over 350 MB by converting the background images from PNGs to maximum-quality JPGs. There is no perceived quality loss and now the theme is less than half the size.

ok thx for the fast anser !

I love this theme but I can't get it to work properly.  

I finally can see all the playlists now (capcom classics, cps etc) but no videos or anything are playing for any of the playlists.  Is there a setting that I'm missing or did i set something up incorrectly?
This is a fresh install that I just did last night with the latest version of Launchbox/BigBox.

Have you downloaded the videos? They are not included in the theme and need to be downloaded via Tools/download platform/playlist videos.

I believe so.  I did setup my emumovies login when I started the import.  

I recently got a new computer so this is the first time I've setup Launchbox on this one but I know previously I had it working without a hitch.

They dont come from emumovies they are from launchbox itself. Tools/Options/download platform/playlist videos, its a specific different menu item specifically for these video types. Just go to your Launchbox/Videos/Playlists folder and look to see if there are any videos in there.

Ohhhhhh, let me try that one.  

 

Thanks!  I'll let you know how that goes.

Looks like that was my problem.  Thanks for the assist!

hi there idk if this is the right spot for a request/question but I was curious if there was any way to alter the font...example were there are no clear logos at just white letters...I seen it in another theme but actually love the hell outta this one so wasn't sure if this is something I can easily do or what thanks for any help in advance 

Hey, @Jason Carr i am experiencing heavy lag when moving on and off collections. Its not just ur theme, ever theme behaves the same. And i am at full stop as i cant figure out what is causing the issue.

I have log here but it doesnt tell me much ,or maybe i cant read properly

There are few exceptions warnings.

There isnt nothing out of ordinary in my collections, just video themes in playlist folder, ~10gb total of video files.Playlist xml folder has 107 xml files (mame classics are ~100kb rest is under 60kb in file size.)

IS there something that u see , to help me solve the issue?

 

P.S lag(delay) is up to 10 seconds, move to collections and video wont even show, for 4 seconds even controls would freeze, after 10 sec collections video shows with logo. I move away , return to colections , same thing happens again

 

Ok, i may have found some logistic issue , same thing but with slight less delay is happening in Launchbox (above was bigbox) when moving from and on to collections

cpu spikes on single core to 100% and time to switch and actually show collections is 5-8 seconds. Thats a lot for that job.

Intel quad 2500k with 16gb ram.

launchbox Debug 2018-11-02 08-26-07 PM.rar

 

Something must be wrong, because ALL games, which have ~15k games are showing instant, while collections, which have bunch of xml files but only 10th of all games it takes up to 10 seconds just to show

Hi Undertherainbow, if you would, please create a separate thread so we can troubleshoot. I need to know whether you're running the latest beta or the official release (what version exactly).
