Unified Redux 1.8

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).

@Jason Carr

Hey!

I didn't get time to respond earlier, busy and stuff u know.

Anyway , what ever u did in 9.0 beta 10 , solved entire issue about collections!

Its loading lightning fast , instant i might say! I must say honestly that i wasnt expecting it to be dealt with but u surprised me! Well done

Another thing i noticed in previous version (beta 9), u also fixed theme resources loading. My Room theme had severe loading issues of resources ,but since beta 9 its lightning fast as well as collections. So i guess , thank you is in order! Those two things were seriously putting me off from using LB/BB in permanent base.

Yes, you can add any systems you want yourself. Just go to LaunchBox\Themes\Unified Redux\Images\Theme and place image files that are named with the name of the platform into the Background, Logo, Pointer, and VideoBorder folders.

I did it but it does not change anything ... background, logo, pointer always remain the default bigbox

Go ahead and create a new thread to ask for help on that. Not sure what could be going wrong but we'll need more details as that should work just fine.

ok

I am new in launchbox amd I am trying to use this theme.
However, I am not able to do this step and when changing the theme complains about lack of access to the dll files.

"Go to the “Plugins” folder inside of the extracted folder and right-click on the .dll files. Choose Properties -> Click on “Unblock” at the bottom of the window. Close the window. Repeat that for all .dll files in that folder. If the "Unblock" button isn't there than you are already good to go."

In my windows 10, I don't have the "unblock" option and the properties it seems to indicate that all users have "full access".

Any suggestions on how to solve it?

Thanks, 

Francesc

Hi Flope, are you using a work machine or something like that? It is possible that someone has configured your machine to disallow stuff like that. The full access thing is actually unrelated. Another thing that can help is to install 7-zip or WinRAR and use that to extract the theme files instead of the Windows zip utility, as they should automatically be unblocked if you use a separate unzip utility.

Love the theme, only wish there was a way to make a coverflow view included for my magazines and comics. Also is there a way to have a view where the "disc" doesn't spin. I like seeing the cartridges but they spin. Again very cool theme on my top 3. Thank you so much Jason for creating this, Been as much fun playing with this as it is to play the games

Wow do I feel dumb. Didn't realize you could change themes per system.  Still wish the "discs" didn't spin but holy cow. Thanks to you Jason and Criticalcid.

You can enable the default CoverFlow view again by editing the ThemeSettings.xml file in the theme. Just change the DisableCoverFlowGamesView value to false instead of true.

You should be able to use a different view to get the discs to stop spinning. There are views for no cart/disc, spinning cart/disc, and static cart/disc.

Thanks for the help. Yes, I am using a win 10 from work. That might be the issue 

I tried the winrar approach and other stuff including running some unlock-file command from the power shelll but nothing work 

I will keep looking.

Sadly you might not be able to get past it since your work has locked down the machine; that would be my guess.

Is there any way to slow the disc spin speed down a bit?

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.

This no longer seems to be true. Unified 1.1.1 is a 679MB download. This theme is 2.3GB, so more than 3 times as large. Are there a lot more platform videos for all the auto generated playlist platforms?

The latest version is around 280mb, you are not adding all the versions together are you? And there are no videos included.

+1 Third question asking about this. Not complaining, just keeping count until we can get an answer. Would we have to change the code using Visual Studio, or is this a simple XAML file change? The latter sure would be a nice option.
