What a fantastic theme. My thanks goes out to all those named in the first post.
I see instructions in this thread for preventing the platform selection wheel from fading so that's great. And for removing the weather which I'll do (any way to keep the time by the way?). And thanks to the extra details in the first post, I understood why my platforms had a black background and I downloaded the necessary videos which resolved that. That does make me wonder why there are even background images in the folder Unified\Images\Theme\Background, because I understand Unified only shows platform videos not platform images? Edit: ignore this sentence - I forgot about the thematic graphics!
My main question though is if it's possible for the Flip Box function to work in Unified. I know a current limitation of Launchbox/Big Box is that Flip Box doesn't work with 3D boxes and Unified themes only show 3D boxes. So I guess the question is if it's possible to tell Unified to show standard 2D front boxes only, and if so, would that then allow Flip Box to work in Unified? I do prefer 3D boxes but I figure if it's possible to tell Unified to show standard 2D front boxes only, I can still manually replace them with the 3D box pngs/jpgs. I'm happy to edit the xmls/axmls. In fact I had a quick stab editing
Binding Path=ActiveGame.Box3DImagePath
in the relevant view to
Binding Path=ActiveGame.FrontImagePath
based on another theme but no joy and of course this was just a hacky guess.
Final question is, although I appreciate the default Big Box logo within a game's detail view is a limitation, is it nonetheless possible to allow the respective game's logo there instead, even if it means potential glitches which perhaps I could try and overcome? If not, is it possible at least for nothing in plce of the Big Box logo? Edit - ignore this sentence, figured out how to delete the _default.png image.
