Wanna make one at 3840x1600 for my ultrawide?

Those look awesome Harry. I'll see how they look in Big Box and maybe we can switch them in as the defaults.

You mean the complete list of platforms and playlists? It would be extremely long, but the complete list would contain all the platforms listed on the LaunchBox Games Database, all the genres listed on the LaunchBox Games Database (you can see the full list by going to add a game), all the regions, Single Player, Multiplayer, and Cooperative. Then there's developers and publishers, but that would be a crazy undertaking. Also all the arcade playlists which are separate. Lol.

@RetroHumanoid When you get back online, take a look at the minor changes I made to Unified Redux. You guys can probably get everything all working again with 9.0 by editing the files in the views folder, searching for "FilterTitle" and replacing them all with "NonPlaylistNonCategoryPlatformTitle".

By the way guys, 9.0 is out, and all the new clear logos are beautiful.

The genres originally came from http://thegamesdb.net, way back from when we were given their data and started our own games database. It's barely been changed since then. I know it's not perfect, but it's decent and changing them would be quite a process, considering.

I hear you. It's on my list.

You missed one. Just kidding.

In for the official release.

Beautiful! Thank you so much @dragon57. I'll get these all integrated tomorrow morning before the official release.

Woot!

@dragon57 For the dark parts like the black figures in MMO, Coop, Multiplayer, Single Player, etc., it'd be best if there was a white outline or a a white glow around them or something. That way they won't blend in to the dark background. Either way, it's amazing to have all these gaps filled in.

DUDE! You're the KING.

I don't think this is possible currently.

...and Unified Redux is updated:

Oh, also if you're missing playlist clear logos, you may want to go do a playlist clear logo image cache refresh in Big Box, as there are more default images provided now.

Any testing you guys can do on this new beta would be appreciated, especially in Big Box with the new playlists. Assuming all goes well, we'll probably release tomorrow.

Alright, so I had planned to release today, but was a bit frustrated because Big Box was so bare with the new auto-generated playlists. I made some changes/additions that really help to make it a more cohesive experience: - Improvement: Big Box will now use the parent platform's video if no video exists for the selected playlist or category - Improvement: Big Box will now use the parent platform's background images if no background image exists for the selected playlist or category - Improvement: When switching between platforms, categories, and playlists in Big Box, if the same video is used, it will no longer restart - Improvement: Many new default clear logos for genres, play modes, All Games, and Favorites have been added thanks to the community This primarily just helps to make things work better while the new categories and playlists are selected. Also, we are working on getting more default clear logos over here: Finally, I'm going to be releasing an updated version of the Unified Redux theme very shortly that makes it work much better with the auto-generated playlists as well:

Yeah, I haven't looked into it yet. I don't plan to fix it before the 9.0 release, unfortunately.

@rexryan The Stealth one is an obvious win. I like the All Games one better than the current one, but it's a bit too small to replace it. Do you have a bigger one by chance?

Boom! Thank you @rexryan. Love them both. I'll get them in.

Nope! I had planned to release today but got caught up in some fixes. So I'll get this into today's beta.

Hey all, great work as usual. I went to put out the official release this morning but then realized we couldn't really demo the new auto-generate playlist features because we're missing clear logos for most of them. I hate to delay the official release, but it just feels empty without them. Thanks to @RetroHumanoid, @natemac00, and @RetroNi (and probably some others that I've missed), I have found a number of them already, but there's still a good number that we're missing. If anyone wants to contribute, I'd be very grateful. Here's what we're missing: Board Game Construction and Management Simulation Education Life Simulation MMO Music Party Quiz Sandbox Stealth Vehicle Simulation Visual Novel Cooperative Multiplayer Single Player And here's what we currently have: Even if we already have a logo, if you find or want to create something better (such as the simple Action and Adventure logos without any extra theming), go for it. Thank you so much all. I've been hunting around all day so far lol.

That is a cool feature request; I actually don't think I've heard it before. We have a long list of poll items to work on first, but I definitely think it would be a good feature to add to the next community poll.
