That is the TextList View and not a Wheel View. Try to change it with a button/key like I've described in in the tips section. -
What do you mean with either? Your platform view looks exactly like it is supposed to look like. It shows the platform video in fullscreen. If you want the matching platform video for the theme you’ll have to download the Unified platform videos from EmuMovies like I’ve described it in the tips section of the download description. They don't come with the theme itself. Regarding your Games Views. I have the feeling that you still have the TextList View selected. Is that the case? Because when you look at the featured Views list you'll see that this one isn’t themed at the moment. You’ll have to switch the View to one of the Vertical Wheel Views. All described in the download description how you do that.
-
Unfortunately no, the Unfied Artwork isn't related to the image cache, so refreshing that won't work. How does it look for you when you enter the platform?
-
Ah, I see. Unfortunately that's not possible due to compatability reasons and the general way this theme is build.
-
Oh I could make the videos stretching across all Views, but the thing is that I simply don’t want that for the other 3 Views with the video border as that would mean to also stretch 16:9 videos to 4:3. I don’t have anything against stretching 4:3 content to 16:9 but the other way around just looks plainly horrible in my eyes. So if Jason adds an option for that I would only enable that for the fullscreen view regardless.

It should definitely work with the latest beat versions… Unfortunately I have absolutely no idea what could causing this. All I can say at this point is that you should try to re-install the theme and reset your Big Box options. Make sure that you have Big Box closed and go to the Data folder inside your LaunchBox folder. Move the BigBoxSettings.xml file to any other folder of your choice. Also just delete the whole Unified folder and re-download it. That should hopefully work.
-
Hm..that filepath seems to be correct. Do you happen to use an older version of LaunchBox? This theme may not work with versions previous to 8.0
-
Can you post your complete filepath for the folder that contains the platform pointers or here or make a screenshot of it?
-
Look here if you find a set that fits your needs. The one I've used in the video is the Crylen set https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/category/14-platform-clear-logos/
-
If you don't see any kind of artwork than you have wrong filepaths at some point. Have you renamed the theme folder? It has to be called exactly "Unified" in order for it to work.
-
Yes, like I said I did videos for all platforms that are currently covered in this theme. If it isn't already available through the LaunchBox downloader then they will be shortly but if you don't wanna wait than you can always grab them manually from the EmuMovies FTP under /Official/Platform Videos But thanks for creating a new one anyway, I appreciate it. It’s always better to have more choices Unfortunately, I can’t do that without breaking fullscreen support for 16:9 videos. This View is still not finished as I rather want to have the 4:3 videos stretched to fullscreen at the end of the day, to get a more HyperSpin feeling when playing recorded HyperSpin themes. Unfortunately is the video element very limited in that regard which doesn’t allow me to do that. I really, really hope that @Jason Carr will add support for that anytime soon as I’m asking for this since a long time.
-
And I have to thank you for creating these wonderful themes in the first place. I couldn’t have done it without all the amazing work that you and all the other original creators did
-
Nope. You'll find out soon enough
-
Haha perfect timing guys. As some of you might have noticed I've finished the Unified platform video set. All platforms that are covered in this theme have a matching Unified platform video now! I just talked to @circo and the vast majority of the new videos are now available through the platform/playlist video downloader if you have an EmuMovie premium account. You can now all go ahead and download them just as easy as @Charco has explained it. The few videos that are still missing should follow very soon.
-
Have you renamed the folder of the theme? It has to be called ecactly "Unified" or it won't work. Also make sure that in the Big Box Options -> Views –> “Show Games List Title” is enabled.
-
Yeah, it was quite a ton of work to convert all of it, especially when I ran out of .psd files and had to extract everything out of the actual HS themes. Thanks, I'm loving the design of your wheels and they are still my favorites across all of the other available wheel styles that I've came across.

Here you go:

CriticalCid replied to CriticalCid's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
You're right, I've found the issue. The PlatformWheel2 and PlatformWheel3 Views have to be swapped. This should work: PlatformWheel2FiltersView.xaml PlatformWheel3FiltersView.xaml -
Thanks for the info. I already found something that breaks it. Make sure that in the Big Box Options -> Views –> “Show Games List Title” is enabled. Let me know if that fixes it for you or if there is still something else causing problems.

You don’t have to do anything with RocketLauncher. Forget that part if that doesn’t say anything to you. Let’s say you have a platform called “Playstation” in your LaunchBox setup. The theme can’t find the proper artwork for it because it’s looking for a platform called “Sony PlayStation” instead. What you have to do now is to rename the artwork to make it match with the names you have in your LaunchBox setup. You can find the artwork in the following folder: “..\LaunchBox\Themes\Unified\Images\Theme\..” In this folder you have 4 sub-folders which contain the different parts of the artwork. Now you have to go in all four of them and search for the platforms that don’t work. In my example you would now need to find all images that are called “Sony PlayStation” and rename them to “Playstation” so that the names fit to your platform names inside your LaunchBox. I hope that was now clear enough.
-
Yes, DPI fix is already included.
-
From the download description: Individual platform artwork not showing up?: The media files that are inside the “..\LaunchBox\Themes\Unified\Images\Theme\..” folder have to be named exactly like your platforms inside LaunchBox. I've went with the HyperList/RocketLauncher naming conventions for the filenames in this package. If Big Box doesn’t show any individual artwork for a system that is listed above you may need to manually rename the relevant files for that platform in all four sub-folders.
-
Unfortunately is that line already on its limit when it comes to longer publisher or genre names respectively combinations of many genres. I definitely plan to modify the default TextList Games View as well. I’ve played around with it and unfortunately I can’t properly fade it in and out due some technical reasons for triggering the animation. That’s why it didn’t make the cut for the initial release but I’ll definitely come back to it.
-
I thought about it but I couldn't find a nice spot for it. I'll see if I can come up with something for the next update.
-
No theme update, I've just replaced a screenshot in the description. Sorry if you got an update notification because of that.
