    Thanks! I just hope that we will get video support for the wall view very soon.

    Another small update. I've changed the font of the temperature to the general font of the theme, it should fit more in now. @ALIE Unfortunately that's not possible right now but I agree that this would be a great addition. Maybe @Jason Carr can look into it?
  3. CriticalCid
    Wow… I swear that the last time I tried it it didn’t work but I just have tested it again and it works like a charm... I really must’ve messed up something the last time… So yeah… you can cross font and text color from my list

    The plugin works perfectly fine and it's very easy to add into a theme. 5/5

    Thanks, I appreciate it! Just take your time, your plugin already works well enough anyway I’ve already included it in my new theme

    Thanks. I appreciate it Unfortunately, the games count for Playlists and Platform Categories doesn't work at the moment (in all themes) and the Platform Views will always show that there are 0 Games available for them. As far as I know is that something that @Jason Carr wants to tackle soon-ish.

    Thanks for reporting. I just released an update which should have this fixed Any further discussions about Aeon MQ7 please in its own thread:

    And here’s already the first update! It was brought to my attention that some logos were cut off in the Platform Views. Should be fixed now

    Hey guys, I just wanted to inform you all that I just released a preview version of my new theme: Aeon MQ7 It’s a loose port / interpretation of the Kodi skin with the same name, which was a heavy inspiration for CriticalZone. Therefore both themes share a lot of similarities and if you like CriticalZone you may could like Aeon MQ7 as well

    Aeon MQ7 [Preview Version] View File This is a loose port / interpretation of the Aeon MQ7 skin for Kodi. It’s one of my absolute favorite skins for Kodi and was a huge inspiration for my first BigBox theme: CriticalZone After @NJDave71 already brought Aeon Nox to BigBox I thought it would be time to bring Aeon MQ as well. This theme was designed for 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratios and tested on 1920x1080 and 1920x1200 resolutions! This is just an early preview version that I built last September. Due to my new job I hadn’t much time to finish it up as an extensive theme like CriticalZone. I used the holidays to polish the Views that I already had as I don’t want to just sit on it any longer and I have definitely planned to add a ton of new Games Views to this, but I don’t know when I will find the time to do it. So for now just take it as it is and tell me what you think about it and what do you wish for potential updates. This theme currently features 4 Platforms and 3 Games Views. How to install: 1. Just download the archive and extract it to: “..\LaunchBox\Themes\” 2. Go to the “Plugins” folder inside of the extracted folder and right-click on of the .dll file. Choose Properties -> Click on “Unblock” at the bottom of the window. Close the window. If the "Unblock" button isn't there than you are already good to go. 3. Open the Options menu in BigBox -> go to “Views” and change the Theme to "Aeon MQ7". IMPORTANT: This theme requires at least LB v9.4 to work properly! Showcase video of the Game Views by @pipes78 I like to thank the following persons for their indirect help to create this theme: @eatkinola for his guide on how to add fonts as a plugin And of course everyone who was working on the original Aeon MQ skin! Known issues: - The navigation for the game boxes doesn’t work in the Horizontal Wheel Platforms View 1 - The available space for the horizontal scrolling text gets smaller the higher the DPI settings are on your PC.

    I’m a digital hoarder (I have over 3.5k Games on Steam alone *cough* *cough*) as I see my FE setup more like a digital museum of video game history but it’s indeed a problem to find all games worth your time in a huge collection. That’s why I love the playlist feature as it allows to easily create “Best of” lists. I’m currently working on 2 giant playlists projects called “Best Games of All-Time™“ and “The Top 100 notable games of every year” which will hopefully be my own compass to navigate through every worthwhile game in video game history. The best games lists will be a merge of various other lists of that kind and will feature a final ranking for every game. This playlist will then serve as base for my second project which will be a merge of hundreds various top lists with different focuses (and not ranked as it also includes not so great, but still notable for one reason or another, games). I also include remakes, remasters, notable ports and “definitve” versions of every game if something in that regard exists. With that said, it’s a tremendous and time consuming work to get through hundreds of lists which will hopefully cover the entire video game history in the end. I’m working on it since over 1.5 years, have currently over 5.4k different games in my work sheet and went through over 200 lists/podcasts/videos so far and there is still no end in sight… Sorry for the big tease but I just wanted to tell you guys that a (play)list like you have in mind is in the works. I'm also gonna make it to my New Year's resolution to finish these projects in 2018

    Hey Grila, I recently played around with your plugin and it works like a charm But nevertheless I have a few requests if you don’t mind: 1. Show C or F behind the ° 2. Being able to change the font and text color of the temperature 3. Show the name of the currently set up location
  14. CriticalCid
    You're welcome
  15. CriticalCid
    Sure. Replace this file with the already existing one in your Views folder: TextFiltersView.xaml If it’s too dark for you just open the file with a text editor of your choice, go to line 54 (TEXTLIST GLASS BAR) and reduce the opacity value. I haven’t set it to scroll as I really don’t like it at all when both columns scroll asynchronous when one of them hit the end and start to scroll back. But yes, this decision also saved me some headaches that you are currently run into as well. The scrolling text is a beast to get it working as you want as there are a few things that tie in to that feature. For instance I never could get it working right with the DPI fix.

    Sorry if I was misleading. When I said that it’s not possible I meant that it’s not possible with the native BigBox theming options and requires programming of a custom plugin for that. If somebody else has already came up with something for their own theme I suggest you ask the creator of it on how to use it in a different theme. According to your error message does the View look for the BackgroundVideoOnly version of BlueBox but you have the default version of it installed. I just downloaded and checked the default BlueBox version and all file paths in the theme code are correct, so I'm not sure what's going on. I suggest to try to download it again but you should delete your current instance of CriticalZoneV2 - BlueBox first to make sure that you have no faulty remnants of a previous version left that could cause trouble. Sorry, haven't thought about that, my bad. You have to copy all plugins files from the CriticalZone folder to the plugins folder of your new Default theme as well.
  17. CriticalCid
    Looks like you have renamed the theme folder and therefore the Views can't find some of the files as the path is now wrong because of that. Just extract the theme again and leave the name as is. That's also a tipp in general: Don't ever rename custom themes or plug-ins Unfortunately it's not possible at the moment to differ between those two inside BigBox. Yes it’s possible. 1. Make a copy of the Default theme 2. Copy the View you want from the custom theme folder to your copy of the default folder (overwrite the existing view in this folder). In this case it’s the Wheel2GamesView.xaml from CriticalZone (you can find it in the "Views" sub-folder. 3. Open the “ThemeSettings.xml” file inside your Default theme copy and activate your copied View by changing the value of the correct View from true to false. In this case change this <DisableWheel2GamesView>true</DisableWheel2GamesView> to this <DisableWheel2GamesView>false</DisableWheel2GamesView> 4. Change the theme inside BigBox to your copy of the Default theme.

    Like I said, I don’t think it’s possible to change the text settings inside the wheel. BigBox automatically shows the game title inside the wheel when it’s set to Clear Logos and can’t find a logo for that game. On the other hand it uses these grey boxart templates with the LaunchBox logo in it for any other image types set in the wheel. You also can’t force BigBox to use these templates for missing Clear Logos instead of the game title either. So I fear that you are currently stuck with these white texts if you can’t find the matching clear logos for your games.
  19. CriticalCid
    Now you’ve confused me. None of your screenshots have green game titles inside the wheel and the second screenshot is basically the same as the one in your first post, just with a different game selected.
  20. CriticalCid
    I'm not sure if it's even possible to change the font settings of the text for missing wheels.
  21. CriticalCid
    He means the automatic fade in and out. @Dan Here you go CriticalZoneV2.zip
  22. CriticalCid
    Yes, the version in the download section. It currently has some stability issues when you use VLC as your video engine, so beware of that.
  23. CriticalCid
    It would be possible but would take WAY more time to build that. V2 has some info like the year and the manufacturer in this View but I won't add any more to it.
  24. CriticalCid
    Yep, if you know what to change in the theme code than that's just a matter of 2 minutes
  25. CriticalCid
    I've made a quick edit of the theme with no auto fade for this View. Here you go: CriticalZone_NoFade.zip Hm... they are looping perfectly fine on my end. Are only these videos affected or any videos in general? Have you tried to change the video playback engine in the BigBox options?
