BIGFLIX: A new user experience for your HTPC
LogicalEgo replied to SNAK3ATER's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
The Wall View is a hard one to pin down. I haven't really messed with it to much. I am going to go for a flat look with as little as animation as possible with just a small color outline to show what is highlighted. If that is possible anyways. -
theme CriticalZone / CriticalZone - BlueBox
LogicalEgo replied to CriticalCid's topic in Big Box Custom Themes
What do you mean by wheels are disappearing? If you mean sometimes it shows the incorrect one because you have multiple wheels in different themes that is unfortunately a BigBox issue due to the addition of switching themes on the fly and caching. It is something Jason plans to work on I believe.- 626 replies

You can do this pretty easily but you are going to have to edit multiple xml files in order to get it to work correctly. I suggest downloading a program called notepad++. Once you have it installed go into critcalzone theme folder, views open the correct view with notepad++ and look for stings that have <TextBlock Text= and <GradientStop Color=. It will take some work but once you have the base colors you want you can use notepad++ replace in files feature to automate the process.

More than likely because with the default engine it has to complete it's play cycle before shifting to another with the platform videos. There will be a clean version, I use that one myself as well. These are just two test version to make sure everything is working as should. If you look at my d/l sections I still havent pulled the older themes yet.

I am sure Jason will come up with a solution, even as painful as having to resend keys in favor of better encryption.

Thanks for the feed back. Yes the new location for the playback video is just in the Video root folder and has to be named background.mp4. As of right now I am removing the plugin that enables the random/shuffle playback for multiple videos because @Jason Carr is serious about making this an actual BigBox option which would integrate the process and not only benefits my themes but also everyone else's. I can take a look, there is a number of newer arcade systems I have added to my cab set up that I also need to make banners and wheels for, just finding the time is mainly the delay. @Zombeaver clear logos and banners are what mine are based off of and he may have covered those systems/platforms already if you need to fill those during the wait.

Does all this for free in his spare time to benefit us all, doesn't feel well. Get off your ass and do more work!

Thanks dude, appreciate the help. I will post them this Monday and let you know. All I really need is to test how smooth things run and some extended attract modes for both.

Work harder @Riffman81!

I am in need of some beta testers before putting out some changes to both CityHunter 2 and Blade Runner. If anyone is interested please speak up. I need some test monkeys.

If you get the basics laid out, I can help with design. It is my stronger area of theme creation.

I would like it if someone could test both CityHunter 2 and Blade Runner before I publicly release the changes. I need some test subjects.

Also dont rule out fanart as a default choice for background, you could make a number of edits to a single wall and have the theme randomly cycle through them on a per platform basis. I do that in my Blade Runner theme.

Hmm, it is rather nice and clean looking, I would suggest moving away from the per game wallpaper (for size and sanity reasons) and design it around per system background, something clean looking to go with the simple interface you have going on. It is a really nice theme and look forward to what you are going to come up with.

Oh we can make this happen.

dsound would be correct since you are using intel's integrated hardware. If you ever plan to throw in a nvida card and run it through hdmi switch back over to xaudio.

Panzer Dragoon, Guardian Heroes, Policenauts, almost perfect arcade ports, FIGHT ME BRO!

Saturn is a vastly underrated system full of great games. The 32X not so much but I still have a soft spot for it. Cosmic Carnage is some of the best cheese in the galaxy.

I love roasting my own favorite systems.

I think the Sega achievements are currently running off the saturn or 32x, which is why they are having troubles
