    Sure, I just uploaded a version of CriticalZone which uses for all views the default fanart images instead of the animated video as background. :)

    Thank you so much Cid. You are too kind! :)

    It looks awesome and is running great so far. The video backgrounds still cause lag on my G3258 processor, but this is a good alternative for me and I'm sure many other users.

    @imdavid555 Are you still seeing this with the latest beta version?

    I can let you know tonight when I get home. I stopped using this theme because of this issue. I was able to consistently replicate it right away by just navigating the menu of platform wheel 4 of this view.@Jason Carr

    I believe @kmoney also was seeing this issue. Not sure if he still is.

    Go to the "View" folder within the theme and edit the view you want to alter the text in. In this example I'll use Platform view 3.

    I'll right click and select edit on "PlatformWheel3FiltersView"

    Find this part of the the file

     <!-- LOGO + VIEW TITLE -->
                <Grid Grid.Column="0" Grid.Row="0" Panel.ZIndex="20"> 
                    <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

                        <RowDefinition Height="100*"/>
                    </Grid.RowDefinitions>
                     <!-- <Viewbox Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="0" HorizontalAlignment="Center"> -->
                         <!-- <TextBlock Text="-  B I G   B O X  -" Style="{DynamicResource {StaticResource AOAccentTxt}}" /> -->
                     <!-- </Viewbox> -->
                     <!-- <Viewbox Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="1" HorizontalAlignment="Center"> -->
                         <!-- <TextBlock Text="P L A T F O R M S" Style="{DynamicResource {StaticResource AOAccentTxt}}" /> -->
                     <!-- </Viewbox> -->
                </Grid>

    I bolded the text. you can change to whatever you like or just remove it to be blank

    Would it be possible to add Fanart Background support? For example, Right now I am using the Scuffy image

    Capture.JPGWhen I go into NES I would like to see my Nintendo Fanart Background

    Capture11.JPGWhen I go to SNES, my SNES fanart Background, etc.

    Sure thing. This happens because that part of the background image is pretty light so there's not much contrast with the font. You can change the font used via AOStyles.xaml -- look for setting AODecoFontColor. You can also adjust AOAccentTintyOpacity to be closer to a value of 1 (opaque) if you want. This will have global effects on the theme, affecting other views which use the Deco font.

    Thanks eatkinola! Looks great now :)

    Was considering doing that view, you just helped me make up my mind so yes. The next update will also have 16:9 views for platforms and games. It will skin itself with whatever image you want, and will be skinnable with videos too ... almost fell out my chair when I found out how to do that. Should be done in a day or so.

    This is awesome news! Looking forward to the update! :)
