They are there...but,they are named PC Games. This was actually a mistake,and there are a few other systems I have to fix up like that as well. On my cabinet I call it PC Games,but,when I released it,I figured Windows was a better name since there are alot of different categories of PC Games. Refried 2.0 is the version from my cabinet.To remedy this easily,you can go into each custom view folder in the themes "Views" folder and change the name of all the PC Games xaml's to Windows.

Whiting,Indiana...a peaceful little town....30 minutes out from South Side Chicago where I lived the first 30 or so years of my life

This is odd,because in the new version of the default theme,there is artwork for "Sony Playstation Portable" and "Sony PSP" But,in the old version of the theme,this is not the case...it only had "Sony Playstation Portable" And in the Queso Addon,it really doesn't matter what the artwork is called,as long as the custom view file for that platform,references it by the correct name,which out-of-the-box, it does... And as long as the view file is named after the users platform name correctly,which is the first place a user should look if artwork doesn't show correctly. I think you may have possibly lost something in the installation,and you are using the old version of Refried,but,merged the queso addon into it.I know you said it was a fresh install,but,all the evidence points to the possibility of PEBCAK...if not,then I will eat my shoe.Or possibly the drastic change of the Refried themes structure,while still retaining the same name of the theme,may have caused an issue with LaunchBox itself. What I would do is start with a fresh download of Refried 2.0 and Queso Fresco. Change Big Box to a different theme in the options menu. Disable "Remember Separate View for each Platform" Browse through that different theme,change views on a platform Shut down big box and remove anything related to refried from your themes folder. Place the new version of Refried and merge the addon into it. Then start big box and see if that solves anything. Also,let me know if the ps3-ps4 thing persists after this and I will look into it further. I don't have those on my cabinet,but,I can try to figure out what is going on.Just an fyi on this though,I did change the name of the custom "Nintendo Entertainment System" wheelgamesview xaml to "nintendo entertainment system", and it made no difference. The addon border showed just fine,and capitalization doesn't seem to matter. " I went and renamed all PS references with uppercase (i.e., Sony PlayStation) so everything was same." I am curious about what files you had to rename in this process though. The ghost folders might be part of the first problem,and probably has something to do with the "Remember Separate Views" option.Hopefully it gets sorted out with the above method.

doh..that's 2 of them now...thanks for letting me know

Thanks for the heads up...not sure how that happened. Luckily it's not a platform that most people have,but, next update I will straighten it out

literally one of the first lines in the themes description,on the download page.... *This replaces the old version of Refried entirely. DO NOT merge this new version with the old one.

straight from the download page description ... Important note**If you install this theme,and the artwork does not display properly for a platform on your system,then more than likely it is a naming conflict between your platform and the files in the theme. To fix this issue,you must locate these files and change the name to your actual platforms name: 1.Images/Theme/Background/(name of your platform that is mislabeled) 2.Images/Theme/VideoBorder/(name of your platform that is mislabeled) If you install the Queso Fresco addon as well,then you must also rename the custom view xaml files to your platform name.

You would probably have luck looking up HyperPi PC videos...or maybe the work done by @harryoke would fit the style you are looking for

The ones linked are as close as you are going to find,if you are trying to match my theme...sorry. I'm actually not even sure I know exactly what you are asking for tbh.

I just backed out to options,then switched to criticalzone...exited options to load criticalzone...shut down big box...moved all the old refried files to a backup folder...then loaded big box again and switched to refried 2.0. May not have been the easiest way,but,it worked fine for me. Also,what neil said about turning off the seperate views per platform option and doing things and stuff.

If you change the text size,it will also change the wheel size...if that is something you are ok with,then the item colored red here will alter the size...It is near the bottom of the view xaml,and you will have to change this value for every system/view you want to change. The best way would be to use Notepad++ and change them all at once in bulk. <!-- WHEEL --> <coverFlow:FlowControl x:Name="FlowControl" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="4" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="8" CoverFactory="{Binding CoverFactory}" ImageType="Clear Logos" CurveAmount="0" CameraZPosition="2.1" VisibleCount="16" PageSize="6" Spacing="1" ItemZPosition="0.7" SelectedItemZPosition="1.1" Panel.ZIndex="10" > <coverFlow:FlowControl.Opacity>100</coverFlow:FlowControl.Opacity> <coverFlow:FlowControl.Effect> <DropShadowEffect BlurRadius="20" Direction="-10" RenderingBias="Quality" ShadowDepth="1" Color="White" /> </coverFlow:FlowControl.Effect> </coverFlow:FlowControl>

nope,same files

The old Refried before today,is no more...so you can trash that with it's 200+ themes....or keep it....if you want. The new Refried is just 1 theme....and if you choose to use addons,you just take the stuff in the addon zip files and combine them into the main Unified Refried theme and they should just work (as long as I did everything right).

yep

alright...2.0 is good to go

Just a heads up Do not download refried 2.0 just yet. I changed the description in the theme post,so it may look like the update is live,but,it is currently uploading,and the available version is the older one. I will post here when it is done and ready for download

This is explained in the themes description on the download page ---- "In order to make this work properly,you must go into LaunchBox options,and change the priority for Cart Back Image to Arcade - Marquee,and uncheck anything else."

Mine's different... or... is it......?

1) I'm not sure if there is a way to know really...other than visual queues in the artwork placement and stuff. I wouldn't mind having maybe a popup text that shows for a few seconds,and shows the current view you are on when toggling through views. 2)With my next update,it won't...the whole Refried theme structure is going to change drastically,so it will be a fresh install. I wouldn't stress making too many changes to the current 200+ themes out now,because they are all going away,and becoming just 2 themes after the update. Same features,smaller and easier to use package.

Find the following section in the view xaml you want to change (It's near the bottom)...and delete the highlighted section.. <!-- WHEEL --> <coverFlow:FlowControl x:Name="FlowControl" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Grid.Column="4" Grid.ColumnSpan="3" Grid.Row="0" Grid.RowSpan="8" CoverFactory="{Binding CoverFactory}" ImageType="Clear Logos" CurveAmount="0" CameraZPosition="2.1" VisibleCount="16" PageSize="6" Spacing="1" ItemZPosition="0.7" SelectedItemZPosition="1.1" Panel.ZIndex="10" > <coverFlow:FlowControl.Opacity>100</coverFlow:FlowControl.Opacity> <coverFlow:FlowControl.Effect> <DropShadowEffect BlurRadius="20" Direction="-10" RenderingBias="Quality" ShadowDepth="1" Color="White" /> </coverFlow:FlowControl.Effect> </coverFlow:FlowControl> Looks normal to me...you can set a view change key/button in big box options to browse views "Images/Platforms/(System Name)/Clear Logo/(System Name).png" "Images/Playlists/(Playlist Name)/Clear Logo/(Playlist Name).png" Find the following in the view xaml you want to change(It's near the top),and delete the highlighted sections.. <!-- FADING WHEEL --> <DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames Storyboard.TargetProperty="(UIElement.Opacity)" Storyboard.TargetName="FlowControl"> <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.0" Value="1"/> <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:0.8" Value="1"/> <EasingDoubleKeyFrame KeyTime="0:0:1.3" Value="0.15"/> </DoubleAnimationUsingKeyFrames> <Int32Animation Storyboard.TargetName="FlowControl" Duration="00:00:1.9" Storyboard.TargetProperty="(Panel.ZIndex)" From="10" To="2"/> To change the order the platforms display,you can go into Launchbox and right click a platforms title and select edit,then in the edit menu you can assign sort titles to each platform to place them in any order you specify. I did the same exact thing to group by companies (ie;Nintendo,Sega,etc.). I labeled them A1,A2,A3,B1,B2,B3....that way if I ever add new systems,I won't have to change a bunch of sort titles...I just name the new one B4 or whatever.

Thanks...the Refried Startup screens aren't quite finished yet...I have a big move coming up mid February,so sometime after that I will finish up the work needed and release them as a startup theme.

Been a while since I posted...so I figured I would throw an update out there of what I have been up to. Here is the status of the Refried Startup screens so far... Logos are finished for 201 systems... Examples: Now Loading text is finished for 160 systems (alot of them require/required custom work) .... Examples: Once the startup screens are finished and released,I will be working on a Refried Marquee set. Also with the recent changes to Launchbox theme structure,Refried does not appear to be broken in its current state,but,an update will be released soon with a restructured format that will make applying the theme much easier and user friendly,as well as some minor fixes/changes/tweaks. If anyone notices anything effected by the current changes,that seems to require immediate attention,feel free to notify me ASAP. Thanks!

@Jason Carr This is amazing...and I cannot wait to test this out! Unfortunately, I literally just broke down my arcade cabinet last night,to prepare for our move to the big place in February ,but,at least we finally can get out of this shoe-box we have been living in since July. As soon as I am back up and running,I can update the theme,and push the update to the forums....I seriously can't wait!
